This thread isn't meant to defend him...but people fail to recognize that largely the same management team is in place that hasn't won a playoff game in 24+ years. Yeah...How many other NFL management teams keep their jobs after 4-5 years of no playoffs???? Well...ours hasn't won a playoff game in 24+ years!!!

The team doesn't sign quality (tier 1 or 2) free agents. They generally don't sign external free agents to more than short deals.

This team uses draft picks to replace players who will cost too much to retain 2-3 years down the road instead of trying to improve the roster during the upcoming season. (Yeah...draft a 1st and 2nd Round Tackle instead of retain Andre Smith? who was like 29-30 years old and still playing well.)

Well...we made it to the playoffs 5 years in a row and didn't win. One has to wonder what the result would have been had we signed a quality free agent or 2.

The team has had a hole at a major position for each of the past 5 years. What if we had signed a Center instead of drafting a 4th Round pick and starting him Year 1??? We don't even generally start 1st Round picks Year 1.

We'll likely change coaches and we should...but I doubt that a new HC is going to succeed with this management team in place.

People always point to the Redskins and say you can't build a great team through free agency...and you can't...but when we had a good roster...adding a quality player or 2 could have put us over the top.

You're talking about firing family members....not EVER happening from Mike Brown.
