Why we need to rout for 2-14

[Ruhskins]

I'll be rooting for this thread to be locked up.

So am I getting this right that I see most everyone would rather the Skins win a couple of games to cover Vinny and keep the structure as-is?

We don't know what will happen w/the CBA, uncapped year, etc. Regardless, I think the nfl salary cap & draft structure gives teams an incentive to play well so that they DON'T get the #1 pick. That pick costs a lot of $ & can screw a team if the player doesn't pan out. It's much better to be in the latter half of the top 10 where there are stars for the taking & they cost less. Plus they have less pressure on them.

Vinny might be on his way out anyway or vice versa he might never get fired.

But Freddy - I don't think this team as currently constructed is ony one draft away. Realistically we are several drafts away from turning the corner.On offense outside of Cooley are there any players that are long term solutions? On defense we have some talent but enought to offset the other side.

I doubt even one person on this board wants Vinny to stay. But most fans will not root against their team. period. If DS doesn't know by now that VC and this whole team needs to be blown up and started with a different pattern of behaviour then winning one, two, or even 6 more games is not going to change his mind.

What you should be seeing in response to your thread title, is that no fan should ever root for their team to lose. ever.

Well, how ever we´ll end, 2-14, 3-13, 4-12 (don´t think we have chances ending better) would you prefer using the high pick we get or maybe trade the high 1st rounder for a late 1st and a 2nd?

CRedskins - I don't have another team I am rooting for - I love the Redskins and have been a fan for my entire life - it pains me to see them lose like this and become the laughinstock of the NFL - I just think Synder is so stuck on his way and his system that the only way things can get changed is for the worst possible thing to occur.

I would prefer a trade down but as many have pointed out it takes 2 to tango and many teams want to avoid the high salaries of the top picks - the only exception to this for me would be if Russell Okung is availble the Redskins must take him with that first pick.

I'm pretty sure that for Snyder, the worst has occurred already.

There is no demonstrable evidence that at 2-14 Vinny will be fired but at 7-9 he won't. Therefore I disagree with the premise of this thread.

And never, ever, ever can I root against the Skins.

Lol at sub-literate Vikings fans getting banned for being jerks.

[duetsch215]

what's the point in having a team if you want them to lose....even if it is for the best, it's no ethical

[CultBrennan59]

We need to root for going 2-14 for two reasons.

1) So we get a ridiculously good draft pick, Bradford, Okung, Locker, Whoever
2) So we can show Snyder that the Front Office structure he has going on sucks and needs to be changed.

I gave up on this team for THIS YEAR, as soon as we lost to detroit, people were giving me crap saying it was to early, while I sort of agree, I knew we just wouldn't be good, and now I'm glad other people are doing what I did weeks ago and just say seasons over, lets suck the rest of the year and start from scratch and continue to next year with a positive "wanting the redskins to win" attitude.
