Half Assed Rebuilding Mode

[KI Skins Fan]

BleedBurgundy, I think your observations are right on the money. That's why, in my frustration, I started a thread asking someone to please try to convince me that the FO knows what it's doing.

Over the last few months, I have come to believe that Vinny and his staff do know what they're doing. Now I believe that the problem is Dan Snyder alone.

I think that Snyder just cannot resist injecting himself - in a bad way - into what should be the orderly process of building a contender. Possibly DS is just too impatient to go through the process or perhaps he just thinks that he knows better than the professionals he hired. Maybe he just enjoys being large and in charge. I don't know why but I can't envision him changing anytime soon.

They say that even a blind hog can find an acorn now and then. So let's all hope that Snyder is that hog and that Sanchez is that acorn because I believe that DS will do everything he can to land Sanchez in this draft regardless of whatever plan that Vinny and his staff may think they are implementing.

The impatience of the front office in the past would make it hard to believe that they would be able to tolerate losing seasons in order to "get better in the end".

The FO mentality seems to be like a gardner who plants a tree one week and then digs it up every other week for the next year to see how the roots are developing. That gardner knows just enough to be dangerous; he knows that without a solid root system, the tree will die. What he does not realize is that by "inspecting" the root system he prevents the tree from developing properly.

Before anyone thinks this comment is some kind of "hate message" for Danny Boy and Vinnie Boombatz, it is not. It simply reflects how this franchise has done business for the last decade. And it has not worked all that well...
