Bless Smithian's heart, he's an eternal optimist when it comes to this dumpster fire franchise, which means he's been known to have some real galaxy brain takes on the state of the team.
I think it's like a coping mechanism at this point. He's probably one 2-15 season away from turning into a RL version of the meme of Charlie Day plastering a bunch of post-it notes to the wall. He'll be standing there explaining to his family how the next breakthrough in stem cell research will allow John Riggins and Joe Theismann to come out of retirement and lead the team to another Super Bowl.
I can either be mad or look at the bright side.
Zorn into Shanahan was bad. RGIII brought me back in. We know how that ended up. I tried to really gave up on this franchise was after Jay Gruden's first year. Then they benched RGIII and had a competent season and made the playoffs with Cousins. Then they had a few more disappointing seasons.
I about gave up before Rivera's first year. Then they had the fun COVID playoffs run. Got me on board. I have a couple more disappointing seasons before I give up again.
