Re: The Real Leader of this Team and Some Radical Ideas
Vinny has to go and we need a house clearing - why? Let me ask this - if Vinny and the Front Office and Zorn are so great how come the Redskins have one of the highest payrolls while also having one of the worst records? Sorry but a lot of people including a ton of posters on this board were screaming that we needed to address the offensive line and yet how often does this team invest its draft picks in the past 7 years on offensive lineman? Also every NFL team has got injuries - yes the Skins have a lot of them this year but I continue to say that the average life of an NFL player is 3.5 years - so if you build a major portion of your roster on players that exceed this average age you are simply playing Russian roulette with a lot more bullets.
While I hate the constant churn I think this is the best opportunity to clear house and start the first building block by selecting the best GM money can buy. Once you have this GM in place give him the keys - overspend first on your front office and scouting department, and than when this is in place let the GM hire the coach. All Dan Snyder would do is focus on the marketing of the team and signing paychecks. I think this give us the best chance of building a sustainable and competitive team year in and year out.
