And if that's true then it is the ultimate indictment on Vinny. Vinny does not have the authority or resume to stand up to Snyder and make him listen like Gibbs did. Snyder needs to have a GM or team president with a proven track record that he will listen to and respect. Snyder would not be influencing the decision over the starting QB if Gibbs, Shanahan or Holmgren were running the show. We didn't hear any of this for 4 years under Gibbs now Gibbs is gone for a year and rumors of Snyders influence are starting to creep up again and it's obviously not good if true.

From my outside point of view, I agree. I see Vinny as at least somewhat of a yes-man who will say "sure boss" to just about anything if he thinks that such agreement will keep him employed. And yes, if I am right, this is a bad thing.
