3 Championships since 1989.


Yeah, the mans an idiot!

You make it sound like he did something great here. Over a 20 year period the franchise went up 10x. He had nothing to do with this, it is the NFL and how good of a job it has done marketing itself. Other franchises are worth alot more now then they were 20 years ago. You make it sound like none of them have gone up in value in the past 20 years.

Also 3 championships in a 20 year period is good, but once again other teams have done this also. And he had nothing to do with those championships, it was Johnson that built that team and is the reason they won those championships. JJ's ego couldn't handle the fact that Johnson was getting the credit and got rid of him and took control until he ran the team into the ground and decided to bring in Parcells who did a good job of rebuilding the team. But JJ is in control once again and the downward spiral has once again begun.

At least Snyder seems to have learned that it is better for him to just sign the checks and leave the football decisions to those that know what they are doing. It didn't take him 20 years to get there, thou JJ still hasn't learned.
