Its the same team, the same coaches with a different name. I don't understand why people would abandon ship just because the name changed.

Since you asked ...

First of all, you are right. It is the same organization and in the same place. Loyalties should transfer seamlessly, all things being equal.

But ... there is still the issue of Snyder. I honestly wonder if the franchise will ever flourish under him. The man shows signs of ascending the learning curve and then reverts back to arrogance.

The Redskins- with their traditions and timelessness- kept me interested. Now that will be gone.

Also factor in that there are other ignoble things happening in the NFL and it is against all this that jumping ship becomes tempting.

That is just my pov and I am yet undecided. Ultimately, you are correct.
