Smurf85 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I for one thought this was thread worthy. I mentioned this in another forum that I was at the game a hour and a half early. Well the first person that I saw on the field was Snyder himself. Now I live a hour away from Detroit so I know pretty much know everything about the Lions. Well the Lions owner doesn't show up for every game. Hell he has a home in Florida for the winter. All he cares about is money not winning and it shows. My point is we always talk **** about Snyder. So I thought it would be nice to give the guy props. He hired Zorn he loves this team and he wants to win. He never misses a game and to me that shows a lot. So in other words this Buds for you Snyder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcnativenerd Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I've been part of the "Hate Snyder" group for a number of years, but I've been rather impressed with him lately. I think he's moved past his free agency, quick fix days and has figured out that it takes time for a football team to mature. He knows a team must mature into greatness and that it won't just happen over night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkabong82 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I'll second that. I can't stand it when we lose and some people on here use that as a platform to bash Snyder. The man certainly has his faults, but I have never questioned his dedication to this team as his actions indicate he cares deeply about the Skins.

Fightin4Dixie Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I wouldn't be giving him an Owner of the year award, but I do agree he does want to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure I never said that in the thread. With that being said he deserves to get credit from time to time and that is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice_of_Reason Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I don't think the question with Snyder has ever been desire to win, I think it's always been the decisions that he's made. Being too hands on, making stupid personnel decisions, and not trusting football people to do football jobs. I honestly believe that Joe Gibbs really taught Snyder how to be a better owner. Snyder even said it, and it seems to be playing out. Now with a little more patience, and just trusting the football people, the organization seems to be on the right path. Hopefully Zorn continues to prove that he's a pretty good coach, and can stick around for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdskn4Lyf21 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I've always appreciated and even liked Snyder. The man is a fan like we are and only wants the best for this team. Yeah, he's made mistakes, but he's human and is doing his best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TL8583 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 You know, after seeing a bit of the Jerry Jones interview with Bob Costas on SNF tonight, (I actually had to change the channel) I was so glad that Dan Snyder does not do this stuff. There is no doubt that he is definitely a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibdiesel44 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I've never been a Snyder basher although a few of his moves have kinda pissed me off. But for the most part alot of his "failed" signings over the years seemed like a good move at the time! And we've seen a maturity level develope between him & Vinnie over the past couple years that seems to hint that they might have it figured out.... Thanks Danny Boy......My Hat's off to you.... :applause::applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benskins26 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 As has been mentioned before, Snyder is a huge fan. I have never questioned his desire, just some of his past decisions. But make no mistake, the man wants to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggins76 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Snyder is probably the best owner in the NFL. He's a hardcore fan that would do anything to get us to the SB. Look at the players and coaches he signed in the past. True, none of them worked but at the time those signings were great =). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginalWhizzinator Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Ive never understood all the Snyder bashing on here myself. Living out in SD and seeing the Spanos's in action would give you an idea of what a bad owner is. SD might lose the team still, b/c the city doesnt want to build another stadium, and the Spanos's just want to cheap out at every turn. Snyder cares about the team, cares about the area, and isnt afraid to spend some coin when the team needs it. No one is perfect, but he seems to have learned from Gibbs...what more could you want from an owner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gutlead74 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 every time i see a jerry jones or al davis i hit my knees and thank dear Jesus in heaven for Snyder! Joe like always has made the people around him better at thiewr role and better people that is why Joe Gibbs deserves a spot in the Hall of Fame of Life not just Canton.

Symbol Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I just can't wait to see Dan Snyder start a Hip Hip Hooray when hoisting the Redskins 4th Lombardi and Dan's first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECU-ALUM Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I have bashed Snyder over the years for some of the crap he did...but the way he and this organization stepped up when Sean was murdered...that gave the man a clean slate with me. I have always admired the way the Rooneys run the Steelers and when they hired Mike Tomlin and I saw what he did in just his first year I wondered, "When we going to get our own Mike Tomlin? Someone who is not a big name coach and is out to prove that they deserve this job!" I think we got a keeper in Coach Zorn. Mr. Snyder...thank you.

brianm23 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I give kudos to Snyder for being active and wanting to win bad. That said, he's still a moron in terms of understanding how to put together a winning football team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMeast Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Maybe Daniel Snyder has gone a little free agent/draft pick trading crazy before, but it is nice to have a guy who really loves the Washington Redskins as the owner. :steelersu HTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC2MOSS Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I want to like Snyder.. I really do. I want to believe he has learned from past mistakes. But.. After his annual "I`ve matured as an owner " speech. He attempted to trade two first round picks for Ocho Stinko.. :doh: Lame.. PS~ Horton is awesome! :point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbodiesel#44 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 He attempted to trade two first round picks for Ocho Stinko.. :doh: Lame.. PS~ Horton is awesome! :point2sky That set the FO back and negated some of the progression they have made. At least in my eyes. But I blame that more on Vinny. I sincerely hope Danny is not trying to emulate Jerrah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky21 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 It's amazing to me how, as fans, we set the bar for ownership so low as "wanting to win." I believe a better measure of management is actually winning and since Snyder has owned the Redskins they have a losing record. What Snyder is successful at is exploiting the passion of the fans. He may love the Redskins but it’s apparent to me that what he really loves, is money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
