Redskins Hatters In The Media

How are the Bengals not a poll option?

Cause we luvv the Bengals

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...

3 Super Bowl rings > 6 Pro Bowls.

Not saying the Redskins don't deserve some of the blame. My beef is that the balance for criticism seems to be off. Winning might solve a lot.

I'll also say that a great deal of what I get pissed at probably comes from former players that know frak all about what they're saying.

dont hatt on Shanny's swagg!!

Man...what a hateful, spiteful article. So much personal angers directed toward the Redskins there

Clearly another negative article about the Redskins. I read the entire thing and the jist of it is:

Blah blah blah

blah blah blah

blah blah blah

Redskins quarterbacks suck.

blah blah blah

blah blah Orakpo Trent Williams

blah blah blah.

/sarcasm, Dan Graziano is easily one of the more level headed analysts as far as the 'Skins are concerned.

It's a "what you have you done for me lately" business. It's been 20 years....

Exactly. Most of us should be happy we've even gotten the chance to experience a Super Bowl win.

That's a pretty fair run-down. I'm still getting used to people referring to us as "young" - over the years that has been a rare adjective to describe us.
