3. Kudos to Mr. Snyder and Co. for standing pat...I know many stories will surface that you wanted MS I don't know and don't care..in the end you resited any temptation and you made a nice pick.
Amen brother.
There, you have it. For the record.

Dan Snyder and his best buddy Vinny Cerato are clueless. They have taken a respected organization, and drove it into a bottomless pit. We are the laughing stock of the NFL and there is no chance of things improving with those two clowns in chargeSkinsFreak wrote:SkinsSince96 wrote: Its not that I hate Dan Snyder.

Don't worry about that comment or conclusion, I understand completely. In hindsight, you recognize Snyder has made mistakes, as we ALL do. You recognize that all teams deal with mistakes and adversity (like Denver has been this offseason or like the Jags missing on three 1st rounders in recent years) and are willing to let those mistakes go and move on, because you're a fan of the 'team'. I understand completely and respect that.

I myself suscribe to every word in your post. So much for distancing from the views of one another.
Look DE, let us face it:
Some posters and fans feel that a criticism of the way the FO has been run for years under DS is an attack against the Skins. It is not. It is actually painful and frustrating to see that a few simple but important steps could allow this team to regain its glory days.
It is because we LOVE our team and we want it to truly succeed that we go to great lengths to prove that the owner and his FO are not capable to deliver a Superbowl Champion simply because they do not have the knowledge and they allow their egoes to run amok.
Our message is not pretty. We are forecasting failure if things continue in this path. That conviction runs precisely AGAINST the natural hopes and sincere expectations for success of many faithful season after season after season ...
And of course things are not desperate. The Skins are not the Lions and hopefully they will never be. But the mediocrity and incompetence of the FO prevents the Team from reaching the heights that we once knew.
I would be at peace with your fear of "temporary success". It will not happen. The Skins will not win championships under the current management scenario but they will not also fall to the bottom of the standings in the NFL. They will be there "in the middle" right about where mediocrity is defined.

I found out who Vinny's replacement is Bruce Allen and I just started shaking my head not saying Allen won't do a good job but this just looks like a typical Danny move.
Go get the closet thing you can find to the Redskin glory days to lure the ratings back up again and not searching for the most qualified person out there.
Allen better draft good that's all I can say!!! Vinny's two years of drafting was good but all the other area's like depth on the team and a coach that could coach is what I really did not like.
I guess that I will do more research before I say anything else.
