Like many of us long time fans, we remember the glory days, and feel the pain of a decade+ of ridiculous front office moves, revolving coaches, and overpaying for free agents just short of retirement. Every year, I clean the slate clean and have hope. I tell myself "This is the year we turn this around", without any logic behind it. Just blind faith.

I'm feeling different this year. I'm feeling hopeful based on some logic. We have competent front office staff and coaches that just need more time to finishing cleaning house after the years Danny and Vinny destroying this team. This year, we have a chance to go get our franchise quaterback. This year, we have plent of cap room to go out and get the free agents we need to bring this team back to a powerhouse. This is the year of real hope for this team.

Go get RG3. Go get a solid free agent WR like VJax or Bowe. Resign London. His character in the locker room alone is worth what he is asking. Just get it done, because this could be a real season of hope become reality, and the fans deserve it. OK, exiting my soapbox now. LOL

Happy to be joining this great community.

Just don't be selling us your crap or promoting your blog like other posters we've had recently. Otherwise, Good to have you!
