[Quote random guy] I cannot believe we took this bum Merling at 21 ! He hasn't started more than 2 games . Vinny is an idiot especially when you think the Falcons were dangling three (3!) second round picks for our 21 - we could have seriously upgraded our WRs which must be the worst in the league , I meen we could have got Devin Thomas and someone like Malcom Kelly with those picks .. I meen this is the WCO we NEED big receivers and who have we got a Giants PS reject and McNobody..Vinny has to go Snyder is to blame ...etc etc [/Quote Random guy]

Now given the fact that no one in our FO can see into the future you have to go off how the players play in collage . It is so much easier to guess who is going to be good 14 weeks into a season rather than on draft day ...

Okay, clearly you're a Vinny defender. And I love how you put the word "fans" in quotes -- as if to imply that those who criticize the front office and their draft selections are really imposters who are only posing as Redskin fans.

I'd like to ask you though, what is it about Vinny Cerrato and his track record as a personnel guy that you are so eager to defend?
