I'm sure Fenlon's letter touched Snyder more so than the MOUNTAINS of negative reaction at the games, in the media, blogs, message boards etc. Give me a break.

It didn't sound like Fenlon's was any better then the other negative reactions and it sounded toned down by this article I'm betting.

do you have peter angelos' number?

angelos did what snyder is doing now 3 years ago when he brought andy mcphail on board. the Os now have some of the best young prospects, with each year top 10 prospects in all of baseball being infused into the majors roster.

good for snyder thoo, as a fan who hates the way snyder does business in and out of the nfl, i do think he has swallowed some pride for the greater good.

If this letter affected DS so much why didnt he respond to it. I agree with others in that this is a form letter that may not have been mailed out as much as some suspect but in the end its a form letter. We thought DS brought in competent people with Gibbs 2.0 and nothing changed. I'll believe things have changed when I see the results that tell me so until then I'm going to stay a skeptic.

Maybe as a result of that type response, Mr Fenion will eventually denounce his anxiety and find his way back into the fold. His problem will be cured through winning.

Maybe this was the one letter that forced Snyder to take a look at what he's done....like the straw that broke the camels back, so to speak....

Ceratto is finally gone. Snyder has hired a competent staff and most importantly he has loosened his death grip on the FO reigns. That is all that matters to me.

The childish taking credit for the change in Snyder is all fun and games. Nobody really cares about the reason or who can take credit for it. Leave that nonsense to the insecure folks that are dieing for the attention and credit.

This article does serve is an important purpose to remind Snyder to be careful not to go back to his old ways. Let GM and coach do their jobs.
Snyder means well in all, but when it comes to player personnel decisions he is like a person with a gambling problem in Las Vegas.
He gets the fever on a certain player and he can not control himself and his decision making.
The Snyder bashing has gone down considerably and will stay low if he continues on this current trend.

Thing is it is the caliber of players we have that will determine the outcome on the field. Shanny is a good coach, but our roster is weak overall. Too many drafts have been wasted in search for high priced free agents that have always underperformed. Add to that the dumb ass moves we have made in drafts since Norv was the HC and you get what we have here, a mediocre franchise. Biggest mistake was not drafting another QB in '96-'97 when it was apparent that Shuler was a bust and that Gus couldn't get us to the promised land

Hindsight is 20/20... I agree.
