Re: Redskins fire GM Scot McCloughan

Every time I listen to Scot talk I come away thinking worse of Bruce Allen.

When Snyder first fired Cerrato and hired Bruce, I thought it was a good solid move b/c Allen, even if not perfect, was clearly a significant improvement over Vinny. Unfortunately, I forgot just how low Vinny set the bar.

Changing the heaping barn full of freshly shat poop that was Vinny Cerrato into the big pile of poop that is Bruce Allen is, in fact, a vast improvement.

However, even after the change, you're still left with a big pile of sh**.

It's Snyder that's the problem. Even if Allen gets sacked Danny boy will just hire another sycophant who just wants a paycheck. Dan hires these guys so when things get to bad he can shuck the blame on them swear he's turned over a new leaf and repeat the cycle again.

This ^^^^. I said in this thread several pages back that to some degree, every top manager / owner, etc., wants to have a sort of "yes man".

This is a great post. Bruce Allen is playing the role perfectly right now, but as was the case with Vinny, Snyder will can his ass at some point

Money ball at QB is the worst idea ever

Nah, let's let KC walk, sign Brian Hoyer for 5 mil a year and let our guru's work their magic on him. Problem solved.

Isn't that what the Ravens did with Trent Dilfer?If I remember correctly they said he didn't have to win games just manage them,the defense did the rest.

A QB like Dilfer winning it all is the exception to the rule

Regarding the last sentence, I doubt that anybody on this site will be surprised.

Re: Redskins fire GM Scot McCloughan

The rumor is Eric S. is going to be named the GM. When I was out at the OTA practice last week a few of the employees at 980 had mentioned this but it was not confirmed.

Re: Redskins fire GM Scot McCloughan

Washington Redskins promote Doug Williams, Eric Schaffer

Does this really change anything? I feel like it confirms what we already know. Allen runs the FO ship with input from Gruden on the personnel side.

Some shuffling and renaming....not much to get excited about.
But if it creates stability, I'm all for it.
Lets win a Championship!
