If I recall though, you've never been a fan of Portis, saying he wasn't tough enough, or a hard-worker (something along those lines).

You're entitled to your opinion of course. But am I very off base in thinking this?

I do think the organization is disfunctional and I now need the Redskins to prove things to me before. In the past when the Skins were competent and well run, when they said something was going to happen I believed them because they had a track recored of success. They now have a track record of failure so that trust is gone.

BTW, what good news & decisions are you talking about? I am having a hard time coming up with any.

Well I'm referring to earlier this year, when you were saying nothing had changed with the Redskins and they were the same old throw money at other teams' players while neglecting our own.

And I said but what about re-signing Betts, Sellers, Fox, Jimoh; restructuring Thomas, Jansen, Wynn, etc? Granted they're not all starters but they are all key components of our team.

To which you responded with something along the lines of "Well those don't count really. And they'll have to do make the playoffs a few years in a row to win my trust back"

They will have to become winners again (which means a few playoff appearances in a row) before I believe this organization is no longer disfunctional.
