Report: Grossman Starting on Sunday

[44 70 chip]

Okay no ones gonna actually match them up so let me continue my narrative:

Snyder:
Tried to talk Berry Sanders out of retirement
Tried to lure Rickey Williams
Signs Jeff George and pushes him on the coach
Signs big name free agents all the time
Overpays in trades
Wants every QB flavor of the month (Cutler/Sanches)
Brought in several aging name QB's
Facinated by over the hill RB's
Signed Shawn Alexander
Traded for TJ Duckett
Overpaid for Clinton Portis

Shanahan:
Turns unheralded/late round/undrafted RB's into 1000 yard runners
Doesn't sign many big name free agents
Gets the better in trades
Drafts QB's tries to develop them
Never signed/traded for big name splashy vet QB's

Now lets put McNabb Willy Parker and Larry Johnson on one column or the other...

Shanahan:
Turns unheralded/late round/undrafted RB's into 1000 yard runners
Doesn't sign many big name free agents
Gets the better in trades
Drafts QB's tries to develop them
Never signed/traded for big name splashy vet QB's
Traded 2nd and 4th round picks for McNabb
Signed Larry Johnson
Signed Willy Parker

OPPS time to play "one of these is not like the other"! On the other hand:

Snyder:
Tried to talk Berry Sanders out of retirement
Tried to lure Rickey Williams
Signs Jeff George and pushes him on the coach
Signs big name free agents all the time
Overpays in trades
Wants every QB flavor of the month (Cutler/Sanches)
Brought in several aging name QB's
Facinated by over the hill RB's
Signed Shawn Alexander
Traded for TJ Duckett
Overpaid for Clinton Portis
Traded 2nd and 4th round picks for McNabb
Signed Larry Johnson
Signed Willy Parker

Ahhhh perfect fit....

Yes I know many of you are holding out hope that BA and Shanahan represented Snyder "turning a corner" "learning his lesson" or "handing over the reigns to the football people".

But I can't help but conclude that all circumstantial evidence and both persons "MO's" -- Especially given how McNabb and both runners have been handled by Shanahan -- point to Snyder's fingers still in the cookie Jar.
