He brings up one interesting point: a lot of the excuses according to Cerratto for drafting so many (three) receivers was they were the best players at the time in the draft, almost implying it was fate. But yet it was clear that by their earlier pursuit of Ocho Cinco and Anquan Boldin that acquiring receivers was at the top of their wish list. Getting the three receivers might have been more by design than the claims they make now.
Another interesting point:
"Let's look more closely at the short term. Dead cap totals for the past three years:
1 Tenn - $65 million
2 Houston - $57 million
3 Redskins $55 million
4 Miami - $50 million
5 Denver - $49 million
Now, as we went over, the Titans got rid of Reese - who has had a long and distinguished career and has a strong coaching backround along with his front office work - and went with a new regime. Houston parted with Charley Casserly, who ran and put together that expansion team. Denver fired its GM a few weeks back - though much of the blame must go to the ubber-powerful head coach there as well - and Miami completely overhauled its front office a few months back, with The Tuna ushering in a new regime."
Cerratto is the only remaining guy left on that turd laying list.
Snyder who is quick to fire under performing employees, will not fire Ceratto.
That is a funny caption under the photo of Snyderratto, "Do they look like they know what they are doing?"
Funny.
