I find it amazing how people pile all the crap on Snyder. Don't get me wrong I'm not in love with this owner, but I can remember when Cook was the owner and we never seemed to get the big names. Especially in his last years. He seemed to get the guy no one knew about or someone who was in his last years. Some people thought it was Gibbs liking the older smarter players instead of the younger players who made mistakes. Theres even some grumbling that it was the GM who never got the names Gibbs asked for. Who really knows. I guess I'm trying to say that you can't please everyone all the time. I prefer Snyder because he does get the big names and is showing he is trying to win vs. the coaches trying to save a buck for themselves. There are some teams that I'm glad we are not rooting for. I will also say I agree with building through the draft but Gibbs has to get the right personel in the right positions to run his offense before he can look to trying to get future personel. Just like not everyone fits into the West Coast offense. Some WC offensive player don't work in Gibbs style. I will admit evaluation is the key and we have piss pour evaluation. Thats not the owner though thats the coaches and staff they higher to evaluate.

The difference between Cooke and Snyder is that ol' Jack got results. He did that by having a top notch front office that evaluated talent by talent, not by reputation. If they didn't get the talent Gibbs wanted, they got him players he could win with. Snyder's front office is suspect. The "proven commodities" they select are suspect. Their approach to building a team is very suspect.

I like that Snyder's putting his money where is mouth is, but it isn't well spent. Better that he focus on building the best front office team to build the the team on the field. I don't see more Redskin Super Bowls until that changes (and I really hope I'm wrong about that).
