The Redskins rebuild has started and it’s time to understand it
The NFL is a league of parity. Since 1990, every team in the NFL (except Cleveland) has averaged between 6 to 9 wins. The Redskins check in at 7.39 wins per season over the past 30 years.
A lot of Skins fans don’t understand what a rebuild means. It’s perfectly understandable, we’ve lived through quick-fix scenarios and have developed the same impatience as the team owner. It’s been 20-plus years of big splash free-agent signings, draft day debacles and absolutely no vision for the future.
this fits duke and country to a T , doubt me ? wait till the first mistake the team makes in a game and watch country trash the team
We’ve lived through an era where the goal is finding band-aids to slow down the bleeding, just enough to sneak into the playoffs. They’ve worked tirelessly to produce a mediocre product, never willing to make the sacrifice it takes to develop a true contender.
So when we look at the 2020 free-agent class and its lack of big names, fans get disappointed. You see, we’re programmed to get excited for the wrong reasons. It’s time to reprogram our brains. We are witnessing the beginning stages of a rebuild.
Rebuilds take time, even in the NFL where they can happen quickly, patience is still needed. It doesn’t happen in the first three months. Much like the developmental stages of young children, the beginning stages of an NFL regime are the most important.
Coach Rivera is laying a foundation, he’s bringing in guys that fit his culture. They may not be part of the extended future, but these are guys than can deliver his message. So, don’t worry yourself with free-agent signings this year. The real long term vision for this team begins with the draft. Every great organization builds through the draft.
And understand this is a feeling out period for Rivera, not only with developing his foundation of players but learning to work with Kyle Smith and building relationships with his coaching staff.
what we as fans need to understand is this is what a rebuild looks like . and we have been programmed to think the other mess we have dealt with since the 90's is what rebuilds are . they arent and most take time .
