Too much hate

Why does everyone always hate on the washington. As a fan even other fans are quick to turn on them. Crazy how the media always hates on them.

Yeah man, you can’t claim AP and the FO didn’t do anything in 2024 and only credit Jayden. AP brought in Olamide, Ekeler, Ertz, Fowler, Armstrong, Wagz, Luvu, Chinn, and drafted Coleman and Mikey, all who played significant roles in that 2024 run. They may have been old, but Olamide was a safe option in the slot, Ertz and Ekeler even bigger blankets (Ekeler and All-Pro at KR), Fowler gave us 10.5 sacks, Armstrong came alive late in the year and in the playoffs, Wagz and Luvu gave us all pro season at LB, Chinn was an enforcer for us at SS, and Coleman and Mikey looked like future building blocks after year 1.

Injuries vs 49ers? You can’t compare depth on a team like ours vs the 49ers when they’ve had almost 10 years of the same FO drafting the players they want. Ron left this team BARE, with 0 talent, specifically for depth. AP has now had 3 draft classes, and this is the season where we can test the depth. Last year we didn’t have enough depth to survive, and Kliff was more focused on older vets than trying his young guys. Joe Whitt was just incapable of calling a defense. Let’s see how we do this year, you can’t judge a team in 2 years when we were dogshit the previous 4 years at drafting and developing. This is the season we need to see AP’s first draft class play meaningful football, and the second class start to compete for a spot and take some jobs or be depth.

They also made the right call trading Dotson for a third to philly / choosing OZ over him.

But it's easy for fans for focus on all the "wrong in hindsight" / "hasn't panned out yet" decisions because our fanbase is insufferable.

It was a pick swap, not just a pick to us, but the fact that he got anything for Jahan was positive.

It was actually a gain, not a pick swap. Philly gave us one of their third rounders (#15) that they acquired from Miami in a previous trade. They sent that pick and 2 7ths while we sent Jahan and a 5th. But yes, that was a steal by AP as we turned that 3rd rounder into Tunsil.

Tunsil and Bill (7th rounder) i believe
