The fact that you've been a proponent of not just one, but pretty much all ideas that do this makes it plain as day to me that you are less concerned about the success of this team the next two years than you are that we go at it with someone else than Campbell.
Basically once you perceive the VERY WORST POSSIBLE OUTCOME FOR ALL THINGS CAMPBELL'S FUTURE, your position becomes defensable. And by the same token, you've pretty much wished the worst on the team you choose to root for. I can't understand how you and your buddies can sit around pontificating about how much better things will be when we get rid of JC, and that's not a philosophical difference.

Its not that i feel any of my arguments have been proven wrong and i'm grasping at straws - its just that none of my previous arguments have done anything to sway you and there's no sense repeating the same arguments over and over again. I don't hate Campbell - I just dont think he's a good fit here and i am 100% certain he will be gone after this season at the latest - so why not move him now and get some value for him if we can? I'd rather get something for him now, than nothing for him later.
As to my friends - not a single one of them is a redskins fan. Most of them are lifelong Steelers, Colts, Patriots, and Giants fans and we usually watch games at sports bars together or someones house. Alot of them are much older than me and i trust their input - not a one of them that ive talked tothinks Campbell will succeed in this offense, which agrees with what the paid professionals have been saying since we brought Zorn here.
As far as me wishing the worst for the team i root for, its quite the opposite. This franchise has been mediocre since Snyder took over and that will never ever change with Campbell at the helm - he is a guy that doesnt make many mistakes, thats it. He's too timid to ever become great. Campbell ensures this team stays mediocre. Going 9-7 or 10-6 and playing in the wild card game once every few years doesnt satisfy me. If it does you, then you should hang out with fans of consistently good teams and you'll realize what youre missing out on - continued success.
I'd rather risk taking a step back in 2009, have a franchise QB, and then build around him for 10-15 years than continue to hover around 8-8 for that same timespan. You can't get ahead in this game without taking a few chances.
