Tulane Skins Fan Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 this The worst thing about Snyder is not his desire to be a (bad) fantasy football GM. It's that he is a starstruck fan who just wants to pal around with the athletes. And that means that the coaches do not have the authority, the star players do. I've been off the Snyder bandwagon since he hired Gibbs. I love Gibbs, but the move was another offseason Superbowl. That's certainly a bad thing. I think the worst thing though is his constant expectations that we are just going to win the superbowl every year. He "demands" that, but doesn't realize you don't just get a new QB or coach and go to the Superbowl. He has no respect for the process. He won't be happy with letting the team stink, but develop, for better years ahead. Its his lack of patience that has led to a 15 year plague upon this organization.

SkinsFTW Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I'd write my own but I think the smell of my "Open letter to Dan Snyder" would give itself away due to the massive quantities of dog poop stuffed inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFTW Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I was going to make a thread, but I'm just going to post here and people can tear this post up. I've been thinking about this for a while and I truly think Snyder is far more involved than the press would have you believe. I think he was behind the McNabb trade and the RGIII trade. I've always thought the same thing and every time we win and they show the locker room with DS in there WHOOPING IT UP with the players and handing out game balls instead of the coach it always reminds me that we will go on a losing streak after that game, (like when we beat Jax).

SkinsFTW Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 What the hell? That happened? Yeah there was a video but you should know that always happens. Remember the one when Zorn won 3 in a row and on the road vs Dallas, Philly and they had Snyder on video running with the team into the locker room yelling and screaming like a 12 year old fan? Then we finished the season losing to everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFTW Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 If I was the coach I wouldn't want the owner in there at all and if anybody is handing out game balls it should be the coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC9 Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 If I was the coach I wouldn't want the owner in there at all and if anybody is handing out game balls it should be the coach. Didn't see the Jax video, but Jay gave the gameballs to Amerson and Breeland after the Cowboys game. Also that video from 2008 was Snyder coming out of the owners box in Philly and headed to the locker - he wasn't running with the team. That's the one where he was like "Yeah! At Philly - At Dallas" or something like that? I think his managerial skills suck and his ability to relinquish any control to someone outside of his circle/pick out a skilled high level executive are the biggest issues.

Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 At this point, you know Snyder's football organization is going to be a joke just as certainly as you know I'm going to eat Honey bunches of oats tomorrow. A guy I work with said today that most teams have to deal with some crap on the side but for us, the side is football. The focus is always the crap. Also, every time it looks like we might be turning a corner, you know something incredibly stupid is going to happen before the start of the next season to screw us up again.

AZSkinsfan Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Since this is an Open letter to Dan: Mr Snyder, Please do not listen to internet message boards for advice on how to run your team. Although I do generally agree that we do need to make improvements to our team, I would rather you NOT take advice on how to do so from an internet message board. Thanks, Airborneskins (redskins season ticket holder for a VERY LONG TIME). Yeah because Dan Snyder doesn't need any help, he's a terrific owner.... right? And it's not like we will never win again with him running the show? And he's not being stubborn on insisting that RG3 is the starting QB for the next 15 years..

Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Pretty amazing how one owner can claim the worst free agent signing in NFL history, the biggest draft bust in NFL history, plus several more spots in the top 10 lists of worst trades and worst free agents of all time.

Russell (Raiders) wins biggest draft bust and biggest draft QB bust unless you meant worst trade to draft a bust ... in which case ... ya-huh pretty amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulane Skins Fan Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Dan: Step 1 - Look in the mirror Step 2 - Realize this all starts with you Step 3 - Hire a GM with proven player evaluation skills and beef up the scouting department Step 4 - Empower that person to fail in the W-L column for 2-3 years before evaluating him. This is perhaps the most important step, there is no mandate to "win now." There is only a mandate to "build now." Step 5 - Let that person make all personnel moves. ALL of them. You're brilliant idea to trade for Tom Brady is not a brilliant idea. Step 6 - Retain Gruden Step 7 - Empower Gruden to fail in the W-L column for 2-3 years. Step 8 - Realize that you are judging people on results other than W-L for 2-3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Dear Dan, I know that you will never sell the team and that we will never be any good while you are still owner. The only logical plan then is for you to please use some of your money to send me (and any other fans who wish to go) through the Saturn wormhole so that we might spend a few hours on the planet orbiting Gargantua from Interstellar. Since time will be moving much faster here on Earth, I look forward to returning to my home planet in the year 2084, still a young man but long after you have departed. It is the only chance to see a winning Redskins team in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skins island connection Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 We're the Raiders of the east coast. Hapless, clueless, 'oh i know what to do, let's sign an over-rated FA, or hire one of my buds so I can repay him for de-fleaing my dog 2 years ago'. Twas a month before Christmas, and all through the team, not a creature was stirring, not even a sorry piece of **** dumb-ass coordinator named Haslett who messes up every player we get cause he can't do nuttin' but look like a statue on the sidelines watching his defense get tore to hell by rookie QBs and gettin' outcoached every game'.

They are in much better shape than we are, in fact I can't think of any other team worse off than the Redskins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsFTW Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 With talk already about Snyder firing his 8th coach maybe it's time for him to seriously consider firing himself. He's owned the team for less than 2 decades and he has already been through 8 coaches and fired 7 of them. The other was Gibbs who probably saw where the team was going just like he did in 1992.

StephenB Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Our only hope is if his mistress records him going off on a racist tirade and sells the audio to TMZ. The NFL would feel pressure to get him out of the league like the NBA did for Donald Sterling's comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldSkinner Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Thinking about attending the Rams game and taking one for the team. Since I haven't been to a home game in 2 years, anyone know how long I'll have to hoist a TV-friendly sign directed at Snyder before security either confiscates it or escorts me out of the building?

Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Bring a bunch of kids. Sometime early in the game, they take off their sweatshirts to reveal T-shirts, each with one big letter written on it cumulatively spelling "FIRE SNYDER". When he sends his goons, the kids refuse to move. Take out your cell phone and start recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSO Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 This was posted by Hap in the tweets thread, but it belongs here. Just another check on Snyder's "wonderful management" list: Matt Terl retweeted Bill Barnwell @billbarnwell 38m38 minutes ago True story: Washington hired an economist to do analytics in 2006. He lasted two weeks before realizing how useless the org was and quit. Matt Terl retweeted Bill Barnwell @billbarnwell 37m37 minutes ago Sorry - the economist, Jeff Dominitz, left after seven weeks, not two. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/25/sports/football/more-nfl-teams-hire-statisticians-but-their-use-remains-mostly-guarded.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 … Reading this really just made me livid today.
