I cant think of one. However, I am not completely convinced the dumpster is full of oily rags. I don't know why but for some reason I think this off season is going to wind up OK in the long run.
I guess the way I read the tea leaves over the last three years is this:
year 1: SM is awesome, great draft headed in the right direction (alcohol free)
year 2: WTF was that draft about...GDI the free agents didnt work either...(not alcohol free)
year 3: Not going to let that shit happen again. Go get yourself together.
At the end of this year (possibly next year) Gruden could very well come out of this as a really solid foundation for a long time. If he can get DS to back off on RGIII and the front office to contain a drunk GM, while at the same time winning games, not too shabby. By this fall promote another GM from within and keep moving forward.
Thems is some Burgundy glasses I am sure, but I cant keep from thinking this is what is happening.
I am not a Snyder hater and tend to dismiss alot of the all things bad in DC are directly due to DS. First five years yes. Since then has been getting better over time.
