ZRagone Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Everything the post says is clearly untrue because they have a vendetta against the Redskins because Bruce screwed them out of some interviews. Clearly, instead, we should trust Chris Russell, because he'd clearly have no vendetta and is entirely reliable and has a track record of legitimacy, and would in no way have any reason to be sour towards the organization that just fired him recently. Or you know, both sides are playing the media for their own purposes, and there's likely significant kernels of truth coming from all of them, intermixed with a great big heap of BS from all sides as well.

SkinsPassion4Life Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 So we are to believe that SM wanted to sign Cousins last year, right? How do you explain his allies like Jerry Brewer writing articles criticizing Cousins during the year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scot said when he got hired that it's going to take time to turn this team around. 2 years of draft picks and free agency is not what he meant. Problem is Snyder thinks that this team is a player or 2 away every year. Guess what it's not and you're trying to tell me if the Skins draft a defensive player in the 1st rd last year. That was going to save the the defense. He did spend some of last year's picks on defense. So it's not like it was ignored and Norman was signed another piece. So again I say 2 years isn't long enough. Scot here 2 years. Snyder has been here how long? Pretty sure Scot is not the problem. Did Scot say or not say it would take three years? This team is nowhere near ready to compete in year three with that defense.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinsMayne Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 The longer this lingers the more likely that there is a serious cluster **** going on. I was hoping it was fake news, but... nothing the redskins have done has persuaded me otherwise. Looks like we are going to loose our GM, QB, Top Receivers, and goodwill this offseason. ... ****.

I think the majority of us were just happy the we FORCED Snyder to hire a real football guy. It wasnt so much the it was Scott as it was a real talent evaluator. Just my opinion though.

This team is nowhere near ready to compete in year three with that defense.. Again, this is just not true. We won the division last year. We had MULTIPLE opportunities to make it to the playoffs this year. This, despite the bad defense. This off season we had 10 picks in the draft and a crap ton of cap space. It has been shown before, including just last year IN OUR OWN DIVISION, that a solid draft/free agency can turn a historically bad defense into a contending defense. And considering we have been in playoff contention for two straight years...which, by definition, is basically the first steps of "competing" for a title....yes, yes the team absolutely WAS near ready to compete going into this third off season. However, how that goes now if all this apparent turmoil turns out to be legitimate, is a huge question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This franchise will always be a moneymaker for Napoleon and trying to build a winning team involves him checking his own ego by letting someone else take full control of his lego set and steady check.

Burgundy Yoda Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I just find it odd how these writers have had all this information for all this time and write about it now. That doesn't seem strange to anybody else? They would have gotten a ridiculous amount of clicks had they come out with this earlier, because everything was believed to be all in order, then they could have dropped the bombshell. Everything just seems spiteful right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskins59 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Bruce Allen is fine. McCloughan made mistakes last year. The 2014 draft when Allen was the GM was damn good. People love to claim that Allen was bad with Tampa, but they forget that the team's owner was busy building a stadium for Manchester United. As a result, Bruce Allen was financially constrained. And I feel that he did a damn fine job even though the owner constrained him, as the team was not horrible. The 2014 draft where Bruce Allen was in full control proves it to me. Bruce wasn't happy about drafting Doctson. Can't say I blame him for that. Bruce Allen is the type of guy who lets his scouts do their job. He is like a CEO.

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 IF this turns out to be legit? This article doesn't get written right here today with these nuggets based on stuff they made up and wish was true. I'm not stating it's all facts but how you can read this and immediately go backing Bruce and the Redskins as if this is some conspiracy by Jones and Clarke is just mind boggling.

Dirt Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 So I'm supposed to believe that Scot was stomping his feet and fussing about Cooleys comments and thats why he's not at the facility. Ok. And now we're googling unflattering pictures of him (from whatever time) to determine whether or not he looks like an alcoholic. Yall have freakin lost it.

You sir have no clue. You can get a playmaker in any round of the draft. Antonio Brown was a 6th rounder, Brady was too, i can give you hundreds of examples.

Going to the playoffs is competing in the NFL in my opinion maybe I'm wrong but that's better than top 10 pick. We'll revisit this after this year. Allen and Snyder making all the decisions. You'll get your top 10 pick again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a decent talent evaluator who can involve Dan and make Dan believe that he is participating in making the main decisions. Will never work otherwise long term.

We have a good scouting department. It is always good to have as many scouting types as possible, so if we fire Scot Mccloughan, we need to hire another scouting type. The Kirk saga is not over. Talk to me when he gets traded or is not playing for our team. Bruce is a value guy. People like that tend to see success. Warren Buffet is a value guy. Value works in everything.
