I think everyone on this site agree’s with you but we have all come to the conclusion that as long as napolean owns the team, no respectable gm will come because it boils down to the fact that he wants to play fantasy football with our team and any self respecting gm isn’t going to let the owner make the final decision on players when the owner knows jack shit about the game.

I hope it happens but Napoleon didn’t go away easily…

But, first of all, I don’t like the Napoleon comparison that ppl make for Snyder. Napoleon was a master strategist, and, as we all know, Snyder isn’t.
Also, I definitely see how Gruden “inherited” his Super Bowl team (even though the Bucs played that year against the Raiders team that he constructed), but who is the second guy you referred to?

Other than that, though, I agree. A new GM is needed. The team doesn’t need a lot of work, but it needs someone who knows how to build a complete team. As far as starters are concerned, Snyder and Cerrato have pretty good talent there. O-Line (as we all know) is falling apart and has been neglected, and Orakpo is starting at LB because we don’t have anyone else to put in his place, but I’m happy with every other starter. If they sit Portis down for a little while and let him get healthy, it’ll be good in the long run, and that contract might not seem too long (what’s gonna happen, we’ll lose to winless teams?). With good protection (as we saw last year), JC can make a couple great plays every game and protect the ball. But our depth sucks. I think we have two backup LBs, no legit backup FS, and our current starters on the OL should be backups (at best). CB backup is wearing thin, there’s a lot of running backs, but no one but Betts is doing anything for us (and he’s not doing a lot). Collins is fine as a backup right now, but he’s old. Of course, our D-Line depth is among the best in the league, but we’re starting the wrong guy opposite Carter.

But if it isn’t Danny is going in the completely opposite direction he should be going. He wants to find a coach that will let him continue to make awful personnel decisions.

And that’s why I say the problems with this team are at the owner level, not below it. There are a lot of people clamoring for VC or Zorn to get fired as if the real problem lies at the level but it doesn’t. The problem is at the owner level. So be prepared for many more years of mediocrity (if we’re lucky) or suckage.
