Our organization has been a cluster but wouldn't you say that the biggest reason it's been a cluster is because of a lack of quality talent evaluators?

We had Vinny supporting Gibbs, we had Vinny running the show with Zorn, we had Allen supporting Shanahan, and now just Allen.

Giving Gibbs and Shanahan full control was a fine decision but they don't have time to do all that work themselves. They needed strong scouts supporting and making recommendations and they didn't have it.

So if you're McCloughan, don't you have to love the situation you're stepping into? You have an owner willing to spend a lot on players. You have a coach who's not going to try to wrestle power away from you. You have a team president who understands his shortcomings here and will allow you to do your job. If I'm McCloughan, I view myself as the missing piece of the puzzle in Washington. It's actually a good situation.

That said, we're so dreadfully lacking in talent right now that it's going to take some time for him to turn things around. That, and we have no idea if we have a QB or not.

It's an uphill battle but if I'm McC I'd much rather work for the Skins than the Raiders or Jets or whoever.
