Well, I think we could all agree that Al Davis and Matt Millen put forth "effort," but that certainly isn't enough to warrant a pat on the back for them.
Don't forget also, trading for the #3 pick in the 2000 draft wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for Charley Casserly. He was able to accomplish one of the key things that the championship teams are doing now that Snyder and Cerrato haven't done and apparently don't care to do: stockpile draft picks.
And the Clinton Portis debate has been played out ever since he got here. But count me as one who says that we got the shit end of the stick with that one. Portis just hasn't been the game-changing, 'ultimate weapon' we thought he'd be. Champ would have stayed if Snyder signed the check. He kept Lavar instead.
