[quote=over the mountain;557104]imo DS is the most embarrassing aspect of being a skins fan. hes low class to no class and is tarnishing the skins long built tradition and reputation imo. but hey, hes a fan atleast he wants to win. win at any cost baby!! just win!!!

if you run a franchise like DS with that win at any cost approach and dont win, you tend to get bashed. when we do win or get to the SB perhaps the ends could justify the means for most, including the media.

In my opinion, I have no idea what you mean by low class to no class. And I think think you have little concept of Redskins history or their owners. George Preston Marshall was an unabashed bigot who reportedly picked fights with opposing coaches, overruled his coaches on play calls during games, and even fired one coach at halftime of a game. And then there was Edward Bennett Williams, who represented some of the country's more dubious names (Hoffa, Milken), but I'm not hating-EBW was just doing his job.

And as for the franchise, over the course of more than 25 years until the Allen era they only had four winning seasons, and not to mention most of the 90s when they lost all home games one year, started 0-7 another year, and blew a 7-1 start yet another.

I love the Redskins but their tradition is full of questionable owners and poor performance on the field. Their history does not begin in 1972 and end in 1992.

Dannys 48 percent winning stat says it all. 10 years of ownership and that is his success rate

Re: SI's Best & Worst Owners
 

so youre sayin DS is just another name on the list of crappy skins owners? (sarcasm j/k)

but you have a point, my first hand knowledge of the skins franchise really begins with JKC. i can only comment or have an opinion on what ive experienced. im 30 not 80. my opinion of DS doesnt have to be based upon a comparison to owners 60 years ago. SS i get it, you like DS. I dont. you are not alone, nor am i.

go skins!!

His handling of player's personal issues, caring for their families, and charitable support is far from low class. I also don't believe for a second that Joe Gibbs would've worked for an owner he saw as having "low or no class".

[quote=vallin21;556904]I just don't get why they're still hammering him for signings that happened almost a decade ago.[/quote]
Because they are out of topics and the most popular is to bash The Skins, because they can break down the run that Bought Bruce Smith and Co. in after the fact and look like they know what they are talking about. If I remember a lot of them had us ranked very high because of the signings...That Archulerta stings the most

My fault for not paying closer attention to your sig.

[quote=Ruhskins;557057] Oh and the next time someone says that Snyder is a bad owner, I'm going to repeatedly post that the sky is blue.[/quote]


You might not have time to type, write, print, or say anything else for a long time. I like Snyder, personally. I think he's a decent owner. He just has a lot to learn & unfortunately, too much time to learn it. Unlike Al Davis who is already dead, but no one's told him yet, Dan will probably be the owner of the Redskins for a long time to come. That's not such a bad thing, as I think he DOES try to put a winning team on the field. He just doesn't really know how to do that just yet...& he's impatient. I wouldn't put him in the top 5, but definitely should be a top 10.

Re: SI's Best & Worst Owners
 

I like Dan as a owner. he has done everything he can to help this team win.
he brings back a HOF HC Gibbs.
he lured Spurrier to the pros - which many teams were trying for yrs before him.
he brings in top FA's no matter the cost to help the team win.

One day, DS will hoist the Lombardi and then the sports world can STFU once and for all.

dan is a big spender so what??
