Trouble in Redskins Park?

Allen has overseen a ton of terrible drafts already. They goofed things up with the Qb, who would be signed under market value right now. It does take two though, Snyder is always the larger problem.

One constant in the mix since 2000 and that is
Snyder. If Snyder wants a toadie, he will get a toadie. Blaming the toadie is exactly why
Snyder keeps them around. When
I say give Allen till the end of next season,
I am talking about whether or not getting rid of
Scot was a disaster. You guys are total masochists anyway.

If you are saying we are doomed because Snyder is in charge, I agree. There is no hope. However, I will still be here, bitching and moaning, because if I left I'd have to fill a void that's been in my life for over a decade. I don't want to do that.

This is unfair. We do not know if KC would have signed an extension. This is all speculation.

Pretty accurate speculation, are you trying to tell me if they never franchised Kirk and signed him before the 2016 season to a long term deal he would not have been under contract for less than $24 mil a year which is probably his current market rate?

You make it sound as if Cousins has to sign a contract offered to him. What makes you think he wouldn't have bet on himself? I think he's right, there's no way to know whether Cousins would have taken it.

If Snyder is such a meddler, should we attribute to him the back-to-back winning seasons?

Aside from the McCloughan fiasco, can someone tell me what has happened that is so horrible with the team that we are cursed to go 1-15 next year?

I'm not a Snyder or Allen apologist, but all this criticism makes it sound that we are still the perennial losers from before, despite the record from the past two years.

Also, it seems that no one wants to give Gruden any type of credit for the success of the team or how important it is that we finally seem to have some stability at the head coach position.

For once i swear that i'm not trying to be Debbie Downer, but i think a lot has happened in one offseason that COULD be negative that will affect our record.

#1 you have the major question at QB. Cousins is our man for 2017, or is he? Does he get traded, or does he play out the year as a lame-duck QB if no deal can be reached before July 15? If he gets traded, how many wins can we realistically expect out of Colt McCoy?

#2 The loss of Jackson and Garcon as weapons didn't help anything. I don't know tons about Terrell Pryor. Can he be a legitimate #1 threat at WR?

#3 - There will again be questions about our defense. I am going on a limb and saying that our defense MUST be ranked at least statistically average for us to have a shot in the close games that we lost last year. It isn't realistic again for our offense to have to score above 30 points every week just to give us a chance at winning.

#4 - Positive thing here: I think the Gruden extension does help all of us. My question is if it is a true two year extension or is there contract language to help us get out if we tank this season....

I'm hoping for the best this year like all of us. I think worst case scenario we go 6-10. I do beleive the squad as it is currently assembled is good enough to have that be our worst case scenario. I think best case this year might be 10-6, maybe greater if we have some good luck and things go our way.

With the change in defensive staff I think we are highly likely to be improved on defense. Having real safeties will help too, and I still think Galette makes a difference.

I am sure we agree that the market and the last franchise tag sets Kirk's yearly value around $24 mil. Are you trying to tell me if someone put a 5 year $100 mil contract with $40 mil guaranteed in front of Kirk before the 2016 season and 9,000 passing yards ago he would not have signed it? Or maybe for a little higher? That would have been quite more than the rumor mill said the Redskins offered that Kirk turned down. I don't think you can argue that the Redskins gambled and lost tagging Kirk two years in a row. They would be lucky to get him for $24 mil a year now on a long term deal.
