" TomKat's appearance at the Minnesota-Washington game exemplifies why Snyder will never win a championship. Never, ever, never. That is the most stone cold lock of a football guarantee ever made."

What?? Sportswriters who make predictions like that have some telepathic link to the future are just stupid. It's called how to set yourself up to look like an idiot at some point.

Overall sounds like a 2-page rant by a guy who's mad that Snyder has made more money than he ever will. I never understood bashing the rich - Snyder, Bill Gates, whoever - just because they're rich. They've suceeded at a level that few people ever will and have obviously accomplished a lot - why bash 'em because they've succeeded?

Paris Hilton is rich but she still deserves to be mocked constantly.

oh....my....god...reading that was like listening to the MicroMachines guy in the 80s.

You make a lot of good points, but ignore the fact that Snyder appears to be doing exactly what you suggest is the only thing he is good at - writing checks. I don't think anyone would argue that Snyder tried to micromanage the organization in his first years here. Now, however, Gibbs is in charge of personnel, and Danny-boy writes the checks. Snyder still has some say, but Gibbs is calling the shots.

Again, you point out a lot of things that were legitimate gripes about Snyder three years ago, but it's a much different power structure now.

You beat me to it I see. Snyder said it was all FRPLG's fault so let's just blame him

He's definitely right.

I wish I had the chance to screw this team up. I wouldn't.

SmootSmack · 09-13-2006, 08:11 PM

But Snyder does make the owner decisions, and the football people (Gibbs, Ceratto, Saunders, Williams, Riddick, Mattyk, whoever else) make the football decisions. Gibbs and co. never have to wonder will they get what they want because Snyder gives them whatever they feel they need to win.

He has admitted he made mistakes in the past and he's matured and changed his ways. So I don't know if you're saying after one game that we can call our offseason acquisitions busts and just blame Snyder or if you're still upset about something that happened 6 years ago.

Either way, ask yourself this. Would you rather he just sat on his ass and didn't put any efforts into the team and said no to repeated requests from the coaching staff to open his checkbook?

Ralph Wilson, anyone?

No man you wrong. Snyder has the final vote on personnel decisions. He can overrule gibbs. You really think gibbs put his stamp of approval on all of these free agents we aquired this offseason? I beg to differ. But that is just my humble opinion. He is doing more than just signing the checks.

Technically Snyder may have the final decision in personnel, but I seriously doubt he exercises that right nowadays.

You're wrong. You think Gibbs would be here if Snyder had any control of football decisions? I know three things. 1-Snyder is a meddler. 2-Gibbs won't stand for medddling. 3-Snyder would bend over for Gibbs because he is in love with the guy.

All that equals Snyder writes checks and does what Gibbs wants.

Well he is the owner but I don't think he's going out there telling Gibbs who he has to keep and has to get rid of. My whole thing is, why is it that no one can let go of what happened when he first got here. It's almost as if I would say back in February of 1983 "Well sure Gibbs won the Super Bowl, but he started 0-5 so what good is he really?"

I mean the guy is making the effort to put the best product on the field, at least I believe so. And I think others would agree. No one will be satisfied until he wins multiple Super Bowls, even then it won't be enough for most.
