Is excitement enough in 2012?

Now, with our D and possible offensive weapons we could compete for a division title next year.

Excitement may be enough for this year, but not beyond. Cam brought a ton of excitement to Carolina (living in Charlotte I can attest to it). But they are expecting the Panthers to compete for the division this year. There is no talk of still rebuilding. They expect them to win this year. i would venture that will be the same for us.

Solid reasoning here fanatic. I still think think 8-8 should be our baseline this season, but certainly next year there will be added pressure.

I agree Goat, 8-8 should be the baseline. Our problem was at QB last year and we still had line trouble on both sides of the ball. Not saying our lines sucked, but they have much room for improvement. Just duringthis draft we have severely upgraded ourselves at QB, and I think we have at least one potential starter out of the three hogs we drafted, with one or two good backups. Not sure about the D line though, hopefully this will be dealt with before the season starts. A more agressive D will creat more turnovers and maybe give Robert a bit more of a break in his rookie season. If we only win 8 games with the significant upgrades we have made, something maybe amiss at Redskins Park. If we don't have a division crown by the end of the 2014 season Shanny needs to be shown the door.

No Hard Knocks for Redskins | ProFootballTalk


Looks like our coaching staff is continuing to make good decisions with this team. I like the fact they declined Hard Knocks.
