BA I think sometimes gets a bad rap on this board. He is put in hard position between DS and the media, and he says silly things on occasion, however, he has not been the total clown show Vinny the Ninny was- not even close. The trajectory has been slowly getting better over the last several years. DS certainly appears to be in his lane more than in the past as well.....my 2cp

I kind of agree with this. I don't believe there is anything wrong with fueling the fire under Scot McCloughan and telling him that he needs to do his best with player acquisitions. Yes, I agree, SM is the best move Daniel Snyder has made, but SM has to live up to that reputation. Sure, going 4-12 one year and then turning around and winning the division the next year with 9 wins was a big turnaround - and was kind of a blessing and curse. That was a pretty quick turnaround. But, with all things considered, the team didn't improve in 2016. Had our 2015 and 2016 seasons traded places, then it would be a different story.

So, I don't mind Bruce Allen telling Scot McCloughan that this is a shit or get off the pot moment. The team has to see improvements on the field and in the win column in 2017. Another 8 or 9 win season is mediocre.

Bruce,

Leave McC alone, you stupid shit!! He doesn't need to hit the bottle again, he's trying to clean the mess you created.
