Once that is gone than maybe we will get a serious owner who will make the right football decisions that are not totally money related.<br /><br />Or bring in a GM, leave him alone for five years and let him set the franchise on the right track. <br /><br />Other teams have done it but it won't work with an owner and a GM with big egos. There are plenty of examples of both styles in the NFL.Ednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980010523927297374.post-75055154228533592562009-10-20T10:05:48.300-04:002009-10-20T10:05:48.300-04:00From three thousand miles away in the Bay Area, I ...From three thousand miles away in the Bay Area, I read about the deplorable situation in DC and am vastly entertained by the ineptitude of the bosses.

Pay Mr. Snyder the required just compensation and offer the the stock of the team to the fans. Strongly suspect that the sales would be oversubscribed. Once in adult ownership, the team like the Packers, would belong to the community and fans. Then it could be managed intelligently and in the interests of the fans and team members.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980010523927297374.post-52873319835896661672009-10-20T08:56:08.586-04:002009-10-20T08:56:08.586-04:00I root for the financial demise of the Redskins - ...I root for the financial demise of the Redskins - I think that is the only "wake up call" that Dan Snyder would ever hear and that probably wont happen...The more the world clamors for change at Redskins Park, the more aberrant the DS decisions are.

Many of your colleagues at the Post have touched on things a bit but nothing wrapped it quite as well as you did here.<br /><br />The question is, how can the Redskins as an institution of the greater Washington, D.C. area get out of this mess? Can we have Snyder arrested for "abuse of a loved one", that loved one of course being the Redskins organization? <br /><br />Vince Spence says that "we deserve it" but I don't think that's true. You could argue we've enabled The Danny (maybe he needs an episode of Intervention) but we're suffering with Jim Z., JC and the rest of the high character players that don the burgundy and gold on Sundays.<br /><br />The only person who deserves anything is Dan Snyder. Unfortunately, our power to hold him accountable is almost nil (short of a mass campaign that defies every instinct we have as Skins fans).Paulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980010523927297374.post-9202967142689458352009-10-20T01:27:19.588-04:002009-10-20T01:27:19.588-04:00Kyle Orton was DOA after he was unceremoniously sh...Kyle Orton was DOA after he was unceremoniously shipped from Chicago to Denver. No one, I mean NO ONE, thought that he could be a half-way decent quaterback in Denver or anywhere. <br /><br />Now people in Denver (with whom I have spoken this evening) are calling Josh McDaniels "god" and Orton "Jesus." Orton has been accurate and has enjoyed copious amounts of time to go through all of his progressions to find an open receiver. On MNF, there was not one Charger within 5 yards of him the entire night. The same could be said (more or less) about the protection he enjoyed during the Bronco's previous 5 wins. <br /><br />I am sure that sports writers - as well as fans - will be doing a post mortem on the career of Jason Campbell when the season is over. I just hope that, after this town has spit out Campbell after three years of mastication, he lands with a team, gets a chance, and really shines. QBs are only as good as their O lines, which pretty much means the Skins' QB will never be good as long as our O line is the worst in football, regardless whether his name is Campbell, Collins, or Brees (we wish). <br /><br />I hope Campbell goes somewhere with competent management, competent coaches, and players that show their talent rather than talk about it. I hope he then becomes the next Kyle Orton - and comes back to DC and rubs our face in a 300 yard, 3 TD performance. We collectively deserve it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980010523927297374.post-32305374148174318862009-10-19T17:46:16.839-04:002009-10-19T17:46:16.839-04:00My question.
