I'm as psyched as anyone that the team is finally going to rebuild, and don't kid yourselves, this is a rebuild. The team is putting the old horses out to pasture, and shipping out the problem children like DMac, Clinton, and Albert. So I'm happy.
The only problem is, my guts are telling me the Redskins aren't going to be good this year, as in they could be worse than last year. Nearly half of the starters will be new, and many of them are young, somewhat inexperienced players. On top of that, we have a much shortened off-season due to the lock out. Free agents that normally would have been here months ago have to learn the systems, find a place to live, ect ect in a very short period of time. Oh and I almost forgot our QB is 29 and has only played in 5 games back in 2007, and he lost all of those.
If Philly is the new Dream Team, it's possible that the Redskins could be the Bad Dream Team this season. For a year I've been saying I could deal with a year or 2 of serious losing to get a total rebuild from the ground up. Something tells me I'm going to get that opportunity.
At this point i'm just hoping for a young, spirited team that plays hard and gets better as the season goes on. am I setting my expectations to low? Someone convince me this team will win more than 6 games.
