Skins Future?

[mlmdub130]

i thought coming in to this season we would be 6-10 and from the looks of things we'll end up 5-10 (oakland and dallas), i think we will improve our record next year and be right around 8-8, but we have a ways to go before we get a nfc divisional championship, that said i think we have about two seasons minimum til we have a 10 win season, i really hope it's sooner though

Well, there is no way in hell I can predict. We will likely have a new QB and a new OL. There has to be substantial changes, Snyder said so, so until I see those, saying we will be 10-6 in two years is a stretch. I assume you are saying that based on the status quo? If that is the case, I don't see a winning record in two years.

I think Imdub, mImpetert, Matty, and SS, should all have shotguns at the ready, and when DS comes in, I'll collect them all, and hide them a la Roadhouse!

It can happen rather quickly (2 years) if the team FO goes through a culture change.
1. Vinny is fired and a GM is hired.
2. Dan Snyder gives up all decisions that GMs usually make. No more personal decisions f-ing period.
We can win with DS playing the role of owner rather than football guy. This culture change also revolves around building a team through the draft and not over paying non preforming players...its really not that hard to see that is a fail.

I think a lot depends on the upcoming draft and offseason. If we can get two to three O-lineman starters and a running back that do more than just contribute, we can be legit playoff contenders in two seasons. The problem is our draft record has shown we are not capable of getting multiple (3 or more) difference maker type players in one draft class.

Vinny must go! That is a must. But Snyder scares me about Vinny. Nothing would surprise me when it comes to Vinny and Danny. I would not be shocked if he kept Vinny on for one more season...just to try and prove everyone wrong.

I think we can't really answer this until January. If Snyder fires Vinny and puts compitent people in place I think we could start winning consistently within a couple years. If we simply keep the same structure and insert a new coach into it we will never win.

^i agree , the bengals are this years playoff surprise... Next yr they could easilly be back to a 6 win team.. The pats and colts have built a great team for years and years now.

With the way we seem to have been snakebitten lately, Snyder could bring in someone like Bill Parcells and this would be the one place where even he couldn't get it together.

He only got it half way turned around in Dallas before Jerry ran him out of town. I am afraid Snyder would do the same. Though a part thinks if we ever start winning Snyder will stick with whatever is working. I really do think he only really wants to win but can't figure out how and just can't get out of his own way.

2-3 years if he makes all the right moves Matty. You have to think, we have to rebuild the entire O line, try to keep the D together, and acquire 2 QBs just for depths sake at the least. JC might just decide to leave on his own accord or we might do the crazy thing and dump him. I think we need him, til we groom his successor then keep him for depth.

Truer words...

It really just depends on Snyder and his ego. I mean when you put the profits aside, he's been a total failure for 10 years now at what evidently is his day job: managing the Redskins. His ego would have to be enormous to not take a much different approach i.e. hire a smart professional to piece the organization back together. I'm not holding my breath.

looking at the way the NFC east is playing out, i could see us winning the nfc east in the next 2-3 years. i really think it will be wide open in the coming years.

philly - mcnabb has been they stud qb in the nfc east for the past ten years. this has helped philly win a ton of nfc east titles as the giants, skins and boys played carousel at the qb position. once mcnabb is gone, the phily fans are going to realize just how lucky they were.

giants - with eli, their o line and d line they are always going to be in the mix but they just dont seem to be dominant enough to sustain years in year out control of the nfc east.

boys - its a rollercoaster ride over there, like the giants they will always be in the mix but i see them having on years and off years, on months then off months.

if we can get things relatively straight as to how to assemble a competitive roster at teh important positions i like our chances of winning a nfc east title in the next 3 years since no one (including us) seems to be poised to really control this division like the eagles have the past decade. every year we could have a different division leader, hopefully one year it will be us.

go skins!
