I myself always predict high at my wonderful 10-6. Although a lot of fans wanted lineman there were others such as myself who said we needed taller WR's. We got them. Many said don't expect to much from them cause it usually takes 2-3 yrs for a rookie WR to learn how to play in the pros. Which is why I wanted CJ. but I'm happy to have two young WR's for our future.
Many said the lines were to old and the average age was 29. We need youth. younger faster healthier linemen on both sides of the ball.
Many said including myself that it would take atleast 2-3 yrs to learn a new offense. Many of us have been slamming Zorn for his lack of putting the new guys on the field but every once in a while we hear how one of the rookies was supposed to zig and they zagged or basically went the wrong way or to deep or not deep enough. which basically proves Zorn was right when saying the rookies don't have all the plays down. Now the question is who's fault is it. or is there any possible way instead of giving them the whole play book and saying learn it the team could have given them 10 or 20 plays a piece and told them to learn them inside and out. Then inserted them periodically to use those plays.
...again not to be a butthole but all this was said and expected, but for what ever reason our high expectations got the better of us along with the teams success. but there are things I'm not seeing that worry me. ...Like Zorn not adjusting during games or during the season when teams figured out what he was doing and tried to counter it ,successfully I might add. Will Zorn give us more of the same...here's my game plan win lose or draw I'm sticking with it or will he learn to adjust during games?

I don't think there is anything wrong with sharing your perspective. I certainly don't take offense at anyone saying "Hey - isn't this what we've all been saying?"
However, my general impression from reading articles in the mainstream media as well as grooming through threads in this forum was a great deal of negativity and scrutiny of many of the Redskins moves since Gibbs left.
I was just trying to say, "Let's all take a collective breath and put things in perspective," but trying to define why we should put things in perspective and keep some optimism about this team moving into next season.
