Put it this way. This Redskins franchise hasn't been exactly right since Jack Kent Cooke's death. It all started with Cooke not leaving a will and handing the team, the stadium, and Redskins park over to his son John. If that happened, there would have been no Milstein bros. buying the team although Jerry Jones, Al Davis and the rest of the owners didn't approve their purchase of the franchise. Dan Snyder was to initially be a minority owner with the Milsteins. After the owners didn't approve, everything went back to Cooke's estate. Snyder sold Snyder Communications and then bought the Redskins. And the rest is gloomy history in the making from there on out. I never understood why the NFL owners didn't approve of the Milstein purchase of the Redskins. For all we know, they would have been excellent owners.
The team hasn't seen stability since Jack Kent Cooke died. If John Kent Cooke owned the team, the Redskins would have been contenders every year. This Redskins franchise has been in disarray since Snyder purchased it.
