I think you will be disappointed in Bruce Allen. He is a half a step up from Vinny.

Do you want your GM making these moves?

Big contracts for veterans past their prime. RB Charlie Garner, OL Todd Steussie, OL Derrick Deese in 2004 were the biggest names to disappoint after expensive signings.

The entire 2004 draft? When first-round WR Michael Clayton, with two TDs in the past four years, is your best pick, it's a rough draft.

Giving QB Chris Simms a two-year contract with $5 million guaranteed after he suffered a ruptured spleen in 2006. He played in just three games in those two years.

Picking WR/KR Dexter Jackson in the second round last year. Jackson, was active in just seven games, with zero receptions. Philadelphia's DeSean Jackson, drafted nine spots earlier, had 62 catches for 912 yards. Jackson is no longer on the team.

Of his 51 draft picks since 2004, only 23 were still with the Bucs at the end of the 2008 season. Of 33 unrestricted and restricted free agents signed under Allen, 17 weren't on the opening day roster in 2008.

Good luck Skins fans.
