Scot McCloughan to be new Redskins GM

I'm already penciling in two pre season wins.

I couldn't be more happier with this move. Snyder has tried everything but hire a competent GM. He's hired HoF and a future HoF coach. He brought in big name free agents. He's tried hiring no name head coaches. This man has tried everything. Finally, I think he got it right. Scot McCloughan is one of the best talent evaluators and roster builders in football. If we can control his drinking problem he can do some great things. In my opinion, this is just what this organization needed.

Good move but until we improve I won't get to excited

So, where does this leave AJ Smith? Cooling his heels on the West Coast?

I am okay with that, but am just curious on the significance.

[SmootSmack]

AJ's role may not change at all at best. Very possible he's gone completely.

This move is just what the doctor ordered.....McCloughlin will be the best GM we have had since Bobby Beathard.....

I really like this move and hope the guy can keep his life moving up.

I am equally Glad that we're keeping Bruce (sorry Lotus). I still believe that Bruce has brought class & professionalism to our team.

Now Scott will help solidify our talent evaluations.

I believe that Bruce has made us off-the-field laughing stocks of unprofessionalism, which is why the Shanahans, instead of being vilified, are getting jobs.

This is one of my biggest arguments against Bruce, despite my early hopes.

Bro, we've been winning off the field. Did you miss Allen's presser? He explicitly said it.

By saying that he made us off-the-field laughingstocks, does that mean you think no one thought of this organization that way when Snyderatto was running the team?

He may have continued it, but made us that way? We were that way long before Bruce entered the picture.

Lol. Poor choice of words on my part.

In response to a claim that Bruce makes us look more professional, I should have said, "Bruce continues a brilliant lineage, one which includes Bozo the Clown, that makes us laughingstocks."

I graded a B. I am consciously optimistic, but his past stints ending with trouble have me concerned.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ahmad Brooks (Former Redskin Perry Brooks son) a FA and a player McCloughan brought to SF from Cincy is one of our 1st FA signings when the period starts. Ahmad is in his early 30's (maybe a year or 2 contract) he has plenty of gas left in the tank.

He is also from the area. My brother in law used to be friends with him. Although he did have some trouble here due to who he used to run with, it almost cost him his NFL career before he ever made it there (almost got him kicked out of UVA). So maybe he wants to avoid the area to not get back in with the wrong crowd that he already knows here.
