There has been a lot of discussion about Coach Dan Quinn and whether he should be named Coach of the Year.

I also feel Adam Peters should be in the discussion for Excecutive of the Year.

Last year, it was Brad Holmes of the Detroit Lions.

Considering the moves Peters has made to turn this team from a 4-13 laughingstock to a 12-5 serious playoff team in just one season, deserves recognition.

What say you?
 
As you perfectly state, he has to be in the running. The complete overhaul of the roster, the incredible improvement in record, the salary cap space we now have, etc. etc.
 
No exec in the NFL did more for their team in the offseason than Peters did here in Washington.

The amazing part is that you can't find a single bad move on Peters' part. Not one.

Maybe Lattimore. One can argue we overplayed at least given his unavailability

On the surface it doesnt look that great but if having him help mask a not so great secondary and it helps us win a game or two in the playoffs this year....this year at least would have been a good deal. Beyond this year though I have a hard time seeing him shaking off what appears to be a chronic hamstring issue. Would love to be wrong but going into the offseason thinking that Lattimore will be a reliable (health wise) shut down corner for us going forward would be a mistake. Im sure AP is more than aware of that gamble though. Hopefully he proves us wrong though.

I think he should win it.

K Brandon McManus 😎

Well, to be fair, the McManus allegations and the subsequent lawsuits took place after his signing with Washington. Perhaps due diligence could have identified them prior. Perhaps.
 
Yeah, I can't imagine the McManus stuff (assuming it's as bad as reported) was some isolated incident. Feels like we missed on the character screen on that one. As far as Lattimore, it's a hamstring, not like we brought in a guy who's had 2 achilles tears. Yeah, I guess it could be a chronic thing that limits his career... but while some guys might be more prone to hamstrings than others, it's not typically an injury that submarine's someone's NFL career. Guys like Lattimore usually aren't available in season unless there is some kind of an issue. I suspect next year we will be viewing him as a steal, not a problem.
 
It's weird. As important as kickers are, I think they never receive as much due diligence as other positions. When a kicker goes down, the team brings in four or five guys and whoever perform best during that practice seems to make the team. So, I can believe Peters and his staff failed to dig deep on McManus. It seems par for the course for how the league deals with kickers.
 
Yep. And here's the other part. The NFL is still a largely mysogynistic organization that seems to always be several decades behind society in general when it comes to culture, morality, etc...

We've had owners revealed to be disgusting human beings. We've had workplace scandals. They parade females around on the field dressed like strippers. Things like harassing and being inappropriate with a flight attendant are probably routinely 'acceptable', kind of like sexualizing massage sessions, until you're caught doing it and it's publicized. Then all of a sudden it's a big deal.

So there's that.
 
Sadly, I think that may be true. Though I hope if something like that pinged on Peters' radar that he would've chosen differently. Clearly though, the Browns are an excellent example of what you are talking about. Trading for Deshawn Watson AND then rewarding a guy under that cloud with an insane contract is more than giving the guy a second chance, it's thumbing your nose at all his alleged victims and everyone else who's suffered like that.
 
I am not suggesting Peters and Company aren't light years ahead on this kind of stuff. I think we finally have smart, classy, moral people as owners and front office staff. I'm just saying that when we bring players and staff into the organization, there is always going to be an element of 'who is this guy?' and does he fit the level of character and behavior that we want and need in DC. I think as Die Hard stated, they just blew this one. On the other hand, even though technically the charges were dropped, I think the team knew that what was reported was likely accurate and cut him, as they probably should have.
 
Oh, I wasn't arguing with you. I believe you could be right. Idealist me would prefer to believe it was lack of due diligence versus turning a blind eye. I suspect that the issue you may be alluding to, and I don't doubt that you're right, is that when they do their dive on players that kind of stuff isn't something they look for.
