If you could name a new owner for the Redskins who would it be and why?

[Paintrain]

Rooney family or Pat Bowlen.

[KLHJ2]

Liu Yongxing. He is rich Chineese farmer who knows zero about football so he would definately be "hands off". The other thing that I like about him is that he got rich feeding "hogs", so the O line would be well taken care of.

Why not China is buying up everything else in America?

Jeff lurie of the eagles ...goes to get the good free agents who he needs and builds the team through the draft

1.) Uh, he traded for T.O.

2.) How many superbowl wins do the eagles have?

3.) Jeff Lurie is more concerned about making money then building a winning team. How do you explain that the team has no true number one receiver yet has 48 million dollars in cap space?

True number one receivers are in highly limited supply and you can't just buy 'em. The best way to find them is in the draft, but the more costly way is to just trade a ton of picks for them, which they never do.

I think that TJ Housh would have been a good pick up for the eagles.

And they bid on him. But are you suggesting they would have been better off vastly overpaying for him, and then watching as he has an albatross contract deep into his thirties while he blocks younger, more promising types? Housh isn't good enough to justify that.

Joe Gibbs hands down.

[Nflnick11]

Waldskins, first off him trading for TO was a good trade at first, because he did get them to the superbowl, if you didn't know what TO would have been like today, 5 years ago, you would have traded for him too, secondly they don't need to trade for a number one because they have a bunch of picks and money to get one through the draft or FA.. Other owners I would say would be dan Rooney and (I hate to say this because I hate them, but) Robert craft they both bring in the really good needable FA (Ryan Clarke, adalius Thomas) and build through the draft

I already answered Gibbs to this question...but let me say this. Some day in the future...could be 1 year could be 20 years...Dan Snyder is going to wake up and he's going to get rid of his side kick Vinny, take a step back and start doing things the right way. With his passion for the Redskins and willingness to spend anything to win he will someday become the best owner in sports. I just hope I am still alive when it happens...

I think that Joe would be a better owner than coach, at least for his second time coaching. He does know how to put together winning teams in the NFL and NASCAR. Three SBs and three Cups don't lie. Being an owner of three cup teams is alot more behind the scenes than a coach.

I think Smootsmack and I discussed this and volunteered last year for co-ownership, we were just having a hard time coming up with the $ 1.5B to make the deal, or was it for the Presidency, I can't remember.

How about we give the the Danny & Vinny a couple more years and if they revert back to their pre-Gibbs ways then throw them overboard (good luck with that). Pretty hard to make evaluations after one season of VC basicaly being the GM. The guy was a part of building the personnel for a SF championship and a Notre Dame championship.

Offered two 1st round picks for Chad OchoCinco last offseason, tried to ditch Campbell and multiple 1st round picks for Cutler, and grossly overpaid for DeAngelo Hall. Not to mention the eventual outcome of the Jason Taylor move, even though at the time it seemed like a good idea. They got their man with Haynesworth, and I don't think it was a bad move.

My point is, with names like Haynesworth, Hall, J.Taylor, OchoCinco, Jay Cutler, etc, Danny and Vinny have gone right back to falling in love with and often overvaluing big names (Haynesworth was not overvalued IMO). Not to mention the money. Very Pre-Gibbs behavior if you ask me.

Mistake, not true, depends on who you ask (you're asking GTripp aren't you)

How about the deal they got back Dockery back with, or the players they ended up not throwing big money at-Hackett, Bryant Johnson, Elton Brown, that Willis guy?

I think they have a pretty decent balance going on. But I mean we have the means to at least be part of the discussion when it comes to some of these major players. So I think we always will be.
