NFL  > Washington Redskins  > SNYDER IS NOT DUMB WHICH MAKES ME THINK US SKINS FANS ARE
April 21, 2009, 03:17 PM
I am 38 yrs old and a lifelong skins fan. Ive had it with out owner. It is no science how to win in the NFL. Pile up draft picks, get a bunch of blue chips and keep continuity. For anyone to say Snyder doesnt know what he's doing is an insult to smart people. Snyder and his puppet read everything that is said about the team and they continue to treat it like its a fantasy team. Its amazing that we continue to be 8-8 or 9-7 every season. Just think if we had GOOD management. I will always be a skins fan but Im done hoping things change they wont...until we get a smart ownership. Even Jerry jones got rid of T.O. and Pacman. Any one agree with me?

Yep. Like many others in Foreskins' nation, I regret our inability to hold a shareholder meeting and vote Danny "Goy Wonder" Snyder out of his chair.

April 21, 2009  04:54 PM ET

Just crazy, I wish I could be a Ravens fan but i was born to die as a skins fan.

April 21, 2009  07:40 PM ET

Danny will get this right eventually....I know its hard but have faith

Welcome to my world!

dumb danny and silly cerrato MUST GO! The ONLY way to get dumb dannys' attention is to hurt his BOTTOM LINE! If we gamble future success by trading away picks for 16 starts sanchez we need to boycott the SKINS, as hard as that may be! HTTR

Dan Snyder looks at a team with a suspect offensive line, no pass rush, an inconsistent running game, average LBs and horrible special teams and says, you know what we really need, another quarterback with no experience to sit on the bench and learn from a solid QB that will leave in free agency so we can play the guy with no experience next year.

Enough said.

Daniel Snyder is the worst owner in pro sports, these are a few of the highlights:
1. He told a coach to put Jeff George in at QB or he would be fired
2. He fired a real GM (Casserly) and replaced him with a friend with as little football knowledge as he has (Cerrato)
3. He has had 6 coaches in 9 seasons.
4. He makes the fans park in the middle of nowhere.
5. He once charged for fans to watch training camp.
6. He continues to add seats to the stadium to make more money.
7. And the list goes on from here...

Unfortunately, I have a feeling Daniel Snyder will turn the once proud Redskins into the new Detroit Lions, the laughingstock of the NFL. Had Joe Gibbs not come back and tried to steer this idiot the right way for 4 years, we would probably already be there.

Redskin Fan For Life, despite the continuing testing of this loyalty

Dude, if you are a fan like me, saying I whine like a 3rd grader is a compliment, I make no bones about my loyalty to my team Im just stating that our owner is NOT a stupid man, which means he really THINKS he's doing the right thing and THAT is sad....very sad!

Winning in the NFL is a lot more difficult than stock piling draft picks and continuity.

The problem with the Skin's last year is that the offensive line crumbled down the stretch. He wants to acquire Sanchez because he, and many other teams, believe that he will truly be something special in the years to come.

Jason Campbell really isn't the solution at QB. He had one good year in college due to the fact that he had Ronnie Brown AND Carnell Williams in the back field.

Your blame on Snyder is severely misplaced.

HEY Know it all.......THE BLAME ON SNYDER IS NOT AND HAS NEVER BEEN MISPLACED WHEN IT COME'S TO SNYDER.....AND I TAKE YOUR NOT A REDSKINS FAN BY YOUR COMMENT.......BEEN A FAN SINCE 1971, AND DANIEL SNYDR IS THE REASON YOU DONT LET KIDS PLAY WITH SHARP OBJECTS....PERIOD!!!!!

April 24, 2009  03:41 PM ET

Why does Mark Sanchez 16 games leading an "ALL-STAR" team make him so desirable? That is the same resume that Jason Campbell has- except now Jason has had multiple NFL coaches and systems learned under his belt. If the Redskins don't improve their O line they are going to waste another year.

STOP. BUYING. HIS. PRODUCT. That's how to get him to change his behavior. He may BE a lifelong Redskins fan, but this thing is very MUCH still a business. I personally HATE going to that soulless stadium myself... and the food prices?! Ha ha ha. I'll stay home, watch on the 70" HD, and NOT put money in that idiot's pockets thank you very much.

"Danny will get this right eventually....I know its hard but have faith."

Thank you Mr. Cerrato. Just what you thought Charley Casserley sucked. Ha ha ha. What a team of idiots that fool has put together. Every year they fail to learn the lesson... championship teams are built through the draft. At least the CORE is. And to take a MAJOR chance on ANOTHER QB who barely started for ONE YEAR?! What a bunch of morons. That's right Danny boy... keep mortgaging the future hoping to trip over the next Tom Brady. Good luck with that... talk about long odds. For a "smart" (i.e., rich) guy, you're certainly fairly stupid.

I spent two year side by side with Danny as he started his business in 1987 at 1801 Rockville Pike. We shared an office. Believe me, he ain't stupid. However, what he IS, is reticent to EVER do something the "traditional" way. He thinks anything that doesn't maximize revenue, regardless of burned bridges and buried bodies, is old-fashioned, outdated, and ridiculous. They are not players to him. They are revenue-generating units. His cohorts hate him, his team hates him...and until he understands that, behind the money the real reason people want to play a pro sport is that they just plain and simple love the game. I saw a glimmer of hope with the Sean Taylor situation. What he did has generous and selfless. But what he's done to Jason Campbell - both as an athlete and a human - is just sad. He'll keep trying to buy high-priced athletes who see a stint in Washington as a place to rest, live easy and get paid. Then they move to a contender - like Anotnio Pierce did, Ryan Clark did, and win a super bowl. Maybe not getting a QB is the best thing to happen to the skins this year. After all, we have the #4 D in the league. Maybe Orakpo can help out some of those linemen.

Love the team...hate the owner...

NYY Lifer. Anyone who makes a statement that there's no science to winning in the NFL is a certified ****. I should take you to the Casino. I bet you've figured out how to win there as well.

April 30, 2009  01:38 PM ET

Redskins suck. Next...

April 30, 2009  01:48 PM ET

Hey pound cake boy, since when did they allow internet access in the joint? Tell your Dad he owes me $42.

May 6, 2009  11:31 PM ET

You are dead wrong..Dan Snyder is a self made billionaire. That takes smarts..guts..intelligence and courage. He is not afraid to spend money unlike many other owners.. He is in a very tough division in a very tough league. He will be successful soon and win multiple Super Bowls for Washington Redskins.

Quit buying your season tickets, like I did.
They may Listen then when 8,000 show up on sunday.

#8 Highlight for Danny....he is not after Michael Vick!

I will take it that you misunderstood my comment. What happens in the NFL every few years? The good teams try to copy the formula of the super bowl teams. Is it really a "science" that the giants, colts, pats, and steelers are good every year? Thought not. seantaylorrip said it best about Snyder, he doesnt understand how a football team should be run. Until he does, we will keep having these conversations. But at the end of the day......Im a Skins fan for better or worse! Go Skins!
