Redskins Hatters In The Media

And this is coming from someone with tempered expectations.



More people should factor coaching into their votes. Dolphins and Seahawks have worse QB situations if you ask me. 49ers could easily be worse then us as well.

How are the Bengals not a poll option?

Anyone who uses the Bengals as an example of a franchise that is not subject to media ridicule sees the world through burgandy and gold colored glasses. The Redskins are treated like gods in the Pantheon compared to the scorn heaped on the Bengals for being cheap and for signing thugs/criminals. The team's refusal to consider trading their franchise QB who said he would retire rather than take another snap in Cincy has been a source of criticism there for about 5 months now.

The Redskins QB situation is different from the one's in Carolina and Seattle. The Panthers and the Seahawks face the same kind of challenge that the Skins face - - selecting a QB from a set of choices where every one of the choices has some warts. (Throw in the Dolphins and Browns here too - - and if Kevin Kolb is injured or lays an egg in Arizona, add them to this list.) HOW-EVAH:

In none of those other cities has the QB situation ALSO had this feature:

A 6-time Pro Bowl QB on the roster and the head coach got into a pissing contest last year that the team could not keep under wraps and necessitated the QB competition that is ongoing here.

That did not happen in Carolina or Miami or Cleveland or Cincy or Arizona or Seattle. (Matt Hasselbeck signed a bigger contract in Tennessee than Seattle was offering; that is different from getting traded because the QB and head coach and offensive coordinator could not play well together.)

If you want to continue to believe that the only reason for the Skins getting negative publicity is because the media hates the team for whatever reasons make sense to you, continue to do so. If that is what it takes to make you happy until the Redskins can assemble a team that can win 10 games or more in a season two years in a row, keep it rolling...
