Jake says: I could run the team better

Here are 6 teams that are an embarrasment. In my head, I think "I could run that team better."

(1) The Washington Redskins: Dan Snyder doesn't have the patience to run an NFL team. He keeps looking for a quick fix, but there isn't one. And he doesn't like to spend money on blue collar positions (e.g., offensive linemen). The Redskins do not have an offensive or defensive line. Until they do, they will not be a real threat in the NFL.

(2) The Houston Texans: The Texans had a terrible draft. They needed an OT (and ended up drafting the 6th best OT in the draft...with a first round pick...eek that is bad value). And bringing in Gary Kubiak only made this situation worse. Now the Texans think his crazy "Denver" blocking scheme can make up for quality line play.

(3) The Carolina Panthers: Ever since their super bowl appearance, the Panthers have been struggling with injuries and strange offseason moves. One season of injuries...hey, that's bad luck. But season after season...something is going on.

(4) The Chicago Bears: What are the Bears trying to do on offense? Do they have any plan at all? Ron Turner (formerly the head coach of the University of Illinois...when the Illini really sucked) is running the offense. He isn't known for great decision making. Not that he has anything to work with. Their line is...not good. RB situation....I hope that their rookie pans out (Forte). WRs? Nope. QB? Not quite.

(5) The St. Louis Rams: Hey, the Rams are rebuilding. I understand that. But what is the gameplan here? The moves seem pretty random at this point. Heck, they have even talked about bringing in Ricky Williams. That's a sign you need to step back and rethink your strategy.

(6) The Oakland Raiders: Hire new "young gun" coach. After one season, keep him in constant fear of being fired. I like Al Davis....but this is not a reasonable way to handle coaching. Plus, could we stop drafting DBs? Seriously, how many DBs can you draft? The Detroit Lions can't stop drafting WRs and the Raiders can't stop drafting DBs.
