A.J. Smith to be Redskins GM?

[mooby]

I voted no but I feel this question is more loaded than a yes or no answer can provide. I trust AJ Smith as far as talent evaluation is concerned, but I don't want him if his duties involve most aspects of a GM position. He always had a knack for getting talent in SD, but I feel he did not do a good job of negotiating in good faith with his talented players. How much of that was budget concerns from people above him I do not know, but I don't want him to be a replacement for Bruce Allen. If we are relying on him solely to evaluate talent I am fine with it.

Sounds like Allen isn't going anywhere, so yeah that's the scenario we're most likely looking at.
