The State of the Redskins (MERGED)

[CrazyCanuck]

I can't understand why people still insist on blaming the front office for the acquisitions of the last couple years.

When Coach Gibbs returned it became HIS team. Do you really think Gibbs has been overruled on even ONE decision since he got here? Same goes for GW. This is HIS defense. I'm quite sure Clark, Arch, Carter, etc. were all his decisions. All the front office did was do everything they could from a financial standpoint to get these guys signed up.

I'm not saying we haven't made some bad moves in the last couple years. You guys can debate them to death if you want. But please put the blame or the credit where it belongs - on the coaching staff.

The last bad move I can attribute to the front office was breaking the bank for Lavar instead of Champ. Of course it was a pretty bad move...

do you honestly think he has time to personally scout every player they sign (or that he's even good at that, since it's not really his job)?

he has to delegate, he already overhauled the scouting dept. once, but i'm pretty sure vinny and that FO still have a lot of say, simply because he doesn't have time to go over 800 college players and 200-400 FAs every year.

For me I have never been a Vinny fan so let him go. What he help do to the 49ers well he should be shot! What is wrong with this team is not just one thing. Maybe free agents do get FAT and Happy! You get all that green and are not hungy. One thing for sure something is really wrong!

I'm not saying that Gibbs and GW personally scout every player or that Vinny and co. have no say in the process.

But the chain of command is clearly defined on this team and when it comes to personnel decisions I'm quite sure Danny and Vinny are a few rungs down on the ladder.
