So what are the chances the Redskins will win a Super Bowl before the CBA runs out in 10 years?

[21MadFan]

I posted this question in the Twitter thread but figured I would post a new thread as well.

[aREDSKIN]

Well if the last 10 years are any indication.......I'd keep the money.

[tshile]

I think it depends on the level the owner and fans have patience

after one year a surprising large portion of fans want the shanahans out of here already.

which is funny given how many of them have ridiculed the owner for knee jerk reactions, and not trying to stick to a long term plan

[SkinsHokieFan]

It really depends how we treat the rest of this offseason and if we get our QB next year

[Wrong Direction]

An average franchise has about a 3% chance each year. Not many average franchises win championships.

Call me when the Skins are average again. I'll save my money, for now.

[ds1001]

i'd say it is slim, but it depends on how the next few drafts pan out for them

[Goingforburgundy]

I stake my claim on the 2015-2017 range when our QB of the future (next years top 5 pick) has 3-5 years in the system

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

The direction we're currently heading under this regime ..... cautiously optimistic.

I honestly believe that by the end of his initial 5 year deal (Shanahan's), we'll be a play-off challenging team again built the right way with quality youth developing together. And once you get into the dance, ANYTHING can happen.

I'm real optimistic for the first time in years on my team going forward. But add a 'cautiously' in front of that as regards a 4th Lombardi within the next decade. Lot of other good teams already established out there all wanting the same thing.

Hail.

Low probability that the next decade comes and goes with us only winning one Super Bowl. I'd put your money on three to four.

[USS Redskins]

I know two things for sure... Shanny wont be the coach and Beck wont be the QB.

The Skins dont even have a player qualified to be a pro NFL QB... and you realy kind of need a good QB to win a superbowl in this league. The Skins dont even have a mediocre or average QB on the roster.

[DC9]

Coach Mike London and Quarterback Landry Jones will win at least two Super Bowls for your Washington Redskins going into the 2020's.

[MattFancy]

I can see us getting 1. If we stick with this current plan and Snyder gives Shanahan time, we could have a very good foundation in place.

[Audible_Red40]

I am pretty sure 10 is a safe answer.

[jfriedenthal]

about a one in 3 chance... roughly....

What foundation are you talking about? We are still worlds behind everyone in our division when it comes to offensive skilled players.

The Virginia HC? I think this may qualify as 'the most out there prediction for many a year' post.

Each to their own, but I'd totally dispute that.

Only Dallas with Witten could lay a claim on the TE's. And going forward as a group I'd take our core of wide outs and backs against any of the divisional rivals. QB's obviously a whole other story, but that will come in time.

I don't think we're too bad...but you'd really take our RB/WR corps over Philly's?

Yes I'll have whatever he's smoking.

[LetThePointsSoar]

Should set it up as a poll with each options as 0-10%, 10-20%, etc. I'd go with 40% range....nice to see now that Free Agency is about to start the droves of naysayers seem to be coming back in full force.

Hail.

[GaryGreenMonk]

math wrong.. hahaa.. it's just 1 in 32 mathmatically.

[Chase M]

32 Teams/10 years (chances) - 7-8 drop off teams+2 sleepers=2.6%

HTTR!

You have to be the biggest Redskins homer to suggest that our offense matches up against anybody in our division.

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

Honestly, save for McCoy, I wouldn't want anyone from the Eagles group over what we have. Granted, a lot of that is just potential in our case with some very talented, if unproven at this level kids. But the Eagles have nothing on their roster that I'd take over that potential apart from the aforementioned McCoy.

I didn't say that. As we stand, with no competent pro QB (the unproven Beck not withstanding) and a boneheaded OC who left more questions than answers going forward after year one, not to mention the current state of the line prior to FA; our O is a mess.

But pound for pound, in the skill positions outside of QB, all be it quality potential as mentioned above; we stack up to all the divisional rivals IMHO.

Hail.

*Edit* But thanks for the 'homer' line. I've never had that said to me before on here. I'll take it over the 'hater' bunkem that's been thrown my way over the years for daring to question this organization.

I'm impressed with their young skill players, so I would love for your assessment to be right. I don't know much about the young guys we have (though I have an irrational love of Terrence Austin), so I can't comment. The obvious advantage I noticed with Philly is that their guys have all done it (whatever "it" is) in the NFL.

I don't know. In the first year in a new offensive system, there were flashes where the team shined. Now of course there were times where it was rough, but you would expect that from a team in the first year of a new offense.

As for the question of the thread, I say it is 50-50. We have seen the NFC East revolve at the top. We ran the 80's, Cowboys had the 90's, Eagles the 00s', with the Giants winning a Super Bowl in each decade. The way it is looking, I am optimistic that Shanahan will get this thing on the right track. The next six months are very important.
