Battle of the bad GM's

This thread is like, which choice of death do you prefer? Being beaten to death? Or stabbed to death?

Who the hell cares about character. Bill Belichick is a complete asshole, yet he's a hall of fame coach.

Again, I don't want people to think I'm defending Allen, he's shit and has done terrible things. But I hear people say "I give Vinny a pass" or "things weren't that bad" and I'm like, really? Do you truly remember the complete and utter shit show the team was during his tenure?

Being a complete asshole doesn't mean he lacks character. From what I've heard through the years Bill Belichick is tough but fair, demanding but within the confines of the skills each player brings to the organization etc. He has been willing to accept the blame when things go wrong. He's an asshole but he's an asshole for the right reasons ultimately. I'll take that any day over a scumbag who couldn't care less about the success of the organization so long as it feeds his ego and his pockets. That Dan Snyder can't see through that is a damning statement on his ability to lead and his desire to see the Washington Redskins become a top tier organization again.

I can only hope that Fred Smith is starting to get tired of this shit show and walks into Snyders office with the $800 million or so that it would take to buy the 25% or so he would need to move into the majority owner suite and send Danny home to enjoy being a minority owner of one of the best franchises to ever grace the NFL.

agree, good post

Early buzz is that the Washington Redskins might want to move up for a QB in the #NFLDraft - perhaps that means leapfrogging the #Broncos - John Elway may have to move up if he wants a Drew Lock or Daniel Jones

Oh great. That worked out the last time.

Love the distinction between being an asshole and lacking character. Great observation.

I well remember Vinny, and he was a fool, but mostly Snyder’s fool. Bruce was an upgrade in terms of having a little more executive clout and a draft mindset. But look at how he’s used it and how the organization is now stamped with his poor character. Allen has very proactively turned this organization into crap, and he’s a coward for not owning up to it. And his executive skills are being used for the evil purpose of making Snyder think he’s worth a shit. For that reason, I’m kicking him first to the curb. Vinny wasn’t as talented, but that includes lacking the talent to stay employed.
