You had one but the FO blew that deal. The one that just left was going to smash Theismann's stats …. without the running game and defense Theismann had. Hopefully the new No. 7 can play as well as the guy we let walk.
I truly believe that the FO you refer to in this case is Bruce Allen w/ heavy influence from Snyder. Allen botched this one from the beginning. If he didn't want Cousins - fine - take care of that early on. You don't tag a guy twice & then kick him to the curb. If this team can work to keep Allen out of personnel matters for the most part that will should bode well for future success.
I realize that you will never keep Snyder out of these matters completely. However if he believes that the FO is competent I believe that his influence will be reduced. I also believe that there has been a relatively recent rift between Allen & Snyder & that this along with other things may explain why Allen doesn't really appear to be a major part of personnel moves at this time. Let's hope it stays this way.
