[KI Skins Fan]

So far, some of the solutions proposed here are:

1. Fire Shanny.
2. Fire Kyle.
3. Fire Haslett.
4. Sit RGIII.

To those, I'd say no, no, no, and no.

We're 0-2 and we've played horrible football across the board. I feel your pain. Nevertheless, I'm taking the long view and I still believe that the Skins have the right leadership in place, including Bruce Allen, to become a perennial contender in the near future.

Shanny and Bruce have done a lot of things right since they've been with the Redskins. They have drafted well and they haven't missed on many FA signings. Nevertheless, the team has been set back some by losing high draft picks in the trade that got them RGIII and by the unfair cap penalties imposed upon them by the NFL.

During the last two offseasons, other teams have been able to fill holes in FA that the Skins have not been able to fill due to the cap penalties they have endured. But, after this season, the Skins will also be able to fill some more team needs in FA and, after this draft, they will once again have more 1st Round draft picks. I believe that the Skins will select and sign the right people to get better when they have the opportunities do do so..

This organization did the right thing when they traded for the draft pick that got us RGIII. They desperately needed a Franchise QB. RGIII is now recovering from a serious injury and he's limited because of it but his future is very bright. In effect, due to that injury, this is his rookie year as a drop back passer and he is learning on the job. He must play so he can get better as a drop back passer. Ironically, I'm hoping that his unfortunate injury will ultimately turn out to be a good thing for him and for the team.

I believe that staying the course is the right long term answer. But I am not about to give up on this season after only two games. Let's all remember that the Skins won seven games in a row last seaon. If they did that once, they can do it again.
