What is the MOST important off-season change?

[skinsfaninok]

Makes no sense man, griffin needs a QB coach to succeed and Jay just didn't get the job done like he did with dalton. Hopefully it changes next yr

Not having a "QB coach" isn't that big of a deal to me. Gruden was hired at least in part because of his success developing Dalton, so he's always going to be hands on, more so than a lot of head coaches with their QB. And then we have McVay, who basically serves as a QB coach along with his OC duties. How many different coaches do the QBs need?

Anyway, I think Gruden wants a big hand in developing his QBs. Not sure he would even want a QB coach.

All year long we've suffered from poor QB play, no matter who was under center. Something needs to change there, like having a real, dedicated QB coach.

But is that Gruden's fault? Maybe he just needs more time to develop these guys... if they're even worth developing. This is his first year here after all.

I wouldn't be opposed to the idea, just don't think it's necessary.

Yeah I mean Gruden and McVay both work closely with the QBs, on Sundays you always see McVay right there with them on the bench. I don't think it's a huge thing to not have a dedicated "QB coach".

I don't know what "real GM" or "competent GM" necessarily means. I just know that the Team President and Team GM shouldn't be the same person. It's just too much for one person

So yeah they should resolve

As, if not more, important in my opinion is solving the QB issue. Trade RG3, trade Kirk, whatever. I just think they need to decide once and for all who they're going with moving forward

[SmootSmack]

I think they need a QB coach. Just about every team has one except the Redskins.

Jay Gruden and Sean McVay are both "rookies" in their respective coaching positions. To add on the responsibilities and pressures they have as is with spending dedicated time with two young QBs seems like a bit too much for me.

^ I agree, a QB coach that can focus on mechanics, go through read progression, etc. is important. Zorn made the same mistake about the QB coach thing. As the head coach you are like the CEO setting the overall strategy, you need the manage all parts. You don't have the time to focus on one position.

My dream scenario:
1. AJ Smith moves to head of scouting department VP. Fire Scott Campbell and steal Dan Morgan to be take Scott's old position. Bruce still in president role because he is a good buffer for Dan Snyder.

2. Fire Haz. spend a boat load of money to hire Kirby Smart, Ken Norton Jr., Mike Singletary, Wade Phillips, or Jim Mora Jr to be assistant HC-DC.

3. Hire a QB Coach.

4. Trade Kirk Cousins- We committed to RG3 the day we drafted him and paid a kings ransom. Gruden was hired to develop Robert. We need to commit to him and focus on making him grow as a NFL QB.

5. Build through the draft by focusing on players with a track record of success.

Seems like a solid list of possibilities, nice article with some gud insight

[REDSKINS4ever]

They have to release the entire starting offensive line....Trent Williams is the only true quality on that line......Polumbus, Chester, and Lauvo should be replaced.....the safety positions need to be addressed too......and lastly hire a new defensive coordinator and return back to the 4-3....

[sdskinsfan2001]

Fire Allen, hire a football General Manager. Someone that knows personnel. That's what real teams do.

Kerrigan definitely. He isn't going anywhere and he's a class act. B

I want this team to stop trading draft picks, and instead stockpile them. Commit to rebuilding thru the draft and stop looking for shortcuts. Commit to an identity - great Redskins champions of the past were built on great line play. Bolster personnel in the trenches. Seems to have worked pretty well for Dallas with 3 first round picks starting on their OL. I'm tired of watching Alfred Morris getting blown up 2 yards behind the line of scrimmage.
