Colin Cowherd: Skins fans worst in the NFC East

[freddyg12]

If anything, CC might want to take a look at polls here & on wash post. In both cases, Cutler & Sanchez, the fans voted no. It was 63% or so against cutler & 87% against M.Sanch. & that last one was w/3,500 + votes!

What I take from those polls & from the multitudes of posters here, is that the hardcore Skins fan is very tired of the spend big, pay later, & trade picks only to be mediocre, approach that DS has taken for most of his ownership. Any year this team can make the playoffs w/some good fortune, but it certainly isn't a consistent winner, and the fans are not buying the Danny's big moves any more IMO.

By & large I think we now have a fan base that's as close to being disgruntled & mutinous as ever!

We attempt to trade for Jay Cutler

We wine and dine Mark Sanchez this weekend w/ VC, DS, JZ and the qb coach

That is dumb IMO...either Campbell is your man, or he isn't...make up your mind. I would LOVE to assume this was a motivational tool to "light a fire" under Campbell, but I think the FO doesn't believe in Campbell.

CC in comparison sais that Cowboys fans are better b/c they know Jerry Jones is crazy. He also continues by saying that you don’t hear any other NFC East Team doing this to their QB.

Cowboys fans are OK cause they "know JJ is crazy", but we skins fans don't know Snyder is glorified fantasy football player??? HUH? We know what we have in Snyder.
The other NFC east teams don't do this to their QB's? Ummm what? (slingin sammy touched on this) The Giants had a major issue with Eli until they won the SB, and they were 1 hair away from firing coughlin! They were ready to run both of them out of town! The eagles have had issues with a future hall of famer QB in McNabb. How many times have they talked about trading him, or rumored to trade. Even Reid was on the hot seat at one time. Also, I don't know how many of you actually talk to every day Dallas fans, but I have heard A TON of them talk bad about Romo. He is either really liked, or really hated, there is no in between. How can Dallas fans be so fickle about their pro bowl QB? Sorry, I think the other NFC East teams are worse, they just had more success, and that curbs ANYTHING! I do not think there is anything wrong with Skins fans being unwilling to accept mediocrity. If Cowherd is going to say anything he should talk about our patience factor, that's it.

So are we almost there, just a couple players away, from perennial success? Yes or no.

We need consistancy in the coaching staff...enough with the revolving door already, set something in place, and let the bad happen...the good will come. We need to stop thinking ALL our answers rely in FA! Build the team from the bottom up. We had pretty good chemistry last year considering all the changes that took place, and this year we only added 1 real outsider. (Hall was already here, and Dockery was here too). We have peices in place to be successful now (although a couple holes do need filling), we just need to be consistant. Problem is, the team is a little old, in particular on the OL. So we are NOT set up for perennial success, but we can be if we just exercise some patience.

Why are we so stuck on the FO not being allowed to enter thoughts of another QB. Who cares if they are in trade discussion or tryout a player? JC while a young and improving qb does not command that type of respect. So when he finishes up next year will he only listen to redskin contract offers??? Thats a trick question btw cuz he wont get any other starting offers.

You just don't shatter a young QB's confidence by shopping him to anyone that will listen like that and on the other side of your mouth tell him he's the man to lead the team. It's one or the other. If all they are doing is "entering thoughts of another QB", then tell JC that. He does indeed DESERVE enough respect to be told "hey kid, you didn't perform well enough to ensure your starting position here next year". I don't have a problem with the Skins looking for a replacement if thats what they feel they need to do, but at the least, be honest with Campbell about it.

Do you really think he didnt know this going into the offseason??? JC and his agent are smart enough to know hes not rock solid number 1 future qb in the FO's mind. They had meetings together recently so its not like JC is oblivious to whats going on.

You certainly have a point in that we never know what goes on behind closed doors...we don't always get the 100% accurate truth. Still, it was reported that Zorn brought in Campbell and told him he was his guy. That's pretty cut and dry don't you think?

Eagles' fans comments following Sean Taylor's death should leave no doubt that they have the worst fans

Yeah, no kidding. And while we're talking about JC getting jerked around, McNabb has been jerked around pretty well, too.

Hell wasn't it a Philly fan that said McNabb wasn't playing "black" enough.

Call me an idiot cause...

I do think that we are 2 - 3 players away from being perennial playoff contenders, thus, Super Bowl contenders. One team leader and 2 more solid playmakers. (Whether or not JC is that leader is yet to be determined)

Sorry, but all the DS bashing in the world won't make the leats bit of difference. He owns the team, he's not selling, get over it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quality QB play, shore up RT, and if Thomas/Kelly pan out, sure why not?

Crazier things have happened.

Damn you beat me to it. Kinda nice that 2 out of the 3 could already be on the roster.

I'm sure not going to call you an idiot for your comments. I agree that we are close to being really good soon, and for the reasons Mattyk mentioned: raised play at RT, QB, and no-longer-rookie WR.

It's the "perennial" part that gets me. We are old in the tooth in so many places and several folks could retire or lose a step over the next couple of years. I think it will take some time to get younger to meet the "perennial" mark.

just my limited opinion...

[skinsfan_nn]

Cowtird...who gives two shits! He's a tard.

My answer to go along with this thread would be YES!

But who knows and since my magic ball is broke and out for service at this time. I guess we will know in December/January how close we are, won't we....
