But you're right I have no rebuttal for when I say Zorn wasn't Snyder's decision and the response is "Snyder needs to stop micromanaging" or it wasn't Snyder's (or Vinny's) decision to trade multiple picks for Lloyd and Duckett, and the reason is "Snyder needs to stop micromanaging" or that is not all uncommon for owners to meet with potential draft picks and the response is "Snyder needs to stop micromanaging"

Vinny has been with Dan Snyder even before he was owner. Vinny consulted Dan Snyder's purchasing group even before he owned the team way back in 1999.

Marty Schott's first order of business when he came to DC was to fire Vinny Cerrato, which he did successfully.

How did Vinny find his way back into the organization again? What normal employee is let go by an organization and just comes back to serve in the same capacity as before? Why not just choose another player personnel person after Schotty let Cerrato go?
It's safe to say that Cerrato and Snyder have more than a business relationship with each other. To think that Snyder doesn't have significant influence over Cerrato is absurd.
I personally don't think it comes down to Snyder micromanaging as it comes down to Snyder managing via his proxy, Cerrato.
