Good personnel decisions are the single most critical factor in determining who wins and loses in the NFL. You absolutely can not be a top flight team if you decide that your key financial investments should be Adam Archuleta and Brandon Lloyd.
With that said, I see no reason why Dan Snyder should be unable to learn how to correctly evaluate talent. Evaluating talent in the NFL is hardly rocket science, it's just that there are a ton of misconceptions about how you can go about it. A monkey could be taught to make correct personnel decisions if he had a good enough teacher, so I'm confident that if Snyder wanted to he could become a good football guy.
The question is whether or not he trusts himself to learn from past mistakes, or if he would rather find someone to do the job for him.
