This roster while incomplete, has a plan now attached to it. If he was able to win 10 games with this roster, he should have been up for coach of the decade. Now I know what you will say, he compiled this roster, which is true. To that I also add you can't reset a roster and stockpile it with exactly who and what you want. That's a Madden mentality. There was nothing on either side of the ball to build around when he got it so we are seeing about 30% of the work done but he still had to have 53 men on the roster.
The biggest mistake was not keeping Campbell at QB. Sure he's flawed, no doubt but that would have avoided the McNabb error and Grossman's grossness. But that ship has sailed so focus goes forward and his Redskins legacy rests on drafting a QB in the 1st round this year. He's not going the Manning or Flynn route. He has to fix this position, long term, and he know this. You or I have a better chance at being the QB next year than a Tannehill or some other second tier QB prospect.

Good logic here...but hopefully Shanny isn't guaranteed five years regardless of performance. A franchise hoodwinked for that long is a rare thing.
