No, he has not learned. He has never learned the one simple lesson -- good teams are built from the ground up ... then accented with a few free agents. He should have learned that lesson after his first spending bonanza back in the Deion days. But he did not, and will not in my opinion. If you can't figure it out in the first 12 years, why would you now. He does not have the patience to build a team right, or too simply hire the best people and let them do there jobs.

You are right about one thing though -- he does worship Jerry Jones. That in itself is an epic fail. Jones has not had success in a decade + either. Yet, the Colts, Pats, Giants and Steelers have shown how to build consisent teams that compete year after year. They use free agents as the final piece of the puzzle, not the foundation. Young, less injury prone talent is the ticket, but it does not come over night. I doubt Snyder would let any GM be anything but a figure head. I sincerely doubt he will ever fire Cerrato. He might "retitle" him, but he won't cut him lose. Instead of patterning himself after winners, he emulates losers. Might work in marketing, might work in baseball, but football just doesn't roll like that.

Dan Snyder --- epic fail.
