So what are the chances the Redskins will win a Super Bowl before the CBA runs out in 10 years?

[21MadFan]

I posted this question in the Twitter thread but figured I would post a new thread as well.

[aREDSKIN]

Well if the last 10 years are any indication.......I'd keep the money.

[tshile]

I think it depends on the level the owner and fans have patience

after one year a surprising large portion of fans want the shanahans out of here already.

which is funny given how many of them have ridiculed the owner for knee jerk reactions, and not trying to stick to a long term plan

[SkinsHokieFan]

It really depends how we treat the rest of this offseason and if we get our QB next year

[Wrong Direction]

An average franchise has about a 3% chance each year. Not many average franchises win championships.

Call me when the Skins are average again. :ols: I'll save my money, for now.

[ds1001]

i'd say it is slim, but it depends on how the next few drafts pan out for them

[Goingforburgundy]

I stake my claim on the 2015-2017 range when our QB of the future (next years top 5 pick) has 3-5 years in the system

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

The direction we're currently heading under this regime ..... cautiously optimistic.

I honestly believe that by the end of his initial 5 year deal (Shanahan's), we'll be a play-off challenging team again built the right way with quality youth developing together. And once you get into the dance, ANYTHING can happen.

I'm real optimistic for the first time in years on my team going forward. But add a 'cautiously' in front of that as regards a 4th Lombardi within the next decade. Lot of other good teams already established out there all wanting the same thing.

Hail.

[TD_washingtonredskins]

Low probability that the next decade comes and goes with us only winning one Super Bowl. I'd put your money on three to four.

[USS Redskins]

I know two things for sure... Shanny wont be the coach and Beck wont be the QB.

The Skins dont even have a player qualified to be a pro NFL QB... and you realy kind of need a good QB to win a superbowl in this league. The Skins dont even have a mediocre or average QB on the roster.

[DC9]

Coach Mike London and Quarterback Landry Jones will win at least two Super Bowls for your Washington Redskins going into the 2020's.

[MattFancy]

I can see us getting 1. If we stick with this current plan and Snyder gives Shanahan time, we could have a very good foundation in place.

[Audible_Red40]

I am pretty sure 10 is a safe answer.

[jfriedenthal]

about a one in 3 chance... roughly.... :)

[DM72]

What foundation are you talking about? We are still worlds behind everyone in our division when it comes to offensive skilled players.

The Virginia HC? I think this may qualify as 'the most out there prediction for many a year' post.

Each to their own, but I'd totally dispute that.

Only Dallas with Witten could lay a claim on the TE's. And going forward as a group I'd take our core of wide outs and backs against any of the divisional rivals. QB's obviously a whole other story, but that will come in time.

I don't think we're too bad...but you'd really take our RB/WR corps over Philly's?

Yes I'll have whatever he's smoking.;):ols:

[LetThePointsSoar]

Should set it up as a poll with each options as 0-10%, 10-20%, etc. I'd go with 40% range....nice to see now that Free Agency is about to start the droves of naysayers seem to be coming back in full force.

Hail.

[GaryGreenMonk]

math wrong.. hahaa.. it's just 1 in 32 mathmatically.

[Chase M]

32 Teams/10 years (chances) - 7-8 drop off teams+2 sleepers=2.6%

HTTR!

You have to be the biggest Redskins homer to suggest that our offense matches up against anybody in our division.

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

Honestly, save for McCoy, I wouldn't want anyone from the Eagles group over what we have. Granted, a lot of that is just potential in our case with some very talented, if unproven at this level kids. But the Eagles have nothing on their roster that I'd take over that potential apart from the aforementioned McCoy.

I didn't say that. As we stand, with no competent pro QB (the unproven Beck not withstanding) and a boneheaded OC who left more questions than answers going forward after year one, not to mention the current state of the line prior to FA; our O is a mess.

But pound for pound, in the skill positions outside of QB, all be it quality potential as mentioned above; we stack up to all the divisional rivals IMHO.

Hail.

*Edit* But thanks for the 'homer' line. I've never had that said to me before on here. I'll take it over the 'hater' bunkem that's been thrown my way over the years for daring to question this organization.

I'm impressed with their young skill players, so I would love for your assessment to be right. I don't know much about the young guys we have (though I have an irrational love of Terrence Austin), so I can't comment. The obvious advantage I noticed with Philly is that their guys have all done it (whatever "it" is) in the NFL.

[MLSKINS]

I don't know. In the first year in a new offensive system, there were flashes where the team shined. Now of course there were times where it was rough, but you would expect that from a team in the first year of a new offense.

As for the question of the thread, I say it is 50-50. We have seen the NFC East revolve at the top. We ran the 80's, Cowboys had the 90's, Eagles the 00s', with the Giants winning a Super Bowl in each decade. The way it is looking, I am optimistic that Shanahan will get this thing on the right track. The next six months are very important.

[SwampEm]

We should. It's going to be our turn to rise to the top again. It's the NFL.

[DC9]

I will preface this by saying that I am not a UVA fan/or alumn... but I think he'll become a hot topic after this season....

HAIL!

[Destructis]

Who really knows? All I want is for the Skins to get back to playoffs. Once you are in the playoffs, anything can happen. It's not always the best team that wins the SB, but who the hottest or has the ball bouncing their way at the time.

I think ShanAllen can get us back to the playoffs. From there, it's anyones guess.

