I've been digesting all that happened, or rather didn't happen, the last couple of weeks.

And, while I've pretty much lost any hope and excitement for next season itself, I'm beginning to think it may very well be for the best on the long run.

Sounds crazy, I know, but hear me out.

I want change. Allen has made some shitty decisions, Jay is not a good leader, Manusky lost a talented defensive locker room... We won't win with these guys.

But, as many said, we need a whole culture change, this organisation has become toxic, no talented coach wants to come here right now.

From a timing standpoint, we're not in position to clean house now. Which good HC would want to come here now, with the QB/cap situation that we're in ? Which good DC would want to come here now, knowing Jay is probably gone next year or the year after that?

Whereas if you wait one season, you'll be in a much better QB/cap situation (either Alex is healthy and playing well, either you cut him post June 1st 2020, taking a 16M cap hit over 3 years and saving 56M over 3 years, net saving of 40M), and most importantly it sends a message that Dan Snyder is not going to fire everybody after 2 seasons anymore.

If we have a good offseason this year, then next year, a good HC can think "Heck, Jay Gruden was allowed 6 seasons, he didn't win a lot, but they gave him a chance. I think I can do better than him with this roster, this defense is young and talented, they've drafted well the past few years, building from the trenches, they have a young stud at RB... I think if I'm given a fair opportunity I could bring this team to the next level."

Next season is going to be deflating and frustrating, but I still think on the long run it's not as bad as it feels right now.
