10 Years of Snyder-AP Interview

[djnemo65]

Also, didn't we just try and trade the house and kitchen sink for Jay Cutler? I don't think he learned that from Gibbs. Every time you buy into the Snyder has changed line you wake up to read about us trying to trade two number one picks for Chad Johnson, or something else crazy. So I'm not convinced he's learned his lesson completely.

I thought the reason we did not get him was because we where not willing to trade the house and sink.

im pretty sure we offered them 2 1st rounders or a 1st and conditional 3rd that could have become a 1st. the bengals said no.

DS is what he is, a young owner who used to not hide his hands-on approach to running an NFL team. i dont think DS has changed that much, the only real change i see is that he doesnt put himself and his actions out in public as much but you still hear about how he is at every dinner meeting with any potential player.

do you really think he doesnt tell cerrato what he thinks after meeting with a player?

do you really think cerrato doesnt weigh heavily what his boss DS's thinks?

yeah i like that he likes to spend money but when the discussion of "you can't buy a championship" comes up a picture of the DS pops up. it could be worse, it could be better. but i dont think DS has changed his stripes that much given the offseason of signings and failed trade attempts this year.

go skins!!

I know the owner of the company I work for (my boss) tells me what he thinks of items that come up, I know it weighs heavily on what I do. I don't think that is wrong. What is important, is that he, DS, is in the process of learning so that when he speaks, it has a basis in football reality, not fan based reality.

I have no problem with an owner being involved, as long as he is knowledgeable. I think Dan is growing that way.

And nobody wanted Campbell in a trade, but seriously every time Redskins are "interested" Synder is immediately bashed for offering too much when in some cases there might have been no offers just interest.
