[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Should other NFL teams respect the Redskins and want to play for them because the organization won 3 Superbowls in the past? That is like what FCV parents are asking Loudoun parents to do. Those Superbowls were at the same club but that success was on older teams, with different players. Why would we care how the 04s and 05s are doing?

Especially when those teams were formed when ECNL and FCV were the only options for top players. Those teams will of course be strong. Different time, different situation.

Show us some quality wins against quality opponents if you want our respect.[/quote]

You don't get it.  They don't care about your respect.  They only care about trying to recruit a few players that will help them get the results they seek.  They have been doing it for years, with teams that were "inferior" to Loudoun teams.  Maybe this year is the year it ends, but I wouldn't bet on it.[/quote]

You don't get it either. If you think the FCV 07 team needs just a few players to help them get the results they seek, I know for a fact that you do not know that team. [/quote]

Aren't they ranked No. 3 in Virginia with 80% win rate?  It does not seems like the team is struggling.  [/quote]

They are not playing in the top brackets of tournaments. Winning against lesser teams while it gets you points doesn't mean they are not struggling.[/quote]

They beat McLean, which is ranked No. 2 in Virginia.  Is McLean a lesser team? [/quote]

One win does not mean you are better.

Loudoun Black also beat McLean but McLean beat Loudoun Red. Does that mean Loudoun Black is better then Loudoun Red?

Rankings are not that useful.

Loudoun 06 is ranked above FCV 06. Are they a better team? Absolutely not![/quote]

But the argument was that FCV 07 is so bad that they need sweeping changes to be competitive against top teams.  OK, let's assume that rankings are not useful and their No.3 ranking does not mean anything, but nobody seems to argue that McLean is not a top team.  It would seem that even with current pre-DA roster FCV can compete against top teams, such as McLean.  It is a bit strange that Loudoun folks try to paper over abysmal performance of the club in ECNL by pointing to No. 1 state ranking of their 07 pre-ECNL team and then complain that FCV's pre-DA team's no.3 state ranking does not mean anything.
