I can’t be apart of watching this team anymore. I’m gonna miss talking football with Knight Turtle Thai Mike Woz Lavar Dash I mean y’all are like my second family. But I just can’t do Football anymore. I love playing as a kid until I couldn’t anymore. I grew up on this team. I posted on here for years because my mom passed and that was my Football partiner. I grew up hearing about how special this team was but honestly after the last couple years I just can’t do it anymore. I’ve neglected so many things in my personal life I watched the love of my life grow to hate me because I acted like I cared more about this team then I did her. All I really grew up ever wanting was to see this team become special but after these past 2 years I’ve grown to hate this game. I have been scouting players for no reason year after year since I was 12 and after 16 years I just don’t want too anymore because for once I want to just get on with my life and try and build a life I can look back on and be satisfied with. For once I want to focus on a dream that’s alittle more realistic then being a scout. I do plumbing I have a good career and now I just want to focus on finding a life and hopefully someone some day who I won’t ignore because of some crazy dream I never even came close to living. I am gonna miss you guys. I hope things don’t get to crazy for the mods I tried my best to treat everyone with respect learn from everyone and I had a blast posting on this forum.  I hope you guys can watch this team turn it around. Maybe they will maybe they won’t but I wish you all the best!!!!! Thank you guys for the years of wisdom and for being loyal to this team. I will always love this team but I swore if they fired Scot I was done then I held on because I believed in Kirk Cousins here. Good luck fellas I’m gonna miss the posts!!!!

I know the feeling. After all the years on the board, studying recruits to give input and such. This year I didnt do that, Watched like 4 games. Pieces of a couple others. Last game of the season, I forgot there was even football on. A neighbor asked if I stopped watching the game cause they were losing. I was, "Huh? Theyre playing right now?"

When young and finding out about football. I was drawn to 2 teams. Cleveland and Washington. I was actually leaning towards Cleveland, and they upped and moved to Baltimore on me before I was really decided. Bruce Allen has me regretting it all. Im left wishing I could of been a fan of a 0-16 team, rather than be attached to a hopeless wreck  with a scumbag like Bruce running it.

So to sum up. Misery loves company. Which means you shouldnt just up and vanish. We need to console each other. Cause like heroine addicts. We have an equally serious problem, Were Redskin fans.

Rip @ripsean21, Bro, go to sleep and get some zzzzz

you will feel better tomorrow

and I hope you come back. Some of us older guys have been through this and we saw this coming because we know these morons

it will be interesting to watch how they trade cousins, build up smith to a hall of famer who’s going to take us to the super bowl, how we now have money to spend on defense, and Smith is a winner etc etc etc. yeah it’s all BS, but like a car wreck, it’s hard not to look at 

It’s also going to be fun to watch the redskin pr machine and all their paid ( either directly or indirectly) say how this was a great trade while trashing Kirk. Watch tandler- he’s the biggest butt kisser, then some at 980 who want to kiss up will chime in etc...

Seriously though you shouldn't quit the forum.

Healthy to assess where your focus lies....

I have no emotional attachments to this team/forum anymore - that's healthy in these times. Sometimes it's good to take a break, but you want a break because you have passion and this is not what you want. Healthy to have strong opinions and know what you believe. Also healthy to remember when you were wrong and when you were right about prospects/trades, and why you were.

Most people will be wrong about Alex Smith + Jay Gruden being incapable of producing a top offense. 

Sharing what you believe is important. Believing something is important. Talking about what you are passionate about is a worthwhile endeavor.

Challenge is to take the hard and soft skills learned from the scouting process and apply that to other areas of interest. It may be that your fascination with scouting lends you to be able to support local teams in evaluation. Volunteering at the local level can be incredibly valuable to the self.

Cheers

I don’t want to see you leave ripsean21. Just take some time off and come back when you’re ready. We’ve all done that before. Taking a few hours, days, a week or a month off to clear your head can do wonders. As much as you want to quit the team you likely won’t be able to and it’s probably true of the forum. A lot of us come here for comrodary and discuss Redskins topics amongst other people who love the team as much as us. I hope you get the time off you need but also hope you return in a month for free agency and definitely for tge draft. Godspeed my friend.

In challenging times such as these us Redskins fans are facing since Lil Danny bought the team we can learn from Winston Churchill:

"If you are going through Hell, keep going" 

"We shall defend our team, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender."

I can understand the emotional detachment from the team, but this forum? What'd we do?

If nothing else, @Thaiphoon and I could use the extra hand at smacking some of these guys into line. :D

I can actually understand what he is saying,I used to live and die with every win or loss.But it seems that every year they do the stupidest things during the off season.The team plays like they do not care.They never show up for big games.But at the same time.For the last decade woz,ebball16,thai,footy,turtle and the rest of you have been my outlet for venting the frustration of the total incompetence of the front office and coaching.I do not let it bother me anymore.At 52 years old I have learned the proper perspective.

Just to piggyback off of your thread @ripsean21this is the most demoralized I've ever been as a fan. Reading about Kirks excitement to leave and just how embarrassing this whole situation is just has me down. I think I finally hit that wall where I don't feel like there's any point to this anymore. We suck. We are always going to suck. Daniel Snyder has sucked all of the fun out of this organization. Honestly, what's the point anymore?

What do we get out of the endless threads of improvements for this team? Literally none of us could've predicted this situation ending this way. Fuller and a third for Smith? Like seriously? Absolutely no compensation for Kirk? Good lord this team is just the pinnacle of stupidity. You can't even make up how bad they suck at building a football team. Snyder, Wylie and Allen are the three stooges who've taken every bit of respect left for this organization and dragged it through a mound of cow poop. I'm just so completely bummed about this whole thing. This team will never be good again. Sigh.
