Totally agree. We need to see major improvements on the field in the next 2 or 3 years. My only real argument is that sometimes teams catch lightning in a bottle, but the absence of that doesn't mean we are doomed. I'm not sure that the past 2 seasons for the Redskins equates to them 'doing it wrong' or 'organizational failure'. As fans, we tend to heap 25 years of mostly poor performance on the current regime. If we want to saddle Dan Snyder with it - I think that's fair. But even the hated Bruce Allen doesn't own the vast majority of that time. I like more of what I've seen over the past 4 seasons than I hate.
Kirk Cousins is an organizational failure, and a big one, regardless of what happens beyond now. We have not done 1 thing right with him as a player and that falls on this front office.
Since we won the Super Bowl, we have drafted 4 QBs in the 1st round.
1994 - Heath Shuler
2002 - Patrick Ramsey
2005 - Jason Campbell
2012 - RG3
That is an organizational failure. That falls a lot on Dan, but Bruce has been here since 2009, he's drafted 3 qbs in 9 seasons.
To compound that stat... we have drafted 1 QB since Kirk. Nate Sudfeld, 6th round 2016.
Since New England drafted Tom Brady they have drafted
2002 - Rohan Davey - 4th Round
2003 - Kliff Klingsbury - 6th round
2005 - Matt Cassel - 7th round
2008 - Kevin O'Connell - 3rd round
Bruce Allen takes over as GM for Redskins.
2010 - Zac Robinson - 7th round
2011 - Ryan Mallet - 3rd round
2014 - Jimmy Graps - 2nd round
2016 - Jacoby Brissett - 3rd round
Allen has been the 'GM' for 3 QB selections, 2 of which in the same draft... the Patriots have a guy who is in the convo for the best ever and they've drafted 4 in that same period. They've drafted 8 qbs since Brady has been there, 5 of which have come since we took campbell in 2005. This is a philosophical problem we've had for a long time, and its traveled across multiple GMs, so yes a lot of it has to do with Dan... but it's clear the trend did not get changed when Bruce, or even Scot for that matter were calling the shots. In fact, the only person who was reportedly 'in charge' when we did address the position, was Shanny. Not saying Shanny was the right guy, it was a disaster. This is just an example of the lack of attention to the team on the field...
I like what I've seen over the last 4 years too, but the problem is I'm a keyboard GM and we have no influence on the team winning, just the ability talk about liking what we see. The team needs to be smarter than we are, and they need to start doing things that gets wins... not new training camp facilities.