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

Interesting. Gota' say I know next to nothing about him, but I shall look out for the Cavaliers results with interest.

Not that I want the Shanahan era to end any time soon, but there'd be something kinda' sweet about having a local HC.

Hail.

[DC9]

Not that I want the Shanahan era to end any time soon

I am right there with you on this one, buddy!

[BraveWarrior]

When we have a quality starter at QB, and a line to protect him, and receivers to throw to, and players who actually fit the defensive scheme the coaches want to run....then we have a chance.

[Hitman21ST]

The Skins dont even have a player qualified to be a pro NFL QB... and you realy kind of need a good QB to win a superbowl in this league. The Skins dont even have a mediocre or average QB on the roster.

Technically McNabb is on the roster, and he's an average QB. If you want to say that McNabb is as "good as gone" then I'll say Grossman is as "good as here" in which case we have Grossman, and he's a good QB. He won't take the team on his shoulders like Manning or Brady, but he's shown that he's more than competent.

[TheShredder]

The chances are as good as any other team. The GM and HBC need to work their plan and put all the pieces to the puzzle on the same roster for a couple of years to make a solid run. Fans (including the Owner) are impatient and probably won't like the slow walk to competitiveness. It's apparent that MS doesn't care what anybody else thinks and him and BA are working at a common goal. It will happen for the Skins within the next decade. Hail!!!

I don't agree entirely... We need a strong O and D lines and a top 5 Defense to allow for a NFL QB to manage a game. Redskins have not been blown out of many games in the past and the needs to create powerful and skilled lines will pay dividends quickly. The next step is going to put the right combo of skilled players together on both sides of the ball with some big play ability on teams. This is going to be a .500 team for another year or so and the next step will take place after the cohesion is created.

We were 8th in passing yards per game. It was our 30th ranked rushing from the lack of any O-line that made us the worst.

[emor09]

With 2 young pass rushers (one that we know can get it done, and another that hopefully pans out) and a dominant young safety, we have potential to have a good defense for years.

With Cooley, Davis, and Armstrong we have 3 receiving options that, if combined with a legit #1 receiver, would be a great supporting cast. We also have a solid young left tackle.

That at least gives us a chance to make some sort of noise.

[pjfootballer]

Zero, God hates me and continues to make my life miserable.

[NattyBo]

0%. Let's make the playoffs in consecutive years, before you even entertain thinking about possibly talking about something like this, FFS.

[Hitman21ST]

Zero, God hates me and continues to make my life miserable.

So kick the bucket so the rest of us can enjoy a Lombardi ;)

[DeaconTheVillain]

31.2% exactly

[tdigle]

We're going to be a playoff team in two years time and a division title threat in three years time. That's all I care about, to be honest. I just want to see the B&G after the regular season ends. I'll worry about the SB after this happens.

[skins island connection]

If egos continue to run the show, I'd say I have a better chance of laying Amy Winehouse.

Too soon.

[jaydogg3eb]

0% chance. Our current coach still thinks that John Beck... yes, John freakin' Beck... is a better option then Donovan McNabb. The rest of the NFL is still laughing at us.

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

Too soon.

WAY too soon, if at all. :nono:

Hail.

That's not even considering the fact that she's dead...

I think that's what the attempt of the humor was....but it missed. Back on topic, so can we get a poll up?

[Oldfan]

I like my chances of nailing Scarlett Johansson better.

[warpath213]

I like my chances of nailing Scarlett Johanssen better.

even if it's one in a million... you're still saying there's a chance.... yesssss!!!!

[h8dacowgirls]

0 you have a better chance of winning the lottery and especially not while Dan owns the skins

[LetThePointsSoar]

I like my chances of nailing Scarlett Johanssen better.

Oldfan - if and when you nail Scarlett Johansson, I will change my stance and agree with every single post you ever make on here for a year. You have my word.

Fixed. :) And in hindsight, wouldn't want my 1000th post any other way than to be talking about nailing Scarlett JohanssOn.

[wilco_holland]

3,125%

Who th **** is Scarlett Johanssen? You mean Scarlett Johansson? Becareful Danish people can freak out when you write E instead of a O. Believe me I have been down that road.

I give myself a good chance to have a threesome with Megan Fox and Jessica Alba in a burning building for a Robert Rodriguez directed movie called El blanco machete, pequeño machete pero gran polla.

[Oldfan]

...Who th **** is Scarlett Johanssen? You mean Scarlett Johansson? Becareful Danish people can freak out when you write E instead of a O. Believe me I have been down that road..I misspelled her name? Huh...I wonder if that's why she stopped calling me.

[skins island connection]

OK, OK...
Maybe it was a bit TOO early, but I like my apple pie warm!

How about if the Skins get a top 5 QB; I believe things will fall into place.
If not, there's the always reliable and never disappointing Stacy Dash...:D

[Rdskns2000]

Jan. 2022- the year after this contract ends when there is a strike in the 2021 season.

[Warhead36]

Assuming each team had an equal shot every year, it'd be 3.125%. Of course, not all teams are going to have an equal chance. So really, as of now I'd say our chances are less than 3%. Of course if we turn things around the next few years that number could go up.

only way that is going to happen is if we get real linemen on both sides of the ball. having a consistent coaching staff for once wouldn't hurt, either.

[Fuzzy Dunlop]

I don't see it happening

[VaSkinsNut]

Unless one of the Rooneys buys the team next year id say zero.
