If given two scenarios:
Scenario A. 2011: 9-7 2012: 9-7
Scenario B. 2011: 5-11 2012: 13-3
Same number of games won over a two year period, but one looks significantly better than the other. Do what we need to do now to get a young base, then grow from there. We've tried this semi-rebuilding bullshit before and it has us where we are now. Lets bust it down, get rid of the mentality around Redskins park and start fresh.

Good post. I think the majority of fans will be patient w/ this FO and Shanahan. There will be those fans who will go on the radio and/blogs and blast us if we lose 10 games this year, but they are the minority. The Skins should get younger and should try to build this thing right. Most fans will realize that it isn't done overnight, it's going to take a few years.
