“Kevin,
I’ve been a listener since I was a kid driving to school and my dad would turn Cooley and Kevin on the radio. I’m a recent TCU grad and live in Dallas, but I love that this podcast keeps me connected to the Redskins (also love the Shelly’s ads). Being as young as I am, I did not witness the glory days of the 80s and early 90s but only know about them as a distant memory of my dad’s youth. That being said, I’ve come to the conclusion that everything that has happened to this organization throughout my life has led to this season. If Ron didn’t stink it up as badly as he did the last two years, we wouldn’t have had the chance to take Jayden. Furthermore, Dan’s inability to functionally run an organization, but his obsession with making offseason splashes, kept the team just good enough to go 7-9 and not draft in the top 5 for all of those years when, even if he had taken a great quarterback, we would never have won because he was the owner. However, the new ownership realized something this time last year that the only way to win sustainably in this league is to have THE guy at quarterback, so they traded away Chase and Montez, who possibly would have caused us to win another game or two last season. I believe Jayden will lead us to sustained success, and that we only have Ron to thank for whiffing on taking Jahan over Kyle Hamilton, Forbes over Gonzales and others, etc. because we likely would be starting Drake Maye or JJ McCarthy right now if he had chosen correctly during those years. It’s a much more clear headspace that I hope your listeners might find freeing.
Hail,
VH”
