TheLongshot Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 And since Snyder is anything but an NFL expert, he is likely basing a good job on him not liking some of the boneheaded signings like Archuleta, Lloyd, Duckett, (there had to be a few that he disagreed with) which are no-brainer idiot moves for the cost to anyone who has posted here for the past 2-3 years, yet Snyder probably thinks he's a genius for seeing that Archuleta is not in fact the best Safety in the NFL, or that Duckett isn't worth 2 first day draft picks for one year on the bench (JUST IN CASE), or that Lloyd isn't worth 2 higher draft picks than the Pats gave up for Moss, maybe he liked Merriman over Rogers, or didn't agree with the 2nd rounder given up in the Bailey/Portis deal, etc. To a lot of fans, its been obvious that the team is still making idiot moves, but to Snyder, who knows. :2cents: Personally, I only think Duckett was a bonehead move at the time. I understood the logic behind the Arch move, and that just didn't work out. The skins took a risk on a promising young WR, and it ended up not working out. Hey, not all moves work out. The important thing is to learn from those mistakes. BTW, the Patriots were one of the few teams that was going to get Randy Moss at a discount. Moss was only going to agree to a trade to a winning team, so let's not compare those trades. If they go out in March and sign someone like Reggie Williams from the Jags to a 7 year 33Mil contract will you still say the same thing? I mean, he did have 10TD's this year, right? And if he goes out and puts up 1200 yards and 15 TDs, everyone will say it is a great signing. Hell, people here probably would worship the signing because he's over 6 feet tall.

Titaw Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Dan Snyder learned NOTHING from Gibbs. He effectively set our team back at LEAST 5 years with the "promotion" of Cerrato. Not to mention the fact that the whole "continuity" issue has be chucked right out the window. I am guessing that in the next 24-48 hours we are going to hear that Jim Fasel will be the 27th head coach of the Washington Redskins. I am really, REALLY pissed about this. WTF is Snyder thinking?

Loxley Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 So basically he has a title now. Big whoop. Get me a great DE in the first round and then I'll be impressed. In case noone mentioned it he doesnt draft dline in the first 3 rounds, quote/unquote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDSKNfaithfull Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 OK I have slept on this and what was the point of this? The guy was already our team vice president. They added the word "Executive" and made a press realease? :whoknows: Danny is turning us into a joke again. It's back to everybody else in the league to start pointing and laughing again. Does anybody think Vinnys job day to day will change? I think he will have the same role as before this was just done for one of two reasons, ego or to send a message to somebody. either that or its just stupidity.

BAFGA Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Considering that the Offensive Coordinator and the Defensive Coordinator are all called something else, then I have reason to believe that Vinny is now General Manager. This is what Snyder calls a GM. At least there is a guy in charge...I'll give you that. It's a Snyder puppet, but it is someone at the desk.

RDSKNfaithfull Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 If he is the vice president who is the president? Its like saying Joe Bugel is assosiate head coach :doh: All said and done Buges is the O line coach nothing more. Whoes egos are being fed here?

Arsenic Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I think you all give Cerrato wayy too much heat. I think we have great players on this team. We made it to the playoffs, in the hardest division in the league, with our backups! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDRedskinsFan Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Who here thinks that they could have given Cerrato this title to throw the media a bone, and then get them off their backs about types like Cowher, Carroll, etc? Isn't this something they would do? I just thought the timing of this was weird to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_cavalierman Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 This is a good move because now someone is clearly accountable for the decisions with regard to the draft, free agents and the cap. Hopefully the Redskins will get a guy that can simply coach the football team. The salary cap dictates that the team is going to change so we might as well lay some ground work for a solid organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvisit1 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 As long as we don't have another Duckett or Archuleta (bad scouting) and he does a good job with salary cap management and keeps the guys we all want to be Redskins for life around (CP!!!), I'll be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abu69 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I have too much anger boiling over, and there are too many threads in which I want to express this recurring frustration. So i'm starting my own, simple, non-discussion-based venting thread. **** YOU DAN SNYDER AND **** YOUR LITTLE PLAYBOY VINNY CERRATO. **** you Dan Snyder for your coaching-search ego trip. Couldn't leave good enough alone, could you? No, not when all the credit G.W. might get goes back to Gibbs and not you. You let Joe have his fun, but now it's time to take the reins back because we all know the rousing success the Snyder-Cerrato power pak has brought us in the past! You're a wannabe Steinbrenner stuck in the wrong sport and you are slowly losing your fan base without even realizing it. **** you Vinny Cerrato for your quasi-GM-sinecure. You're a glorified scout with a brown nose and Gregg Williams could crush you in his bare hands. You are an ass turd. If I knew any more about you, I would have more to say. So, screw you for not giving me more to say. Whew. :rant: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
