It did not get into this mess in one year so it will take longer than one year to straighten out. For the record, I 100% approve of this move!

I couldn't agree more. I have been saying for awhile that this organization has been being broken for 20 years and it could take over 5 years to fix. This team is in total rebuild mode but management will never come out and say it for fear of scaring off the few remaining ticket buying fans they have.

SM doesn't need to spend money on over-priced FAs, he need to get as many draft picks as he can get so this team can start down the road of drafting and developing players like all successful NFL teams do. SM has a huge and very difficult job ahead.

I dont blame them one bit but the charade has worn thin and nobody is buying that this team is close.

Honestly, I think if they came out and said they're in rebuild mode, it would show they've got a real plan in place. I personally would not be turned off by this at all. Actually... I would welcome this type statement, and I think a lot of fans would too.

I would welcome it. It would show that people in Redskins Park have a clue. You can't fix a problem if you are not aware of it.

Instead we get "winning off the field."

I hope SM has told them they're in rebuild mode. Seems to me that's a tough pill to swallow for Snyder and Allen. We need to operate just like Jacksonville is. Even though they suck, they're doing it the right way.

Its a tough pill to swallow for everyone. The best thing the Skins could do is to think of themselves as an expansion franchise (the sad truth is they aren't too far removed from an expansion franchise talent) and build from the inside out.
