Jim Zorn Should Be Out In Washington

We have been on the anti-Zorn bandwagon since his first game as coach last season. He looked lost and I don't think he has completely found his niche in any aspect as a head coach in Washington. He was supposed to turn Jason Campbell into, well, Jim Zorn, and turn the offense into a threat. Neither has happened for the Redskins and they did the unthinkable today, they lost to the Lions.

The Detroit Lions lost in 19 straight games, but they came out playing very well, but let the Redskins back into it in the 4th quarter today. Jason Campbell had a shot at a throw in the endzone, but ended up trying the "always works and never miss" short pass and lateral play. Needless to say, the play didn't work and the Lions won the game.

If you're Daniel Snyder, there are some huge questions that need to be asked.

Is Jason Campbell your future quarterback? I don't think so. I don't think Colt Brennan is your answer either. But good news Redskins fans, you will have a high pick next year and have your pick of Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy, or even Tim Tebow.

Is Albert Haynesworth worth all of that money when you can't even sniff the playoffs? Again, I don't think so. He will earn you an extra win or two, if your offense can produce, but that isn't happening either.

Is Santana Moss and Antwan Randle-El a good #1 and #2 receiver tandem? Pick five or six teams in the NFL, now would either of these receivers be a #1 or #2 on those teams? I think they are both good #3 receivers, possible slot-receivers, but they lack size and the Steve-Smith-esque quality to just make unbelievable plays. The teams that they would be #2 receivers won are the teams that won't be winning many games this season.

Could this be the end of the road for Clinton Portis? I know this was asked last season, but he had a good 2008-09 season, when they realized that they couldn't pass the ball. Some new blood is needed on the offense on every level. The offensive line is decent, but everything else, except Chris Cooley, needs to be over-hauled. The players that will turn this offense around, aren't on this roster right now.

Finally, How much longer can you keep Jim Zorn as your head coach? This guy is useless. In my pre-season predictions, I had the Redskins firing him by Week 6. I feel pretty comfortable with my prediction, especially since they just looked bad against the Lions. You play the Buccaneers at home next week, but then you play in Carolina, where you will not win. Do you wait until after next week and see if you can beat a bad Tampa Bay team, but will probably lose? Daniel Snyder pays big money for older players, but hired an inexperienced coach. I don't get it, it should be the other way around. An experienced coach could get the most out of inexperienced players, but an inexperienced coach will get walked on by veterans. It's a horrible combo and Zorn needs to go. He will probably be a decent quarterbacks coach somewhere in this league, but he's over-matched in the NFL.

I don't it a habit to call out coaches and call for their heads, I have only done this one other time. Dusty Baker is still the coach of the Reds, so I'm currently 0-1, so we'll see if I can go .500, but I doubt that Zorn will last the season.

Why Your Team Will Not Win The Super Bowl

Right now, every NFL fan thinks their team is going to be a Super Bowl contender. Only one team wins every year, so most fans leave the season dejected and deflated. I want to help you out and push you off the ledge and take that cup of kool-aid out of your hand. It's better to realize now that your team is bad, rather than wait until the playoffs, or if you're a Lions fan, Week three. Read this and see why your team isn't going to win the Super Bowl in 2009.

Arizona Cardinals - Your quarterback is nearly a grandpa and you drafted a fragile running back to anchor your backfield. If the injury bug hits, it could devastate worse than the plague.

Atlanta Falcons - Michael Turner aged four years last season by getting more than 370 carries and Matt Ryan isn't Peyton Manning....yet.

Baltimore Ravens - If you take Derrick Mason out of the line-up, I have more career catches than the rest of the wide-receiving corps combined.

Buffalo Bills - Remember when Marcus Stroud was good? Buffalo fans have no memory of it. The NFL Odds will be stacked against them this year.

Carolina Panthers - You had your chance last season, but Delhomme literally gave the game away. Also, the Panthers have never had back-to-back seasons of over .500 football.

Chicago Bears - You traded two future first-round picks and a neckbeard for a diabetic quarterback. Is it me or does he have a little Jeff George in him?

Cincinnati Bengals - Ask the Chiefs and Cowboys how they did after being on "Hard Knocks." Also, Chad Ochocinco will have his twitter feed pumped through his helmet by mid-season.

Cleveland Browns - Braylon Edwards can't catch a pass Josh Cribbs isn't your answer. Also, your quarterback has been on the cover of Men's Fitness once every fiscal quarter. How about Brady Quinn spend more time watching film and less working on his abs.

Dallas Cowboys - Jessica Simpson is gone...the jinx is gone! Unfortunately, Wade Phillips is still your coach. Good news, you have a sweet tv above your field.

Denver Broncos - Your quarterback has broken finger and a neckbeard and your #1 receiver hates your city.

