Re: Kudos to Dan Snyder and Vinny Cerrato
In the past I have been a critic of D&V for their high dollar/ high profile/high bust rate of the past (2001 to Gibbs arrival) as it relates to free agency and player personnel decisions. We consistently had the highest payroll combined with consistent losing record. Not a great track record.
Which is why some people do not like VC because Dan Snyder seems to hold a diffrent standard for him. DS keeps VC around for some reason despite some really poor seasons. Maybe by firing VC it would require DS to admit to poor FO management? Then Gibbs arrived and our poor habits diminished. We made the playoffs for the first time in years. I am glad to see D&V have stayed on the Gibbs course since Gibbs left. It is too early to give Kudos, but I like what they have done so far since Gibbs left..so far. I do not like to second guess player personnel until the players have a chance to prove themselves on the field. But the only move I have second guessed recently is the 3rd draft pick (TE). At a time when we are getting very old in the offensive and defensive lines, a 2nd team TE seemed like a luxury pick. We will see. My only concern is we are one of the oldest teams in the NFL. Guys like Jansen have have not made it through a season with out missing significant time since gas was under $2 a gallon. Our starting LG is pushing 40. Two of our better DL (C. Griffen and Phillip Daniels) and Shawn Springs are old. My only concern is their replacements have not stepped up on the field and proved they are ready to take over. |
