I think you can say Sam Howell has been in the top 10 this season

Why in the world would you just dump him? It makes no sense. Not saying you guys I'm saying a new GM

A new regime wouldn't dump Howell, but having Howell in the roster will definitely not prevent the new GM from drafting a QB.

Also, the assumption that I'm going with is that the new regime will do a better job at evaluating talent. This means that:

- They will do a better job at filling roster needs through free agency and mid/low draft picks.

- They would do a better job at evaluating a prospective first/high round QB pick.

Some of you talk like we are going to have the same flawed decision makers with the team next year, and that makes no sense.

Yup. Snyder is gone. It is an attractive organization again. It is crazy how people are acting like the world is ending because of this season. We knew going into this season that nothing was changing except for the name plate on the owners desk. If you are not giddy about next year than you are completely underestimating the shit stain that was Dan Snyder.

C'mon, man! Punch, you know that nobody here is underestimating how poor an NFL owner Dan Snyder was. In fact, he was so bad that he's left a residual, if irrational, fear of "What in the world comes next?" in the minds of Washington fans everywhere. We need time to heal.

Snyder to all Redskins fans:

Really the culprit the last few years has been Ron more so than Dan. I guess Dan gave him the job as long as Ron played along and gave Haskins a chance. That to me is really what set us back more than anything the last several years.

The organization is trending up with DS gone, but literally every position group outside of DT needs an upgrade. We'll have a lot of cap space and a few more draft picks than normal, but I'm tempering my expectations that there will be some glorious turnaround in one year.

A playoff birth is probably the ceiling for 2024 with (likely) a last place schedule on the horizon - IF Sam continues to progress, the O-line is fixed, the defense is fixed, and we hit on some draft picks.

The fact is, it will be new front office, new scouts, new coaches, new schemes, a bunch of new players... that's a lot to put together and expect much. Can it be done? Sure. I'm just not holding my breath for next year's team to be markedly better than this year's team.

IF they are able to hit on GM, HC, DC/OC, free agency, and the draft - then I think 2025 is where the leap will occur.

We really fucked ourselves going defense in the first round of 5 out of the last 6 drafts. 2 players already gone, Forbes having an rough rookie year, Allen/Payne going quiet this year and Jamin Davis looking more unremarkable by the week. Who knows how many years we set ourselves back with that stretch. Next coach has a tough task rebuilding this roster.

I'll gladly take a playoff appearance if it's an over .500 record appearance. Not the kind Rivera backed into a few years ago.

Give us playoffs and a punchers chance. HUGE upgrade over our normal dog-ass seasons.

If we win 10 games in 2024, that's a big success, because like you said, we have a lot of holes. But with money, extra picks, and some general competence, it's not out of the realm of possibilities.

Definitely not out of the realm of possibilities, just have to hit on several things and get a little lucky along the way.

Outside of the top 5ish teams, I think this is true for pretty much everyone. They're all professionals, winning 10 games ain't easy.