Detroit Lions - Let me know when you win a game and then we can think of something witty about you losing a Super Bowl.

Green Bay Packers - Your defensive backs are so old that they probably owned pagers. I remember when they played in college, I did quite a bit of NCAA football betting on the teams that they played for.

Houston Texans - A lot of people are picking your team as a dark horse. They forgot that you have to play the Colts and Titans twice every year.

Indianapolis Colts - Bob Sanders is injured again, I guess you better get Maurice Jones-Drew, Steve Slaton, and Chris Johnson on your fantasy team, they are going to be racking up a lot of yards against the Colts.

Jacksonville Jaguars - If you lose a game and no fan is there to watch it, did you really lose a game? The way that they are selling tickets there, maybe they won't lose any games this season.

Kansas City Chiefs - Your team still smells like Herm Edwards.

Miami Dolphins - Your team is partially owned by Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony. They sent a memo that the "wildcat" formation will now be known as "El Gato Loco"

Minnesota Vikings - Brett Favre has a torn shoulder and he'll want to pass on every down. Adrian Peterson might as well line up as the slot receiver.

New England Patriots - Your team traded or forced all of their veterans on defense to retire after last season. You better get used to 49-48 games this season.

New Orleans Saints - They can definitely score points, but let me know when their cornerbacks can cover an NFL receiver.

New York Giants - The last time Mario Manningham caught a pass, he was in college. Now he's one of your main targets. Good luck with that Giants fans.

New York Jets - New coach, rookie quarterback, old running back, weak receiving corps...Super Bowl Champions! Mike Greenberg's head would explode, leaving a thick film of hair gel on everything.

Oakland Raiders - Maybe if Tom Cable took some of that aggression and punched some of his players in the face, they would win some games.

Philadelphia Eagles - Your quarterback looks like he has gained 20 pounds and he's very thin-skinned. The fans are already chanting Michael Vick's name, I'm sure McNabb can handle it, right?

Pittsburgh Steelers - Your team has the most obnoxious fanbase of any team. No matter what I say here, you're still going to be crazy. So go wave your yellow blankies and drink your Iron City beer.

San Diego Chargers - It's not good when you're star linebacker is choking bi-sexual asian women.

San Francisco 49ers - Mike Singletary is a scary man, the Niners will be pissing themselves if they drop a pass or miss an assignment. I would recommend wearing a diaper under your jock strap.

Seattle Seahawks - Jim Mora Jr. is your head coach. That's not the better and more entertaining Jim Mora. Remember when Jim Mora Jr. called on a cell phone during a game? He's clueless.

St. Louis Rams - They let their best player leave, Torry Holt, and they still have no quarterback.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Someone should tell them that you can only play one quarterback at a time, so there is no need to have that many on your roster.

Tennessee Titans - Kerry Collins is an old man and your back-up still has his tail between his legs from an interception he threw last season.

Washington Redskins - Was Jim Zorn ready to be a head coach? I think I know at least 53 guys who wouldn't think so.

The Redskins Are Clueless

After A Week One loss to the New York Giants, everyone was calling for Jim Zorn's head. The Redskins looked bad and their offense couldn't even run an average 2-minute offense. Then somehow the Redskins go on a hot streak and win a few games in a row and suddenly Zorn is a lifesaver. Well, it didn't take long for the Redskins to fall back to Earth. They were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention and now the village people are calling for Zorn's head again. If Daniel Snyder was smart, he would listen to the village.

Vinny Cerrato, the team's executive vice president of football operations, said Monday that Jim Zorn will return next season. This doesn't seem like a Dan Snyder move to me. Is this the same man who basically has a blank check when it comes to the Redskins? Has the economy hurt Snyder?

He has coaches like Mike Holmgren, Josh McDaniels, and Bill Cowher just waiting out there for the picking and he's not doubling down. You have Bill Cowher, who has a home on the East Coast (North Carolina area), which isn't a great distance from the nation's capital. There are arguments for and against bringing in a new coach, but you can clearly see the upside on bringing in an elite head coach, not a guy that you got last second after all the other coaches you interviewed didn't seem interested.

I know the fans of the Redskins think Jason Campbell could be the quarterback of the future. Does he have the skills to win a game with his arm? I'm not sold and if you bring in Josh McDaniels, he would bring Matt Cassel with him. You have a pretty good tandem with a head-start on learning the offense. Clinton Portis has a few years left on him, but the Redskins are in need of an elite, prototypical receiver. Receivers like Santana Moss and Antwaan Randle-El are more possession receivers that lack size.

Redskins fans need to write letters, text, or contact Dan Snyder in some way to get him to explore the idea of getting in an experience coach to lead this team. The Redskins are just a couple of pieces of away from being in the top-tier of the NFC, they just need the leadership to guide them.
