notwoz Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 The Washington Post looks at the 20 years of mediocrity under the year reign of the 'Skins' short, meddling owner Dan Snyder. As a boy (according to his mythology), he dreamed owning the team. I hope that the Bills have turned the corner toward the promised land after their own odyssey through the desert. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2019/09/03/two-decades-later-nfl-peers-view-daniel-snyders-redskins-tenure-with-mix-worry-optimism/
DC Tom Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 But in Synder's defense....hah, just kidding, there is no defense of him. Fun fact: scholars of Revolutionary France have started referring to Napoleon Bonaparte as having a "Dan Snyder complex." 4 1
Happy Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 Snyder is a meddling owner who treats the Redskins like it is his fantasy football team. He doesn't trust his football people, but instead installs "yes men" like Bruce Allen. Those who disagree with him don't last. I've heard stories from people who have worked for him; let's just say he's not exactly a humble person. Demanding and seems to think of himself as better than others.

I love hearing the local radio sports people ragging on him.
Thurman#1 Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 Used to live there during the Riggins - Theismann - Gibbs glory years. They were a smart, hell, a textbook organization with obnoxious fans. Glad to see what has happened to that organization since. I don't see them ever becoming great while owned by Snyder, happily. 1
boater Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 Quote Their activities were mainly outsourced marketing services, such as Direct marketing, database marketing, proprietary product sampling, sponsored information display in prime locations, call centres, field sales. That is Snyder Communications wiki entry. In other word, he peddled crap. His football operations are no different. 1

I don't think I've ever head a team owner as universally loathed as Snyder. He's more hated in DC than Art Modell is in Cleveland, which is pretty frickin' unbelievable. To be that universally reviled, you can't just be a normal #######. You have to work at it. 3 1

Ralph believed in the bottom line over field performance. He also as others pointed out believed in filling the larger pocket being the NFL versus the right pocket being the Bills further believing that the trickle down would fill the Bills' pocket.
