I don't have a problem with Allen being on the hot seat for the team's record, he's the final decision guy and now that all the issues have been dealt with, I think it is reasonable for Snyder to expect better results out of Allen and Gruden.
That being said, people need to stop acting like we are the Jets or the Browns. We have room for improvement, but things are okay and could potentially improve IMO.
People also need to get over Cousins, it was not going to work out, and it's not JUST the teams' fault. We definitely would have been SOL if we had given him $84 million guaranteed.
I also don't mind the way the team functions now, in case people have forgotten we no longer:
- Have our owner meddle with the team and make stupid decisions.
- Sign over the hill players for a ton of money based on past exploits (Bruce Smith, Jason Taylor, Deion, etc., etc.).
- Make stupid knee-jerk trade decisions (remember the TJ Duckett trade?)
- Continue to carry a ton of dead money for previous bad contracts.
- Always having cap room issues because of said bad contracts.
- Having nobodies like Danny Wuerfell or Shane Matthews as our QBs.
Now, I'm not saying that the FO or Allen's tenure has been perfect. They've made mistakes and could use improvement like any other team. But, people need to act like it is the end of the world. And if they the team drops a turd this season, then yes, some people will need to get fired (I'd be fine with Eric Schaeffer as the GM).
Finally, I don't believe anything that Chris Russell or Jason Reid say about the Redskins. They are as believable as Mike Florio or Jason LaCanfora and their TMZ-like reports.
