Really we need to sweep out so much of the old, oft injured veterans here and truely commit to starting over - even if it means a couple of years of tough rebuilding. I think it was Tony Dungy that said you can't rebuild only going halfway - you got to do it all the way and that means wholesale turning of the rosters and a commitment to youth. No more firesale trades giving away draft picks for a need because we think we are one player away - we need to start being like the Patriots and trading our players who are approaching 30 to get other teams picks. Now of course with this change in philosphy you need really good scouting and that will of course be part of the change and why Vinny would be shown the door as he is more tuned to free agents over the draft.
By the way you make an excellent point about the Cowboys and ever since Jerry Jones took over and became the GM it has been a long 13 years without a playoff win for them and many more to come until he wises up and does the same thing - so for that matter Jerry please keep up the great job you are doing!

We're not too much better. We've won two playoff games in 15 years? We won't be winning any this year so that makes 16. Like GTripp said AT LEAST Jones puts his name on it. The buck stops w/ him. He doesn't hide behind his puppet and he doesn't hide from the media like a little baby.
