Cerrato, Most Improved...

Landry, Blades, Palmer, and even Heyer (along with a couple undrafted rookies; Westbrook and Marcus Mason) all appear to have a future in this league.
Is this a coincidence or could all the speculation be responsible for Vinny's apparent improvement.

Guy,

Lets not even think about talking about the draft class for a couple of years.

Landry looks like a solid pick but there is no reason in hell we should be talking about any of those other guys. They haven't done one thing yet.

Lets be honest here - we are still talking about a guy who is not a competent personnel person in the NFL. Furthermore, I don't think he has any real power within the organization. Most of the decisions are made through Gibbs.

If we had a competent GM we wouldn't be starting an undrafted FA at LT and journeyman at LG protecting our franchise quarterback and opening holes for our franchise RB.

EXCELLENT, I AGREE. A competent GM would not have traded all those mid round picks away, and depth along both lines could have been addressed in prior drafts. As we are currently seeing, the Skins are one injury away from a disaster of a season.
