Do you deny that Vinny has been responsible for the department that assembles and grades the reports on college and pro prospects? Is it your position that Cerrato has had nothing at all to do with duties of the scouting department?

This isn't about crystal balls or hearsay. It's about gathering the information we know about Cerrato's role with the team as head of the player-personnel, and drawing the conclusion that he sucks at it.

Well here's my position

As for what I think. I think it's evident this past season was the first season he had ultimate final authority. But no I don't think he had nothing to do with the duties of the scouting department or personnel decisions (good and bad), but the way you wrote it made it sound like Vinny was a one man band who just handed Gibbs a list of players he had picked and said "here choose one of these guys." It wasn't that simple.

In your original post you said Cerrato assembled the film and graded the players. In this one, you said he was responsible for the group that did the grading. That's a pretty big difference.
