Not much optimism I see.

Swarley · 09-09-2009, 05:27 PM

and if anyone is positive they are: "smoking from the Ashburn Larry pipe. There is no way that the Redskins win 10 games. The Redskins are mired in mediocrity thanks to the Snyder regime. 7-9 wins at best, but more likely 6 wins."

cause apparently when it comes to predictions and the Redskins only the pessimistic opinions are the right ones.

MTK · 09-09-2009, 05:42 PM

Guess I'm smoking the pipe too.

So who predicted that the Falcons would go to the playoffs last year?

Predictions...bah, humbug.

I'm surprised to see so many people think Campbell won't be back in '10. Snyder's money is burning a hole in his pocket to spend on a franchise QB. I think a nice chemistry is going to build with JC, Moss, Kelly and Cooley, enough so for a nice mid level 3 year extension. His chances to come back are probably 70-30.

The other factor is viable options. This is not a team that can draft a rookie QB and let him develop. The top NFL ready options next offseason via trade are probably Tavaris Jackson, Kellen Clemens, Derek Anderson or Tyler Thigpen. The top options in FA are Kyle Boller, Josh McCown and Sage Rosenfels. The reality is none of them is an upgrade from the JC we see today, even with no 2009 improvements.

To me, Zorn has less than a 50% chance of returning with 9 wins or less. There's too much temptation for Snyder and with a glimmer from the offense he's going to see an inferno if he can bring in a Shanahan or Gruden who is not going to change the offense, but enhance it. Zorn's got to win 10 to return. FWIW, I'm calling 10-6 but won't be surprised if there's a press conference in Ashburn next February.

The same people who predicted Arizona going to the Super Bowl. NOBODY.

My "Redskins will win 11 games" limb is getting very chilly amongst the Redskin Blogging bretheren.

Even my statistics don't like me anymore.

What percentage would you assign to each of the following return next season?

Cerrato (in his current capacity), Zorn, Campbell
Cerrato and Zorn
Cerrato and Campbell
Zorn and Campbell
Cerrato only
Zorn only
Campbell only

Absolute percentages or zero-sums?

In other words, can "Cerrato and Zorn" and "Campbell Only" add up to something that isn't 100%?

Not sure if that was a serious query or sarcastic but I'll play along anyways. Assuming 9 wins (because anything less to me means a complete housecleaning of coaches) as the benchmark, and taking each scenario out of 100% here goes..

Cerrato (in his current capacity), Zorn, Campbell - 20%
Cerrato and Zorn - 15%
Cerrato and Campbell - 60%
Zorn and Campbell - 30%
Cerrato only - 100% (he's back regardless)
Zorn only - 0%
Campbell only - 60%
