The Haynesworth deal, tying up so much money, I agree that's on Snyder and Cerrato (and Mara for the bogus cap penalty when the Skins got out from under it).
The RG3 pick, I think that's on Mike Shanahan, as is our lack of talent. I don't think Shanny did that bad a job, but our OL and other position problems are currently Mike's responsibility (maybe in a couple years say its Allen or Gruden's lineup?).
And the RG3 pick could have still worked if Griffin Jr and Sr had listened to the famed head coach that picked him, and kept running the system Mike and Kyle whipped up for him. Guess we know now it wasn't the read option that was getting RG3 banged up and hurt. He's still a pinata back there, and can mess up his ankle just jumping up and down.
Yeah, I agree, should have put McCoy in. Shame, because if only Griffin would play like it was 2012, he could lead us to wins, while building on his pocket skills.

All the leaks point to shanny wanting cutler, manning and then tannenhill. But i dont care who made the decision. the answer will not help the skins going forward imo. we made an organizational decision to go all-in on a chance at a franchise QB .. and it didnt work out. i still like the decision to do what you can to land a potential HOF at the QB position. when posed with a similar decision in the future, I hope the answer is yes. albeit, a better scouted decision.
I dont think the 2012 formula was sustainable. what the shannys' did in 2012 was magical. it was special. the combination of RO, shanny's zone blocking scheme, Alfmo being a perfect zone runner .. lead to many of RG3's first and only read being wide open. in 2012 you heard rumblings that Kyle wanted RG3 to be better at reading the field but had to limit his passing plays to just be focused on one half of the field to simplify it for RG3.
