Stubblefield at least got us a 1st and 3rd since he was a RFA and Carolina really wanted him for some reason. I think that's where we got the 2nd or 3rd for Samuels/Arrington. It went poorly and ended up great for us. The Dan ones just sucked so sucking hard. I think you're thinking of Sean Gilbert? 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funniest part is--it was two firsts because God told him to hold out an entire season, then subsequently traded with NO for their entire draft, drafted Champ Bailey and Jon Jansen (and not much else)...and STILL didn't win anything. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought that having a hell of a scouting department is more important than having great GM/HC. Not that both aren't importants, but that makes their respective jobs way easier. That's a department where we've been seriously lacking and where Dan being cheap shows heavily. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's an alternate universe I truly wouldn't mind living in. But you forget that nothing comes free. Yes, we'd gain all that but we'd sacrifice the damn good culture we have, the incredible new team name/branding and soon....the best darn mascot in the entire Niffle! No way in hell JKC could have matched any of that. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snyder is like the kid who buys a 1989 Honda Civic, puts new rims, a flashy painjob, new seats, big spoiler, and a loud sound system, but does nothing to the engine, suspension, transmission, etc. It's just a flashy piece of ****. 2 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to be sure, this franchise was a major "fixer-upper" when Snyder took over so I couldn't think of a more apt simile than this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Sean Gilbert was good here. Traded a first to bring him in, got a great season out of the guy, then got two first round picks for him from Carolina. One of the last few times we ever came out ahead on a deal… 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Est.1974 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Right, this thread needs to get some serious traction now. New owner, front office and coaching staff overhaul, QB. Quite the task ahead. All starts with getting Snyder out as soon as practically possible. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoVaSkins21 Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 The approval process, whatever it takes can't get here fast enough. I don't care if it's February or March.

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 I didn’t expect the bottom to fall out like this, which is why I’ve always thought Ron gets a year to steward the team while new ownership figure things out. At this point though, it’s hard to defend Ron about much of anything aside from culture change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there will be life after Dan. This rebrand makes no sense. The mascot doesn't tie in with the name, the colors don't make a lick of sense with the name. The uniforms are beyond abysmal, as is the cheap orange/yellow electrical tape placed on the helmet. For what the new owner will be paying for the team (a historic amount), I find it very, very hard to believe the NFL wouldn't allow him/her to rebrand. And that's gonna set off a HUGE chain reaction for what franchises are worth. The sale of the Ravens will eclipse the sale of the Redskins more than likely. So the costs incurred by the NFL for rebranding and merchandise, etc., are nothing in the ocean of green they are about to make. The new owner will be reviving one of the most lucrative franchises in all of sports. Rebranding costs are nothing, especially since the majority of the fanbase doesn't like the nam Now, I'm not getting my hopes up on the rebranding. I'm prepared for the worst. However, at a bare MINIMUM, the new owner must burn the uniforms and logo and come up with something from scratch immediately. It's embarrassing as hell. I'll personally never call them the Commanders. Ever. They're the Redskins to me until a decent name is picked. Doesn't have to be one of my favorites, but it's gotta be a legit decent name that the majority of the fans can get behind. Hell, the NFL OWES the fans that much after allowing this monster to desecrate our organization and fanbase for as long as he has. What color should be associated with a commander? Why can't a commander be in a shade of red and yellow? The most famous mascots have nothing to do with a team name. The San Diego Chicken, the Philly Phanatic, Gritty. And the Washington Nationals have an Eagle as a mascot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
