I don't think anyone outside of Redskins Park knows precisely what Vinny does. We know he helps scout FAs and draft prospects, but beyond that we know squat. We don't know whether he supported or opposed the Duckett or Lloyd trades, or the acquisition of guys like Marcus Washington or Randy Thomas. That's precisely why I can't understand why people lay all, or most, of the blame for bad FO decisions at his feet. It's popular to find a scapegoat for any bad FO moves, but I don't think it's fair in the absence of additional information.

I think Vinny's most important function here is to let The Danny win at racquetball.
