I think that would be a good idea.

I'd love to see that happen. Sadly it probably won't.

Well, let's not worry about Gamble. It's not like we need help in the front Office, or would want to grab a division rival's disgruntled employee.

Though grabbing DJax worked out well for us.

Gruden has to choose what type of team he wants to the Redskins to be. Like Kyle, Jay wants to pass more than throw. Kyle matured as a play caller in DC. He changed his play calling to fit player strengths.

If I was Gruden and the plan is to keep RG3 as the Quarterback then I would double down in the running game. Trade down in the first round to pick up an additional second rounder. In the first take an OT like Ronnie Stanley or Cedric Ogbuehi. In the 2nd take FS Gerod Holliman or Derron Smith followed by RB Todd Gurley with the additional pick.

Make a free agent pickup of Iupati and Helu to be the third down back. Then I'd run that 2headed monster of Morris and Gurley, use helu in the screen game. Keep the defense honest with DJax spreading the field on the long ball play action. I'd also draft Jeff Heuerman TE from Ohio State in the 4th (soft hands and good blocker).

Fans often act on impulse and that impulse is usually ignorant, idiotic, whatever. Redskins fans in general I find to be dumber than many other NFL fans. Maybe it's a product of just being a poor organization for so many years. And I don't mean they're dumb people. They're just dumb when it comes to the Redskins.

All that said, that's a lot of what being a fan is all about. Fans have the freedom, even the right, to be complete morons with almost zero repercussions. Ownership and the front office doesn't get that privilege

I think the Redskins Organization gives the fans a license to act ignorant, idiotic, etc.

When you speak of impulse, you can easily look at the Redskins FO decision in Snyder tenure and truely see the definition of impulse, knee jerk decisions.

The sports radio and print journalist of DC fans the flames as well. Certainly not innocent in this culture of Redskins fandom.

And I've said many, many times the Redskins FO too often acts like idiot fans. And as I said above, they don't have that privilege.

Your insistence of finding fault with the media at every turn baffles me. But I guess it's your opinion and you're entitled to it

I dont at every turn, but come on SS, they are not absolved. I just said they fan the flames and are insincere in their assumptions and make statments that arent smart for reaction.

So why are Skins fan dumb if they are not dumb people?

Personally I am most dumb as a Skins fan when I desperately hope that there is some light at the end of the tunnel, and so I cling to a person that we've hired/drafted/signed as a savior. I get my hopes up and think positive thoughts which are both foolish and irrational.
