This front office is perfect. What was I thinking.

Nobody's is asserting the front office is perfect. What I and the majority of posters are saying is that, since Gibbs 2.0 came around, we have been more conservative in our signings. And, since Gibbs 2.0 began, we are 11 - 13 and likely to have an overall winning record at the end of two seasons.
There has been a sea change at Redskins Park. The front office is marching to a different tune. Give credit where credit is due.
Rabach, Griffin, Washington, Springs. Good solid signings. Don't expect to see anymore Deion or Bruce signings. Expect them to occasionally sign a big name or two IF he has the right attitude and isn't asking for the bank (a' la Musin Muhammed). Expect them to occasionally take a flyer on an injured pro on the comeback and willing to play cheap (Barrow, Walt Harris). Expect them to make quality offers to their homegrown guys but not promise them the moon. Expect them to look for quality team guys who they think can make a difference.
Check back in 2007 - Then tell me what a crappy front office we have. I expect that it will continue to improve as Joe leaves his mark and teaches Danny a thing or two about how to run a sports team.
Are they gonna continue to make mistakes? yup. Do they seem to have learned from past mistakes? yup. Are they in the class of the Eagles and Patriots in terms of respect? Nope. Are they headed in that direction? Yup.
Sometimes I think people just gotta have something to bitch about.
