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

SFREDSKIN · 04-03-2009, 04:57 PM

Joe Gibbs or Ted Leonsis.

Ruhskins · 04-03-2009, 05:00 PM

Not Pat Bowlen or the Ford Family.

Getting closer...

Leonsis would have my vote.

I'm pretty sure Snyder has learned his lessons, if we're going to make a big splash via free agency or a trade, the players are always young or at least in their prime like Haynesworth. Cutler is a young superstar at the most important position. We had to do due diligence on him just like the other 10 teams that investigated it. Yes, it is true that we probably had the best current quarterback situation out of those teams, but so what? The asking price was too high, and we backed off.

A whole lot of drama about nothing.
Campbell already knew we weren't fully committed to him by his lack of a contract extension. If anything this may be just the thing that sparks him to break out, along with this being his second year in the system. The stars always rise to the occasion when they are doubted and prove the nay-sayers wrong.

Well I guess now we will get to see if Campbell is the real deal or not, and I personally couldn't be happier.

i would want jack kent cooke's family to own the team like what should have happened 11-12 years ago. that way fed ex field would have remained Jack Kent Cooke Stadium like it should be. (i would diss on DS for immediatley stripping the late great JCK of his crown jewel and monument for skins fans years to come to remember the man by but this isnt a bash DS thread . . . or is it?)

go skins!!

Yes. Having JKC's family own the Skins would be a victory for justice as well as a boon for the team itself.

Otherwise, Rooney is a good choice but I'd go Kraft. His record speaks for itself.

I don't care if he wins 5 super bowls. If you're going to pay him like that for performance and he's got a sub 85 QB rating, well, then you're throwing away money. If you're a great organization like the Steelers, you could win those playoff games with someone else.

The Roethlisberger deal is pretty ridiculous. It will look fine as long as they are winning, but once the victories dry up, he's going to be the most overpaid athlete in professional sports.

I was just trying to show Irish that the steelers do indeed over pay for players and he's not even one of there best players.

The steelers number one defense puts them in position to win. Not Big Ben and his 17 interceptions.

So I will go ahead and say I would take Bob Kraft because he is willing to spend what it takes to build a winner but he also lets his football people run the team without interfering too much.

Matty no doubt, those VIP memberships almost have him there

totally a joke by the way

So Dan, please draft Alex Mack after you trade down a few spots. PLEASE!!!

I wouldn't mind Gibbs but I'd wonder how much he'd poke his nose into everything, being a football guy

how about mark cuban? just gotta keep him in the box, dude's a riot

Check out Ben's stats compared to JC's . NFL Stats: by Player Category

Big Bens QB rating was 80.1 compared to JC's 84.3

I'd say that 102 million is kinda overpaying, wouldn't you?

Why are people around here so damn stat happy? Why???? The difference is Ben R. leads his team to victories in the 4th Q. and did it in the playoffs...when it really really matters. Ben R. is never going to be a huge stat guy. He's more of a playmaking type of guy who just gets the job done. It may not look pretty, he may not run the play how it was designed but he just gets it done when it matters. That's the difference between the two right now. Oh yeah he's been the QB on two SB winning teams.

Because you know what else is a stat? 102 million dollars.

skinsfan69 · 04-03-2009, 06:28 PM

I WOULD NOT want Gibbs as an owner. How can you guys actually say silly stuff like that w/ a straight face? Give me Robert Kraft, The Mara's or Dan Rooney. Those guys get it.
