Please.
They are a mess.
They have no first round picks until 2015 - - they used them up on a QB whom they just ruined.
Let's see now.......no cap space.....no first round picks until 2015..... You do the math.
Snyder's only hope not to further embarrass himself is to sue the NFL into nonexistence.
I stand by my assessment. I'm not a fan, but here in Northern VA, I hear lots about them on the local sports shows.
1st - they won the NFC East
2nd They had the #5 offense in the league with a rookie QB and a thin WR Corp beyond Garçon who missed multiple games last season.
3rd RGIII was mishandled, but there is no evidence that he's ruined.
4th They lost 2 of their best D players early in the season and still won the NFC East
5th They have a very solid running game
Do they have multiple needs? Absolutely. Are they lacking draft picks? Absolutely.
But they have a Franchise QB and a capable backup.
