Shanahan and Allen: The Politics of the Possible

Posted 07-05-10 at 05:51 PM by BG Overdrive

CSN's Rich Tandler posted a column this week about the Redskins once again being among the oldest rosters in the NFL, right ahead of the Saints and Vikings (not bad company to be in, eh?).

Some critics might question why a new coach and GM are not tearing the team down to an even more basic level and building over again with the likes of Jimmy Claussen at QB and UDFA running backs and linemen.

What Shanahan and Allen bring to the Redskins for the first time in 20 plus...

Well Om, you're narrowing the parameters considerably. If you are arguing that 3-4 years of franchise QB play makes a team so automatically successful that no model is needed, then why are we trading for a QB that will play for 3-4 years on the OUTSIDE? For the record, I happen to agree with you that an elite QB makes everything much easier, and as such I was tempted to include teams that found a QB through the draft since they shouldn't be excluded for doing what they should be doing: finding talent...

We see these kinds of articles every year and while it’s nice that the guys and all sitting around the camp fire singing kumbaya, it really is meaningless in evaluating the state of our team. Given the number of disappointments we have endured over the last 18 years, I can’t bring myself to be optimistic based upon statements made in the offseason. At this point, I am less concerned with winning and would settle for simply not being bored.
