Vinny is a lot more knowledgeable than people give him credit for, but the Steelers and Colts have five or six Vinny Cerrato's, and it's likely that none of them are quite as much of a prick.

Well said and I think all your points are correct. I think it's almost completely irrelevant what happens to Vinny. The only reason Vinny is here is because Snyder has wanted him here. It's allowed Snyder to be at least if not more involved than owners like Davis and Jones. If Snyder wishes to play the same game he simply brings in another "Vinny" and makes up a fancy title...anything to woo the fans. Until I see/hear specific evidence to believe Snyder is fundamentally changing his ownership philosophy (firing Vinny doesn't qualify) I think it's naive to assume otherwise...
...personally I think the FO only becomes more of a mess in the near future. Nothing about Snyder says he's gonna let go and turn this thing over to a professional. Vinny will stay. A new guy or new group will come in, essentially as a distraction from Snyder doing whatever behind the scenes. It's all blah blah blah out of Redskins park until the day Snyder says "I'm hiring the best GM available to run the Redskins" or something similar.
