I don't even think it's that complicated. Redskins fans are impatient. They always demand "results now" and also give up on people at the blink of an eye. Look how many "fire Shanahan" comments and threads we had in YEAR 1!


Welcome to the site, new guy.

Welcome to the site, new guy.
Well if the front office didn't shove a win now approach down our throats then perhaps the fans would be more patient. I know I would. If this QB situation blows up in the Shanahans faces, and it's a good chance it will, then the heat is really going to be on them, both from Snyder and the fans. And what if Blaine Gabbert gets time and plays well????

What?

We've been stocking up on young depth players and filling holes...not making flashy "win now" signings like the Eagles.

Are we watching the same Redskins team?

It's a win now approach, or try and win just enough to keep our jobs approach. Not saying it's awful but IMO we really shouldn't sign this many free agents cause it really never works.

How would you suggest they get to a 90 man training camp roster?

You're thinking of the Eagles. MS had a win now approach last year when he wasted picks on McNabb. If he had the same mentality this year, we would be throwing picks at the Bengals for Palmer.

We'd probably have Nnamdi and Holmes...with a ton of holes in the roster.

(sounds like Philly)
