very affordable

this is what BA is good at. No we didn't win more with him (ref your sig) but we did navigate the salary cap boondoggle that VC had left the team.

I wish we could have had a good GM and a good contract guy and a good HC at the same time, but maybe we have 2, or even 3 now... Hopefully they all are on the same page.

What you say about Bruce is true. I've never said that Bruce is terrible at everything.

But what's the point of being more cap-friendly if we lose more?

He's looking to get paid! In the past, Vinny would have signed him! Thank God those days are over.

I guess the point iis that if we get a guy that knows talent and pair him with a strong contract/cap guy then we should be putting the team together the right way.

There is no point to comparing the W/L records of Bruce and Vinny. because both of their records were unacceptable. The difference between the two executives is that Bruce does some things well whereas Vinny was completely incompetent as Redskins GM.

For example, I thought that Bruce put a good plan in place for FA last year which he executed well, although the personnel choices could have been better. That plan put us in a position to sign DJax to a bargain contract late in FA. Vinny signed a fat, lazy, selfish DL with a bad reputation to a $100MM FA contract.

Now that we have a true personnel man in place as GM, I'm hoping that Bruce will prove to be a valuable resource in rebuilding the Redskins.
