There are a lot of problems, not just the product on the field. FedEx Field is difficult to get into and get out of, and has way too much capacity. It was built for the nineties Redskins who were winning championship. Allen.... how does he still have a job? No
Playoff wins since 2006.... a brief high with RG III in his one season before he got hurt. Chased Kirk Cousins out of town. And now the Case Keenum era begins. It’s going to be another long season in DC.

The best football is on Saturdays anyway. Pro players in both football and basketball are too self-aggrandizing for my tastes. You might as well log into unsocial media and look at nothing but selfies. :)

Players and coaches are obviously important, but the General Managers are often overlooked. I'm not familiar with Allen, but as soon as I started reading this story, I wondered who the GM was.

Later on in the article, it became pretty clear that Allen is a problem, and I'm not all that convinced that Jay Gruden is the right guy. Without a good GM, the coach and players are not going to compete against another team with better coaching and better players.

Look at the teams who draft in the early in the rounds every year; and those who are always picking at the end. You would think that the bad teams would get the better players out of college, yet year after year, you see the same teams win and the same teams lose. Every now and then there's a little movement, but for the most part, it's pretty consistent.

That's what good management does for a franchise.

Note that the Cleveland Browns resurgence might be credited to Baker Mayfield, but the guy that picked him was former Kansas City Chief GM, John Dorsey. He's a winner, as long as their owner, Jimmy Haslam doesn't meddle.

“And now the Case Keenum era begins”

good gosh, that’s hard to imagine ... Keenum is the quintessential retread’s retread and was simply awful at his last gig with the Denver Broncos ...
