Snyder will not do the most important thing it takes to win: Put professionals in charge of everything. Spending a ton of money doesn't matter if you're not spending it wisely and Snyder simply does not -- and never will -- know enough about professional football to spend money as wisely as teams that are run by people who have spent their entire adult lives learning this stuff.

If winning was the most important thing to Dan Snyder, he'd do the one thing that would help more to win than any other: Fire the personnel department [starting with himself], hire actual NFL professionals, and go upstairs to be an owner like Jack Kent Cooke.

The Redskins will never be a winning franchise as long as Dan Snyder is closely involved in the personnel decisions. Oh, sure, they can get lucky some years, get a few breaks, win some games in a weak conference and find themselves in a playoff game or two. But they will never win a Super Bowl and they will never be a consistent winner [like the Steelers, for example] as long as Snyder is the actual GM of the team.

This all just based on your assumptions that Snyder makes all personnel decisions without any regard to having football guys on his staff, your unsubstantiated assumptions.
