Grant cited that both Trent Baalke and John Schneider, General Managers of San Francisco and Seattle respectively, were raised in the Redskins front office and both left because they had no opportunities for growth. He envisions the same sort of thing happening with Morocco Brown and believes we just let a major talent escape us.
What you have done is paint a partial story that does not tell all the details as you are insuating them. Baalke was last with the Redskins in 2004. He left to go be the Western Region Scout in 2005 and was promoted in 2011 to the position of General Manager. It appears he developed in the San Francisco system.
Schneider was with the Redskins for one year in 2001. He left to take a position with Green Bay until he was promoted to GM in Seattle in 2010.
To characterize them as guys the Redskins missed on is quite a stretch. I will agree that the Redskins have been dysfunctional under Snyder but I think you painting a tainted picture. These guys had been gone for some time and developed with other organizations before becoming a GM.
who did we give away ? rogers ? and now brown
Keep in mind that my point was based on a historical perspective.
Lorenzo Alexander, (Special teams capt)
Lavar Arrington, (fromer R******* great LoL)
Champ Bailey, (Horrible trade)
Todd Bowles, (coach)
Jason Campbell,( way better than Grossman as backup)
Gary Clark
Chris Clemons
Stephen Davis
Derrick Dockery,(first time)
Trent Green
Russ Grimm(coach)
Jimmie Johnson, (player{TE} and coach)
Laron Landry,

dockery , money
johnson unproductive
landry bust
lloyd bust
lang bust
mayhew HUH? he got a job as GM with detroit and we let him down ?
manusky , left for better position so what ?
mccardell , over the hill as a player , couldnt beat out the guys in front of him and as a coach we had one of the worst wr corps on record
clark the guy got old
mitchell got old
monk got old
murphy gm he got the job with the pack when we had our GM position filled
now tell stymie cant i go thru this with every nfl team ? you think murphy and mayhew get jobs if the skins "talked bad about them ?
its the teams fault for not supporting busts ? for coaches who are poor at their jobs ?
shoot mithchell covers the team for comcast
and now we have done brown some diservice ? he got experience with the team and he took a better job with another team and we did him wrong ? foolishness
I did notice that you've only listed three as busts and that's respectively your opinion. The thread is about the team not keeping their own and clearly they like some other teams have not!!
Now to directly answer your question............Yes you could go through every NFL team, but that would be completely changing the subject and focus of this thread.
I have no idea what you're referring to in relation to Mayhew and Murphy, but I'll play, YES I believe that they both might have gotten jobs BECAUSE Washington talked bad about them. Consider the source type of thing.
This team has supported "busts" and "coaches who are not good at their jobs" for a very long time. BTW; couldn't you say this about every NFL team? Oh the irony!!
You've listed Clark, Monk and Mitchell as "got old" All three belong in Canton. Each had serviceable years with other teams before hanging them up, yet you insist the Moss be given the opportunity to get beaten out. A player who will only get a sniff at Canton if 100 years pass and there is a sympathy vote.
I never said that there was a disservice done to Brown, just that another of our own has left to become?????? somewhere else.
