Unlike a lot of people, I actually like the structure they have now. Yes, Snyder is involved, but I get the distinct impression that his part in making football decisions is diminished now with Gibbs having more pull, and with Williams having a say on the defensive side of things. When it comes to financial matters and contracts, that's where he comes in. Vinny is a glorified scout, and don't forget about the cap expert who's name I can't recall (Scott something???). I'm sure he is involved in the decision-making to some extent.

Is it the right way??? Who knows....But there are certainly teams out there with a traditional GM set-up that aren't doing any better!

If they were to get a GM, who would it be? Someone older that has GM experience (and like some players, may just be looking for a "Redskins payday"), or finding an up-and-comer from another team that may be more of a risk? Either way, people would probably criticize them just as much....

The bottom line is that it doesn't matter how they do it, as long as they put more W's on the board. Until that happens, everyone will criticize.
