After all the crap I've seen I'm going to remain skeptical until I see results.

I mean there's good reason to be skeptical, the last guy we trusted to build a team was also the head coach that led us to a 3-13 year. There's a lot of trust we're going to have to put in Bruce Allen that he will be able to do this, and a lot of trust will be placed on Campbell and Brown to do their jobs effectively, because if they don't word will definitely get around the NFL.
We're basically placing our trust in a group of guys and saying,"ok now the onus is on you to prove you are a smart talent evaluator. Now go do it." Only way we'll be able to effectively judge them is in a couple of years. But I do think they deserve their shot, especially Morocco Brown considering there are teams out there that might be considering him for a GM job. If that's true then it says a lot about what other teams think of him, and if he's that valuable a piece I'd love to keep him and put him in a role where we trust him to evaluate talent. I mean personally, is this any more risky than hiring another guy who wants complete control over everything? There's risks in any move you make.
