Does the Old ass Alex Smith who nobody ever really wants for a third and Fuller just to spite Kirk Cousins trade affect your fandom?

I went with it hurts because I am getting tired of the constant stupidity. TBVH, the only moments I thought we ever had a shot in the FO follows...

1- Mike Shanahan was in charge of personnel and Bruce was a background guy.
2- We hired SM to be the GM.


That is it. Since as long as I can remember, these are the two times I have felt hope for a long game. Both were short-lived and killed by Bruce Allen. That is when I realized Bruce has never been hands off.

I need to stop writing before I add a new category. I will call it the country roads category and say fuck it, fuck this team, I am done. I am that close from jumping off this sinking ship.

I couldn't stop rooting for this team if I tried. Some of my best childhood memories are going to RFK with my dad, listening to Ken Beatrice after the game. Hell, my dad was stationed at the Army War College from 79 to 81. I lived in Carsile as a kid. I understand my fandom is what enables Dan, but it is what it is.

Thats what I went with too.

The thing that kills me is it just feels like now I have to wait it out a couple years for them to finally move on from Smith, inevitably fire Gruden, and start over. It just makes me less willing to commit time and energy to them in the meantime basically. Ive got Penn State football to focus on lol.

Really. I miss the good old days when every 2 years we just trashed everybody and started over. Now we gotta wait 5 or 6.

Lol. True I can appreciate they'll likely be a half decent team but...whats really the point when I don't have hope in it developing into anything more.

For me, "NO" was the obvious selection, everything else required some sort of emotional tie. Don't get me wrong, we are all tied to this team for differing reasons, but, on a personal note, to continue doing the same things over, and over again, then expecting a different result,...well...there's a name for that!

I've never been a fan or had the energy to support TWO NFL teams, only the REDSKINS. Your BRONCOS wanted "Old ass" Smith as their starting QB, and offered a better deal...hmm

Did it ever occur to you the Broncos might have wanted Smith because no one thought the Redskins would REALLY be dumb enough to let Cousins walk for nothing but a maybe at a 3rd round comp pick in next years draft???

Things that make you go Hmmmm

Not my Broncos. I supported them when they had Peyton and Peyton is he only individual player I ever cheer for.

The Broncos deal was not better. Talib is on he way out with a crazy salary and Fuller is on the way up with a third rounder salary. Getting rid of Talib opens up Denver to throw more money KC’s way. Mark it...Denver signs KC.

mark it down we trade for talib

If I am Kirk Cousins, I publically thank Bruce Allen for all the money he shelled out over the last two seasons, then I say I am signing with Denver for far less than anybody else is offering because they are the best team out there for me. This was all made possible by you Brucie.

Nope, the game and teams change every single year. It is part of the process. That goes for every level. Older guys like me miss the old days when you could keep a guy for 8 or 12 years ala Monte Coleman but those days ended with free agency. Been a Redskin fan since 1963, not going to change now and just to be clear "I Like Sonny!"

Doh!! Now I'm waiting on someone chiming in with a "I like Billy." response. (Not me, I was on the Sonny side too)

Where ever 'Kurt' ends up ill be hoping he excels so our FO can be part of another espn top ten list of most stupid blunders. I almost believe for the last 2 years our FO has been hoping he fails so they look like they have some football smarts... it didn't happen. Now the FO will want us to win so maybe they'll put a better team around Alex.
