Here are my thoughts.

Biggest Skins problems prior to changes

1. Owner (can't change)
2. Need a legit GM (done!)
3. Need a legit Head Coach (done!)
4. Need to fix Oline (improved from disaster to average +)
5. Need to get legit WR's (not done..hoping on 3rd yr guys)

The need for a new QB and RB competion were not high on my list.
However, the front office was certainly looking to make a scapegoat out of someone and they made this known a year ago by shopping for a new QB. McNabb was not neccessary, however, his upgrade is fairly obvious...so, I am totally onboard with that move. Competition for Portis is fine too, but that is only a depth move with no real threat to the lead RB role.

Defensive scheme was certainly not on this list as the 4-3 was fine...in fact it generated more sacks in years...anyways...Haslett is arguably no better than Blache historically...and the scheme shift along with the ruckus it created with our big baby may inevitably hurt our teams greatest strength...Defense...we arguably should have left it alone.

But here's the big point...many LONG TERM redskins issues were resolved.
A LEGIT GM!!!
A LEGIT HEAD COACH!!
A new Front office.
And a potential change in attitude with our owner who has been quite hands on....possibly due to lack of true faith in Cerrato.

Players and schemes change...but what the Skins needed was a total overhaul in Front office structure. That was the change that was needed...
So say what you want about Zorn...but his crappiness led to these big moves that will pay dividends for a decade or more
