Pains of Being a Redskin Fan - QB catastrophes

Every football pre-season I begin growing a goatee in a pre-arranged & wife approval facial hair ritual. The goal is to keep the beard as long as possible - until the Redskins are out of the play-offs. Ideally, if they take the Super Bowl, I 'm bearded for a full year and thru the next season, much to the wife's chagrin.

No such luck in recent years (let's say the past seven or so....) And once again, I'm clean shaven before Thanksgiving. Although last year had a wonderful comeback, putting the kid in for QB overwrote and any statistical possibilities in my book.

I'm ready for Campbell. Its even my little girl's name (although not by intent). Play well and learn quick, Jason (please ...).

Here are a list of the atrocious QB roster decisions we've endured. The crimes of who we let go or didn't start, although hindsight, are still blindingly painful.
