But I feel we might be close to a similar 6-10 record as last year EVEN if I am convinced that this younger roster is more suitable for his offense and defense and it offers a much better future than the one we had last year.
And that is my true problem lies. The true difficult prediction to make is the following:
Will Daniel Snyder keep the current combo Allen/Shanny/Shanny IF we have NO IMPROVEMENT in the wins/losses columns?
Will he be PATIENT and stay the course?
or
Will he be guided by attendance and merchandise decline sales to make yet another big name change at the top?
I feel that the father-son Shanny combo is taking a big risk with Beck and Grossman this year. If the choice works, they will be regarded as geniuses BUT if they fail after betting their reputation on those two names, their future is rather uncertain.
I HATE uncertainty when a head coach is not given a chance to prove himself OR when he makes it easy for the owner to make another blunder.
I will be happy with improvement like many. Will the owner be satisfied with that too? That is the big question for me.
To your point no one can say what Snyder will do other then Snyder. But I personally don't think they are in danger at all for this year. If this year is say 4-12 then I think everything you're saying becomes a real concern next year.
