But the reality is we keep underachieving, so we will continue to be lumped into those 5 worst teams over the course of the past 20 years. That fact does not get a pass because there appears to some upward turn in the direction of the team over the course of the past 4 years.
Th reality is, one division title in a poor division 3 years ago, then regression over the course of the next 2 seasons, does nothing to excuse the fact that we are linked to the worst 5 or 6 teams in the league over 20 years because our record shows as much.
You like the idea of giving a poor head coach stability because of the former revolving door at the position. OK, so we've had 2 coaches in the past 10 seasons...with Bruce Allen in charge of football operations. Let's contrast that with the previous 10 years under Vinnie Cerrato and the revolving door. Well, Vinnie Cerrato had just as much success as Bruce Allen, in fact a better winning percentage.
I love your optimism, I have had my mind changed over the course of the last 10 years 3 or 4 times when I just didn't want to fall into the same hyped off-season "wins" we apparently had. I simply refuse to do it anymore.
This organization is not a good one. It starts with Dan Snyder and his inability to actually build something, not buy someone else's success and twist it enough to make gains.
Then there is Bruce Allen...whose record, as the GM/VP/whatever you want to call him, is worse than Vinnie friggin Cerrato!
Then there is Jay Gruden who is consistently out coached because he has a limited overall view of football, an exclusively offensive minded coordinator, not a head coach. If his plan doesn't work, then what does he do? He has no ability to adjust and does little to drive the team...he's no leader.
So now we have a new hope...a franchise 1st round QB. And I'm supposed to get excited for this?
We may win 9 this year, provided we don't depend too much on the oft injured players we seem to hold onto longer than any other team would. More than likely we win 7, maybe 8 and next year about this time we're talking about the newest "great" off-season of player who won't be here in 3 years, giving this poor head coach more stability, holding on to a GM/VP who has a dismal record over 10 years.
Why do I hold on? Obsession.
