I mean I don't know how much clearer I can be that Saunders, in my opinion, earned the right to get at least one more year here. And whether he's comfortable or not now, I have no doubt Campbell is fully capable of eventually mastering the offense.
But we can sit here and bitch about it and have post after post of how stupid it all is, or try to make some sense out of it. Much to the disbelief of many of you, Redskins Park isn't filled with mindless idiots who put no thought or consideration into anything.

It has been said that many within the organization were just not satisfied with Al's offense, and even if Gibbs had decided to return, Al's situation still could have been in jepordy. There were many here on this board who thought when Gibbs brought Al aboard, it was not a good idea. Watching the team not being able to score in the second half against the Giants after leading 17-3 at the half, and then loosing four games in a row because the offense apeared so dysfunctional didn't sit so well at Redskin Park.
That, coupled with all the other close losses due to ineffective offense, obviously they felt perhaps a change was needed. There certainly were times during the course of the season when I wasn't satisfied with the offense either.
