Look at it from another angle folks. We all know the Redskins reputation. We have always won the offseason battle with free agents. We have always paid top dollar, the word in the league was if you wanted the money go to Washington, they always pay the most.
Doesn't anyone remember what that got us? nothing. And we longed for a change in that philosophy. We longed for a change in the owner meddling. We longed for a competent GM. Well.......we got all that, Dan stepped back, they tried the GM and he blew it, they stopped paying ridiculous contracts. And now we want to bury the front office.
We won the offseason by letting guys like Brad Johnson, Ryan Clark and Antonio Pierce go and then signing guys like Jeff George, Adam Archuletta and Jeremiah Trotter. And you're right. That got us nothing. Not signing our own guys and bringing in someone else's garbage got us nothing.
The competent GM actually did work while he was here. Now that he's gone, business as usual at Redskin park. Our own talent is leaving. Not only leaving, but being alienated and driven out of town.
I don't get it. You got what you asked for and still want to bitch about it. Kirk showed his ars, plain and simple. He ain't that good. We can move on and I suspect Gruden will have a short leash cause guess what? Kirk has to show me and shut the f up. He's one and done so we'll see how the lockerroom plays out now. That's the only mystery left.
Kirk showed us his arse? Really? That's hilarious, especially in light of Bruce Allen's "Hey, it's not our fault" statement with the whole goddam season ahead of us to play. Are you effing KIDDING me? Bruce, is it EVER the team's fault? How many times are the Washington Dan Snyder's going to spend a ton on a QB, chew him up, spit him out, and then blame the poor bastard for not being a team player. It happens every. single. time.
If anyone is showing his posterior, it's the team to us fans. It's embarrassing. The rest of the world can see it, and Redskin fans continue to defend these asshats.
I'm willing to give management the benefit of the doubt, and at least we aren't changing head coaches like a turnstile. We asked for that too, and now we have it. Be happy fellow Redskins fans, its only football, and we simply don't do business like we used to. I'm grateful for that.
I am absolutely, positively, not ever ever ever going to give this front office the benefit of the doubt, ever. Ever ever ever. They have earned absolutely nothing over the past 17 years. Scott McLoughan bought some, but he's not here. Bruce Allen and Dan Snyder get none.
Gruden is entering Year Four of his tenure here. Hallowed ground reserved for Joe Gibbs and Mike Shanahan. Call me if makes it to Year Five. There's no McLoughan buffer between the him and Allen/Snyder anymore. He's got a QB the front office just threw under the bus, no running game, no defense, and a gutted WR corps. But hey, at least we're under the cap. Someone give Bruce Allen a cookie.
