2) We gave up zero picks to get him
3) The OC (and HC) strongly advocated going after him

Anytime we get a "big name" player, out comes the "Well there goes Dan Snyder, playing fantasy football again" rants. Simply amazing

That's interesting. So to try to form how things went in that regime, when the oc said hey I don't like something, did it really didn't matter? To take that further, was he allowed to game plan and even call plays effectively? I expect the hc to have a say in every aspect of the team, but to constantly be second guessed or restrained at every turn probably is frustrating. Seems like having a say in who is your qb is a pretty big deal.
