I dont want him to cede control of his enterprise, I want him to listen to people who know football and football talent.

He may well have learned from Gibbs. Perhaps, one of the things he learned was to listen to the right people concerning talent. Unlike like you, I do not think this is an impossibility.

That, I think is the crux of our disagreement - You have no hope that the post-Gibbs Snyder will be better than the pre-Gibbs Snyder. I have hope that he will.

An NFL team is a constantly changing thing.

I don't think anyone is asserting that "all [the team] need[s] is to be left alone so it can win". Rather, we are asserting [hoping] that Gibbs fundamentally changed Snyder's fascination with aquiring bright, shiny new toys (re: players) and trying the quick fix, and, instead, taught Snyder that continuity, commitment and high quality team players are the ways to build a championship.

If Danny has truly learned that lesson, then a new guy is not going change it and Gibbs positive influence will be felt lonnnngggg after Gibbs' departure.
