The Redskins' Football Fantasies
There is virtually nothing I can add to Steve Largent's take on the Redskins' woes:
The formula that the Redskin owner and the Redskin general manager have for producing a winner on the field is not a winning formula, meaning that they can't make all the decisions on the coaches and on the personnel and then hire some guy off the street to be the head coach and win with what they put on the field, because it doesn't work. And that has been proven for 10 years in a row. ... So the failure of the Redskins is not about Jim Zorn. The failure of the Redskins starts above him, above his level.
As for the Redskins' new offensive consultant handling the play calling, Largent says this: "To think that you can bring a guy in from a retirement center, who is pulling out ping-pong balls in the Bingo games -- and literally, that's what he was doing in Detroit -- bring him down here for two weeks and say, 'You are going to call the plays for the next game against the Philadelphia Eagles, a division opponent, on Monday Night Football,' and think that that's going to be successful, that's a joke. That is really a joke."
This what happens when you don't understand that you are not supposed to be putting together a fantasy football team but a real one.

SLToddard: Typical of a northeastern leftist jackass, an inane and irrelevant comment. How exactly is Brady going to help the Snyderskins? Or do you just like the way he looks on magazine covers and can't help but blurt it out?
Reality: no QB is safe behind the Skins' woeful O-line, and no QB is nervous facing down an overpaid and overrated D-line. Snyder has done a fine job making money (for which I do not begrudge him), but a pathetic job putting a decent football product on the field. Eventually (not soon enough) the formerly loyal Redskin nation will cease subsidizing failure. And when the rate of cash flow subsides, so will little Danny's interest in keeping the team. Only then will there be the necessary sale, housecleaning, and reason to hope the franchise will recover.

I won't try to pretend that JimZorn has done a great job as Redskins' head coach, but let's remember that he's NOT doing the job he was hired to do! He was hired to be the offensive coordinator, and then bumped up to the head coaching spot without ever getting a chance to show what he could do as offensive coordinator.
He may have been in over his head, but that's not his fault! He was pushed into a job he didn't seek and may not have been ready for.
