Now that we have a franchise QB and are winning games, I wonder if people will start giving all of the credit to Snyder.
Not so fast. Things appear to be falling into place when Dan Snyder takes a step back and leaves the business of football to the people who know football.

Except he did that for the last for years with Gibbs. He also gave full control to Marty and he wanted Spurrier to have more control (though admittedly not full control) but Spurrier didn't want it.
I'm telling you...don't sleep on Scott Campbell!

I'm not hating on anybody today -- Can't deny that Cerrato has found some diamonds in the rough with H.B Blades, Chris Horton, and Stephon Heyer (even though he was out today). They are making incredible contributions and they cost us pretty much zilch.

Agreed, but he still has his hand in the cookie jar quite a bit with his buddy Vinny Cerrato. Although, if he continues to act more like Pat Croce than Jerry Jones, I'll be able to tolerate that money grubbing midget much more easily.

Props to Dan, he's come a long way. I think that after hanging with Joe Gibbs for 4 years Joe's wisdom rubbed on him.

And who can forget the way he acted after the death of Sean Taylor.
He's the real deal.

Thank God we have an owner who cares. We could have Al Davis, or the folks in Detroit for owners.
Snyder and Cerrato have done a great job managing the cap, finding some diamonds in the rough, and having faith/confidence in Zorn/Blache.
EDIT: As Smoot said, I'll bet a majority of the solid personnel decisons are being made by Campbell and Cerrato is getting out of the way and letting this guy do his job.

I think it's great. Snyder has been guilty of trying too hard, instead of trusting his people. Being a small business owner I can understand how that happens. I've learned to hire good people and let them do what you hired them for, and I think he has too.

He said that Gibbs above all taught him patience. I imagine as the owner of the #1 franchise in the #1 sport in the world it was a hard lesson to learn.
