With the Porter deal, the needle is tipping towards the Wizards sales office being the worse gig right now. Should Beal be dealt as well (non-trivial chance at that), a suicide watch may be required for those at the CapiterizonOne CentArena (or whatever they're calling it these days).

turtle28 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Definitely desperation. I hope Snyder keeps losing $. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, Grunfeld is awful, but that trade makes the team better of, long term. You can't give a bench player 26 million a year.

At the time I wrote it, I was expecting them to do a full on tank job and clear everyone. Having Beal means they can still market one player. However, given the likelihood that the two guys they got in the deal are going to be gone by June, there's not a whole lot left to hang their hat on.

Wow, that's a truly sad state of affairs. It's bad enough when you have a GM or a coach who isn't any good, but at least then you can just wait until he inevitably gets canned. When it's the owner, it's probably going to be a long wait. Sorry it has gotten to that point for Redskins fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting out from under the Porter deal is hanging your hat on something. In fact, getting out of bad contracts is all Grunfeld has to hang his hat on.

Skinscavalier Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 This team's front office sucks! 2 for 1 deal! Next season the stands will be 1/2 filled at best with most being fans for the opposing team. Maybe when Snyder sees that his nearly empty stadium he might finally fire Allan and hire a real GM to run the team. All three locallies will not pony up any money for his new stadium either. What am I saying?! Snyder is running this team to the ground. We are the new Cleveland Browns of the NFL. The laughing stock of how a team is runned and managed. No one is going to want to work for this team who is worth anything. How many former employees (front office, coaches and players) have left here for greater things? Sell the team!

Sorry it has gotten to that point for Redskins fans. @Thaiphoon and I have already made a sad peace with the fact that we'll probably be retired (if not dead) before Snyder is no longer the owner. We essentially have end-of-life Al Davis in terms of quality of ownership in the body of Al Davis moving-team-to-LA (54) minus any of the success Al Davis ever had.

Unfortunately that requires him to borrow from the future to fix the now and thus perpetuates the failures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, this seriously is the most accurate "5,000 foot" description of Dan Snyder that I think has ever been written. It literally checks off the boxes.
