I have to respectfully disagree with you.
Would that be '3-4 owners including Snyder' that have figured out how to spend a ton of money and field a losing team? Because that is the NFL Owners model Snyder has created. Other than one season we were in the playoffs under coach Norv, the Redskins have been frustratingly bad. I do not feel lucky since Snyder has taken over as owner.
I would describe Snyder's owner/management style as trial by error.
First he tries to buy a championship and fails. So he then tries a more toned down system of spending valuable draft picks on restricted FA's. The jury is still out on that one.....
I think the N.E. Patriots have created a better model for an NFL owner to follow. They have won two of the last three Super bowls by spending cautiously. They continue to stock pile their team with more and more talent through the NFL draft. They also purchase free agents but they go the cheap free agent route.
They get inexpensive FA's, which is opposite of Snyder's philosophy.
Man, did this thread get off topic!
