Even after all our belly achin (mostly justified), if this teams starts 3-1 or something like that, we are all gone be talking positive and about the future .....hopefully leaving the last 13 years in the rear view.

After the disappointment which followed Zorn's 6-2 start in year 1, it will take me more than 3-1 to turn it around and believe.

Not to mention last year at 4-3 w/the lions on schedule this team looked at least headed to enter the late part of season w/playoff possibilities.

Options are like you know what. Everybody has one. The fact of the matter is Redskins is one of the richest franchises in America and people hate on us because of that. Yes Dan has made some poor decisions, however I feel he has put the right people in place for the moment to make this franchise "respectable". Who needs respect when you have won as much as we have and I feel will go on to do in the future.

Do you really think the New England Patriots fans "hate on us" because the Redskins' franchise has a higher dollar value than does the Pats' franchise?

Would you really trade three Super Bowl championships in a decade for a lower franchise value on the Redskins? I doubt any Patriots' fans or Steelers' fans or Packers' fans would make that trade.

Seriously. I don't think many people are jealous of our franchises value. The only people that might be jealous are small market teams looking at how much the Skins can spend on signing bonus's and coaches, but when they look at our record and how much fans have to pay to attend games any sense of jealously probably goes away.

The only time I've enjoyed the net value thing is when my friends thought I was crazy for saying that the Redskins were among the 5 most valuable sport franchises world wide, and way even be in the top 2, to which they replied that there was NO WAY the Skins were more valuable then teams like Real, Barca, Chelsea, Bayren, Arsenel. As well as teams like the Yankees, Lakers, Red Sox, Patriots, etc.

It was pretty shocking to considering that teams like Real Madrid had paid 100 million Euros just to acquire the rights to a player. Never mind paying them to play, just the right to sign them to a contract.

A hollow victory if there ever was one.

Last I checked Real Madrid was one of the worst managed team in sports. I think they were 300 million dollars in dept and nearly went bankrupt. Their management makes Danny look timid.

Your the worst managed team in sports.

In two of the last three seasons, this team has been off to a "good" start, plagued by the same issues (mainly offense). I'd like to see a team that no longer has these issues, mainly on offense...however I think it is going to take a while for this to happen.

The skins are a bottom feeder team and have been for years. I hate to say it but it's true folks. Yeah we have made the playoffs a couple times in the DS era but honestly it's been a nightmare as a skins fan.

This is the main reason we were ranked so low.
