The Worst of Vinny

His drafting of multiple linebackers in the midrounds this year was the worst. If we were gonna put Rak at LB, we didn't need to draft Henson and Glenn. We could have used those picks on o-linemen.

We definitely didn't need both. I think I would agree with you there

I mean, that's relatively specific. Let's face it, that's a massive failure of Vinny's. I don't have a list of draftees he passed on or FA's he ignored, but all the flashy additions he's made without bolstering the O-line is like trying to strap a jet engine on a Pinto. It ain't gonna fly.

To me that's more about his overall philosophy, not one single decision.

In his 2 years as Executive Vice President, what do you think was Vinny's single worst player-roster move?

Try to be specific, not just "he didn't address the line"

Was it trading a 2nd and a 6th for Jason Taylor?

Was it drafting Malcolm Kelly after we had just drafted Devin Thomas and Fred Davis?

Was it not re-signing Marcus Washington?

Was it drafting a punter?

Hands down the worst move he ever made and he should've been fired for that move alone. That 2nd round pick could've been an o linemen. The guy didn't want to be here, he didn't train during the off season and he left after one year. Have faith in your backups. Hopefully the new guy will.

Of course, if we had kept that 2nd rounder, it's more than likely either Cutler or Sanchez is our starting QB this year.

I guess we can say that move was semi-sucessful.

I won't say Kelly, because if they get him involved more I still think that he can offer a lot to us. He barely gets into the game and when he does he's often running a "distraction route."

Let's go with Zorn.

Basically he's an IDIOT! He didn't believe in building a team from the draft (which is a winning way) he tried FA all the time.. He made some solid picks at times but mostly he was retarded.

if i remember correctly, everyone here except for i think 1 or 2 people, were happy with the JT trade, me included. i guess fans can be afforded the luxury of hindisght but GM/VP execs cant.

idk i just have trouble knocking vinny for the JT trade, of course we are not privy to everything he knew and have to make our assesments on the bare facts like: daniels done for season, JT was 33 (?) future hall of famer, our pass rush had been non-existent the year before, JT agreed to be here 2 years instead of 1 and retiring like he originally was inclinded to do.

That Jason Taylor trade was just downright awful.

count my vote on this one too
