Thats funny. I didnt know that. It doesnt shock me though because Snyder has had his hand in player moves every year except when Schottenheimer was here in 2001.

Actually alot of Eagle fans hate Lurie. The Eagles have won alot more than the Redskins over the last 10 years but thats more McNabb and Reid than Lurie. Give me a owner who spends and tries his hardest to put his team in position to win.

He isnt one of the top 2 or 3 owners. If anyone says that they are nuts. I will say though if im a fan I want to go into the season with a feeling that my team has enough talent to compete. Some teams fans go into a season with no hope because they know there team cant win.

I think Snyder is a better than average owner right now. If he really gets out of the "GM role" he still has with the Skins he will move up higher on my list into the top 2 or 3 owners. Cerrato is kinda the GM but I know Snyder still has his nose in the player moves and that holds him back from becoming a great owner. When the Redskins finally have a true GM and Snyder just signs the checks the Redskins will win alot more and he will become one of the best owners in this league.
