Interesting read on Charley Casserly and what he is up to. Doubt he will ever come back to Redskin Park but according to Shapiro he lives back in DC now and did not get the NFL position he was seeking....

I just read this too, good post. I don't see him comin back, but this article shows how our front office lacks contacts & networking w/in the league, IMO, and CC at least did a good job of finding out about players. If he were here we wouldn't have signed AA.

Didn't Casserly draft Heath Shuler?
Didn't Casserly draft Heath Shuler?
I'd blame that on Norv.
It was a lose/lose that year anyway, it was either Shuler or Dilfer.

You can't 2nd guess that one. Everyone had Dilfer and Shuler as can't misses at the time.

That's true, but it's also ture that Dilfer is the prime example used in the arguement that a team doesn't need a good QB to win a Superbowl.

Take a look at this link of the 1994 draft...there were PLENTY of big players on that list, but that might have been the worst QB draft year of all time.

Quite true. I am a huge SEC fan and I think if you asked anyone who followed the SEC if Heath Shuler was going to be a good pro they would have said yes.
What the current front office does not do is somehing I wish someone at Redskin Park would be able to pull off was the trade Casserly made with Mike Ditka when we got all the draft picks from the Saints - absolute steal.
But I don't see Gibbs working with any GM as he wants to prove to everyone that holding down both the coach and GM positions can work.
