Dan Snyder is our GM.

Vinny is Mr. Smithers.

Ha! In that case, "anyone" is truly better than our GM!

Re: Would you take Charley Casserly back as GM?

All GM's have good picks and bad picks. Nobody is perfect.
Casserly took over as GM of the Redskins in 1989. So he basically can be credited for putting together the 1992 Super Bowl Team.
Casserly has been credited with unearthing undrafted FA's Joe Jacoby and Jeff Bostic.
He has also been credited for finding future probowl players 5th round pick Brian Mitchell, 4th rounder Stephen Davis, 12th round pick Keenan McCardell and 6th round Frank Wychek.
In regards to Brad Johnson, he arrived here and responded with a Pro Bowl season and lead us to the 2nd round of the playoffs. We were a bad snap on a very makable field goal away from making to the NFC Championship. We lost 14-13 to Tampa due to a bad snap. He drove us down the field against a very good defense to only have our long snapper F it up on a chip shot FG. Brad Johnson went on later to win the Superbowl with Tampa.

It wasn't a chip shot if I recall correctly. It was a fifty yard attempt.

How do you figure that?

And Matt Millen and Brad Edwards. There were very few articles about the team in those days that failed to mention all these guys (and that Casserly signed them) Why else would the name Fred Stokes be burned into my brain. I think Casserly was eager to let the press know that he had added the final pieces to the puzzle.

The typical 10th paragraph of an off-season article on the Skins would read something like:

"The Redskins were able to utilize Plan B free agency much more effectively than most teams around the league... blah, blah, blah ....critical to their Super Bowl victory... blah, blah, blah." I probably read that a hundred different times. I spent the entire decade of the 90's wishing that "Plan B" free agency had ended up as "Plan A" free agency because Casserly was so much better at the former than he was at the latter.

Wow he did all this? Wonder why they called Bobby Beathard the GM then?

At least we were in position to win the game.

Good luck getting the refs to throw that flag on the road. They never would have made it to the airport. The Conway kick was a 50/50 proposition at best.

How about instead of Casserly we lure Kevin Colbert of the Pittsburgh Steelers with large barrels of Danny's cash and a promise from the Danny that he will just sign the players checks and let Kevin Colbert run the team?
