Forget the cocaine allegations for a moment and you have a pretty decent picture of the Redskins in Norv's final season and the one glorious year of Martyball in DC.
A QB with great physical skills mesmerizes the owner who signs him and then wants him on the field. A coach gets fired when he doesn't play the QB enough and then the next coach cuts the QB because he was a bonehead. It's Dallas' turn now...

Great analogy Curmudgeon. |
Except we should've known better. Carter's skills as a QB were raw, but he was young, so they thought they could shape him. George's were very good (not for Marty-ball, but he's got a gifted arm), but he was a known malcontent evertwhere he played. Dallas made a mistake, we committed a sin.
