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

JOE GIBBS!
He is cut out of the same mold as Jack Kent Cooke for 1. Also, look what he did with Gibbs racing! I don't like Gibbs racing, but after Hendrick Motorsports, Gibbs is mentioned as a quality owner, and someone everyone respects. Joe has a knack for knowing what is right, and he won't be sold on "whims". He is level headed with a committment to excellence, and has a clear cut love for the Skins. These are all win / win scenarios for us and IMO no one would be a better fit.
(of course I doubt he would buy it, but I didn't think that mattered in this question)

Not Pat Bowlen or the Ford Family.

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.

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

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

tryfuhl · 04-03-2009, 05:19 PM

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

skinsfan69 · 04-03-2009, 05:28 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.

Good one, but other than that little nugget I like the way he builds through the draft, and doesn't hold on to players too long, and has great personnel people.

In some aspects I like Jeff Loria (owner of Florida Marlins). It delights me that one of the lowest payrolls in MLB makes it farther than NYY or BoSox.
He runs the team like a business that is focused on 2-3 years down the road, always. You never hear them signing expensive guys, they develop great home grown talent.

Whadya think?

53Fan · 04-03-2009, 05:43 PM

Al Davis. There's not enough bitchin' on this board.

Ruhskins · 04-03-2009, 05:47 PM

How 'bout just any owner who doesn't interfere. Man, I can't wait until the season starts so these make believe threads go away.

SmootSmack · 04-03-2009, 07:29 PM

Mike Brown, Donald Sterling...then maybe people would recognize that there are far worse owners out there. Farrrrr worsssse.

And the Capitals' comparison is weak. First off, hockey has a minor league system where players can develop and secondly people don't really care as much about the NHL. People seem to think McPhee was just hired last off-season. The Capitals have first rounders from the past four seasons that haven't done anything in the NHL. We have a 6th round QB from last year that people are already wondering when he will start.
