Grade Dan Snyder

Alright, the local sports station has a poll asking what grade Dan Snyder deserves since taking over in July 1999.

Objectively speaking (if that's possible) what grade would you give Snyder as an owner? I guess you have to consider overall success, playoff appearances, win-loss record, general direction of the team for the future, that sort of thing.

Here's the link -- it's on the left-hand side, third question down.

From an 'A' to 'F', what grade does Dan Snyder get?

You can't question the guy's commitment to trying to turn things around. He wants to win badly... has he gone about things the right way?

Definitely not.

Even without fielding a consistent winner he's brought the value of the franchise to #1 across all sports. I think he's getting close to having things figured out. Once he does he'll be dangerous.

Overall I'd give him a C. Solid effort if somewhat misguided at times.

I give him a "C-", I guess. I really want to give him a "D" but he has done a good job maintaining fan interest despite the lack of playoff appearances. The hiring of Gibbs also pushed him out of "D" country for me.

I think he deserves a D but I'll give him a C- because inspite of all the stupid things he does I do think he wants to win.

I gave him an A. He does whatever his coaches ask him to do, pays coaches and players, has people in place who do an amazing job massaging our cap, and always gets coaches to coach in DC that other places want. Like or hate Spurrier, many other teams attempted to get him to come to the NFL to no avail.

Minus his Jeff George spending spree, he's been a great owner.

I gave him a B (probably a B-), for similar reasons to Daseal except sometimes he should say no to what the coaches want

I say B-. He had that one year back in 2000, but I agree with Daseal on all this. He pretty much does whatever is asked of him. Sure, he's had it out with coaches, but in general, the teams have just sucked. Even if JKC was here, it would have most likely been the same thing.

I give him a C+. While he hasn't fielded a consistent winner, he has certainly made the Redskins the most valuable franchise in U.S. sports.

The lack of success on the field is not from a lack of effort but poor judgement of talent (overly optimistic expectations of production).

Believe it or not it could be worse, imagine if the Bidwills owned the Skins.

great effort, bad execution. will do whatever it takes to win. but hasn't figured out the right formula yet

I will have to agree with the concensus on this topic... I give him an "A" for desire and willingness... a "C-" for execution since our performance has been average to slightly below average (The Lions we are not)
