I sometimes wonder if I would be such a die hard fan of this team if it weren't for him.

When he came back, I thought to myself, "Regardless of whether or not he's able to make us a winning team again, I'm just glad he cared enough to come back and at least try." He didn't do it for the money. He didn't do it for his ego. He did it because he cares about this organization and its fans. He left a thriving NASCAR team, sold his shares with the Falcons, and sacrificed, again, precious time with his family in order to help this team. Because of that reason, I feel indebted to him and give him my full support for as long as he chooses to be here regardless of the outcome.

That pretty much sums up my feelings as well. No matter what happens I greatly appreciate his efforts in trying to bring the Redskins back to life. As you said, I think is intentions in coming back were very genuine and he is a true Redskin for life. He helped put the Redskins back on the map in the 80's and early 90's and for that we as fans should be forever grateful.
