Nice Article on Snyder

[SOUL-SKINS]

Good read....this is why i've always liked Synder. Regardless of the stupid trades and shit that have gone down since he took over. He's a true fan. He just wants to win.

There are far worse owners than Snyder. Talk to people who are close to him, and I mean close as in they have close access to him, and they'll a.most all tell you-even those who have blasted him like Brian Mitchell-that he's very passionate about the Redskins and he's done plenty of good for the team, for the community, for his players.

His problem, as I've said over and over again is that he grew up a rabid fan of the Skins and struggled early on at least to separate the fan from the owner. Think of all the stupid, idiotic, moronic, comments that are made here everyday and then imagine you then had the power to suddenly act on the impulse of your idiotic post and do something about it? We need to trade Haynesworth for Sage Rosenfels ASAP, and throw in a 3rd rounder if that's what it takes!!! Dumb, right? But hey, whatever you're a fan, you're fanatical. It's your right as a fan to say some stupid things about the team you're passionate about. But now imagine you actually had the power to make that trade? Scary thought

That, and he listened to the wrong people when he first took over and that screwed him over for several years.

Come on now, do you believe everything you read? Practically every article written on him in recent times has tried to say the same thing. Can you say hype and propaganda? He wants to win, well that is what he is supposed to do, but to me he is way more businessman than fan. From what I have observed there are two ways to generate tons of revenue in the NFL, the first is to actually invest in your team in a rather intelligent way and build a team over a few years, and continually build on that even once you have a winner, or you can try the "chaos" model where you just keep everything in total chaos with the signing of high priced free agents, always changing coaches, etc with the win now attitude, keeping the fans hooked that the next regime will bring home the Lombardi. Snyder, Jones, and Al Davis have chosen the latter and have yet to produce a consistent winner. We will see if Shanny and Allen can do the job, but thus far they are fitting into the win now "Chaos" model perfectly. I bet in reality Snyder isn't all that concerned about getting a Lombardi as he is of raising the revenue stream and he can do that easier with the "Chaos" model.

I don't know what you been reading. But the Post kills Snyder, it's because of the media and the fans he even considered firing his BFF Vinny. I mean haven't you heard Riggins opinion of Danny? And your "Chaos evil scheme" is just flawed. Because he was on the phone with Gibbs until 4 in the morning trying to bring him back. Snyder may not be a great football owner, but he does want to win. And quite frankly you're the one stirring up propaganda and hype with that ridiculous idea.

Not flawed at all. If you can't build a winner or your plans fail, you just keep bringing in new faces to keep folks excited. Think Al Davis, the Jerry Jones of late. Also look at politics, we just get the same shit every 2,4, or 6 years, but different faces with different marketing packaging. Just because Snyder got Gibbs back eventuall doesn't prove anything. Gibbs coming back got the fans all excited, etc. I think Dan tries to win, but when he doesn't his fail safe plan is the chaos of just bringing in stud FAs or new HCs. It works in politics and business like gangbusters.

I was talking about after the 2007 season where Snyder was on the phone with Gibbs until 4 am trying to convince him not to retire. And he wasn't doing that for marketing packages or whatever conspiracy theories you have. He was doing it because they went to the playoffs. Now stop watching Fox News

Folks here seem to believe everything they read - - when the article says something they prefer to believe. However, when an article says something that they prefer not to be correct - - say like Albert Haynesworth being a lazy slug who might not play all that much in Week 1 - - then the author is a douchbag and doesn't know his ass from second base.


The events of the last decade would indcate that Danny Boy Snyder is more passionate about increasing revenues and net positive cash flow from the team than about winning. Part of the evidence for that would be that positive cash flow from the Redskins is estimated to be up by more than 80% in the last decade while the team has been a loser over the last decade. And now that Jerry Jones has his new stadium that can command much higher prices than FedEx can because FedEx is pretty much a dump, Danny Boy is going to have to focus even more of his attention on the revenue streams so that JJ doesn't beat him out as the highest grossing team/stadium in the league.


Actually that is good. He focuses on the $$$ so much that he loses focus on the team. He knows how to make money; he has no idea at all how to run a football operation.

Jerry Jones is the new Al Davis, not the other way around.

He's a horrible owner. Our team is a punchline thanks to him.
