I should know after wathing Jerry Jones drive this teams into the ground with poor drafts, trading 2 number 1's for Galloway and mismanage the cap by overpaying for aging vets and poor FA decisions

Until snyder follows the lead of the new Jerry Jones, my heart goes out to you guys--mediocrity will reign

I think Snyder has gotten a bad rap for his 2000 free agency spending spree. Aside from that year, he hasn't been going overboard during free agency. In 2001, we went after no one. In 2002, we didn't go after a bunch of guys. The 2003 free agency plans were directed by Spurrier. Our 2004 free agent spending spree was directed by Gibbs. This year, we hardly picked up anyone.

Agreed, the problem is we are not maximizing the draft, other than 2 top 10 picks in Taylor and Rogers, we really have 1 player that I can see, and that's Cooley, in 2 drafts that is it, and I wouldn't expect anything out of this upcoming draft considering we really don't have much of a draft left.

I really dont know where you see he doesn't spend big every year, but thats your opinion. And which leads me to your Spurrier remark. Exactly my point here lately, Spurrier led the spending spree and Gibbs led the spending spree. Why are they leading anything other than practice monday through sunday. That the part of a GM or a knowledgable football guy. I am not saying Gibbs is not knowledgeable so dont start with that crap. 99% of teams need a GM or talent evaluator. there are some exceptions, and I dont thing the Skins are one of them. In no way should a coach, especially one from college, direct a spending spree on free agents. Gibbs shouldn't either. I think he got caught up in all this free agency stuff and the deep pockets of the DANNY!. DRAFT , DRAFT , DRAFT.
