That's what they keep telling us, but the same thing happened in Philly. They elevated one of Reid's people to GM, but Reid was still holding all the power, and the team never really contended again.
They brought in Jeff Garcia, AJ Feeley, Kevin Kolb, Michael Vick, Vince Young, Nick Foles, etc., trying to find someone to lead the offense, never developing a QB again.
They hit on Jackson and McCoy, but drafted few other players of any consequence. Maclin was the only first rounder that worked out for the rest of Reid's tenure.
I just think the alarm bells should be ringing when someone with a pretty good record in the draft is pushed out, leaving us with someone who has a mostly negative one in Reid, and someone in Veach who we are hoping may one day develop into what Dorsey already was.
Why did ownership feel this would strengthen the franchise and bring us closer to a Super Bowl? Anybody's guess.
