I like it. Bloomberg is a Tier 1 news outlet and I think the Post would be a better organization with higher standards under that umbrella it. Regardless of a Commanders bid, Bezos might want to unload the Post bc he’s reportedly bored of it and the initiatives he wanted done aren’t coming to fruition. Bloomberg is a logical buyer and wants either the Post or WSJ in his portfolio. He’d bring more value to the Post than the WSJ, IMO.

This is my problem with him, which is more of my problem with the franchise. He's a "VP of Football Operations" type not a GM. I am not impressed with our scouting department. Either a new GM needs to be hired where all he focuses on his constructing the roster, or a more competent scouting and personal department needs to replace the current one. I wouldn't even care what the title of this "GM" would be as long as his sole responsibility was designing the team. I'd be happy with Bruce Allen being the face of the franchise so Dan doesn't have to be and doing all of that stuff that you mentioned in your post. Bruce Allen seems like a fine guy to have around, but hasn't proven his meddle with roster construction. With all of his other duties, I don't know how he can possibly put in the work required to construct a superior roster.

When can we start judging though? Now might be too soon but the NFL changes rapidly and the Griffin trade can't be used as an excuse too much longer. Bruce Allen seems pretty entrenched in the franchise. That's just my opinion and speculation. It worries me. I have the same perception as a lot of others in this thread, that Bruce Allen is a good politician type but I'm not seeing a clear path to superior roster construction. He seems like a guy that should be "VP of Football Operations". I'd like to see a real GM in there or an empowered personal team that makes sound decisions. From time to time I review the Wiki on the Redskins draft history to remind me how poor it's been over the years. We appear to really suck at drafting. Bruce Allen needs to show a clear reversal of that trend. Whether that's through him or the people he hires to help make those decisions, I don't care. It just needs to be better. The jury is still out but I'm not totally optimistic. I am happy it's not as bad as it was at the end of 2009. We've improved, but how much did it take to improve on that? It's been awhile since Vinny was around, and we're still regularly in the NFC East basement despite not having a bunch of dead cap and bloated contracts.
