Snyder's "apology"

[SouperMeister]

I don't need an apology. An admission that the FO philosophy has been the wrong way to create a consistent winner would be much better, but I won't hold my breath waiting for that.

More importantly, the firing of Cerrato followed by the hiring of a legitimate GM with final say on personnel matters, with a focus on building quality, inexpensive depth through the draft would be much more substantive. I keep going back to two teams - New England and Philly. Both stockpile draft picks and have a deep pool of capable talent in every unit. They typically make opportunistic FA signings of proven vets, without throwing their future cap out of whack.

I'm with ya there. I was one of those that said Snyder should be more visible at times, so I respect & appreciate his apology.

Is it enough? Of course not, but it's like any apology, it's a start.
