I just don't think so.

For some reason I feel like, even when this thing turns around, every move the Redskins make is still going to be bashed/criticized/overanalyzed.

Because the fact of the matter is, we've had a much better offseason than years previous, and I feel like all it would've taken is signing some big name quarterback like VY or Hasselbeck or whatever and all the sudden everyone would be ready to hop on the bandwagon.

Right now, people are having fun tearing down John Beck and calling Rex Grossman fat. The reason I get pissed is because there are no legitimate criticisms of the Redskins going on right now. This "well we suck, so we deserve criticism" stuff ignores the fact that 3/4's of what people are saying has nothing to do with football.

If ESPN or NFL Network or 106.7 The Fan were talking about FOOTBALL, and what the problems on the football side of things, I'd have no problem. As it stands, when people mention the Redskins, I barely hear anything about football, and hear jerks like Warren Sapp and Jamie Dukes snickering over John Beck being turned away at camp, or JLC making blind generalizations about the team, or Yahoo posting pictures of Rex Grossman looking chubby.

I've heard nothing about the additions we've made to the team, except people booing the Stallworth signing. There are still people out there claiming we signed Stokley. Stokley hasn't even sniffed Redskins Park since he said there was too much competition for a starting job (which in and of itself says a lot, but that went ignored too). And I've heard more about Andrew Luck than I have about any of the guys not named Beck or Grossman than ANYONE currently on our roster.

It's complete bull.
