What I think is different this time around is Snyder won't exert pressure to bend the GM's will to what he wants and thinks should be the direction. Snyder is now one voice in the overall process of making things click. He's no longer, if I could use this term, Alpha and Omega.

Excellent post. I think Snyder understands now that his intense participation of the past is the wrong approach. He still will have some involvement and still has things to learn (like patience), but to me this is the most important development with the Skins since Snyder took over.

We'll still make mistakes. But at least they will be the mistakes of football professionals rather than those of owners who play Madden in real life.
