BREAKING NEWS: Cerrato resigns (Bruce Allen hired as VP/GM) - merged

Certainly you can argue that there are better choices than Allen out there, bu for the five plus years I've been part of this board the two most common sentences I've seen written here are "We need a GM" and "We need to get rid of Vinny"

Well in one morning, we did both....and we still complain

Nothing's ever good enough. If we hired Belichick or Tomlin there would be complaints too. Some of these people want a coach that won 5 superbowls in 3 years it seems, but it would've been better if he won 6.

How the hell are people complaining? We just got rid of Vinny Cerrato. This day should be declared a holiday. Kids should be let out of school, shops should close, and people should come home from work.

Because people like to complain for the sake of complaining and pull stuff out of their asses and say they are facts.

You mean people pull facts from history at share it with people who have thier head burried so deep in the sand they can't see what's going on? Allen's record speaks for itself. Under 500. he's no Messiah. Everyone WANTS him to be, but there's nothing in his record to suggest that he's going to be a "real GM" here or that he will bring any measure of success to this team.

I'm not! I'm very happy that Vinny is gone.

Right now, i see Snyder manipulating the fans into thinking something's changed when, really, nothing has. The dysfunctional front office structure remains the same - only the players have changed. If you didn't get a chance to listen to Mike Wilbon on the Tony Kornheiser show this morning, then you should.

A character in Snatch said, "Don't piss in my bucket and tell me its raining." By all apperanaces, that's exactly whats happening here. Snyder fired one yes-man and hired another. Allen has never been a "real" GM before. He's only been a yes man. If Snyder wanted a real GM, he wouldnt have hired Allen. Snyder has lead a dysfunctional franchise for so long, he doesn't deserve us to suddenly beleive he has changed now. He doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt.

Time will tell, but i'm remaining skeptical until proven otherwise.

The fact that Marty and Beathard both are effusive in praise of this move and Dan in this move argues against that.
