Really you kind of should be happy because JKC's charity got more money because Snyder "overpaid" for the team. It was an omen to me just how much this team was worth, or how important it was for one to own it.

So I say blame Jack Kent Cooke, because had he just left the team to his son then we would've won 7 Super Bowls by now right ?

Sarcasm Duly noted.

Had JKC's son bought it, we would have an owner that was on a beach somewhere sipping margarita's, while we fans moaned about his lack of investment in the team. (that's my opinion)

I can't stand it when people say this cause it's total 100% BS! When the team was under his control he went out and spent money. Does Dana Stubblefield and Dan Wilkonson ring a bell??? It's water under the bridge cause JKC dicked his own son, but there is NO QUESTION in my mind that we'd be in MUCH better hands had John Cooke kept the team.

2 high priced FA's that were pretty much busts.

So how would things have without question been different?

Just because they shared the same name doesn't make John would have been a great owner.

C'mon Matty. Give me a break. You know damn well that this team would've been run in a much more professional manner if John Cooke was the owner. When Snyder took over this team was well on it's way and he came in a ripped it apart. He's been a shitty owner. If you can't figure that out for yourself then so be it. So I guess John Cooke would've embrasssed his head coach by bringing in a bingo caller to call plays mid season. I could go on and on. But I do understand that this is your website, and it's your job to be objective.

Come on what? You named Stubby and Big Daddy as shining examples of John's work. Tell me they weren't busts.

Put Snyder aside for a moment... How can you say without question we would have been better off with John as owner??

Just wondering why you have so much confidence in that thought?

You really don't think there's any chance we could have been worse off W/L wise?

I was making an example that John Cooke would spend money, which he did. Right? We'd be winning more games cause we'd be a professional organization. From top to bottom. Professionals would be running the team. Not Vinny Cerrato and co. Professionals would be picking the players and putting a TEAM together. Not a fantasy team a REAL team. I'm sure someone has John's interview with Wise but he said it himself. He'd let the scouts and front office people do their thing. He'd have a competent head coach, not colleges coaches that didn't practice in bad weather, or a quirky QB coach with no OC experience. All that shows me there would be more wins. Oh, and I can promise you he wouldn't have shit on the fans.

You've got some crystal ball there...

All the stuff you're talking about is in the past though. Don't we have pros in place running things now?

I remember this last year and he was also on Mike Wise....and if I remember correctly he didn't have very nice things to say about Snyder. But like I said, it's water under the bridge.
