I'm there! :woot:

Yeah I know there are a lot of people who think "Snyder's the GM anyway, why doesn't he just give himself the title and stop pretending like he's not."

I think the perception of him is that he's an overbearing owner to the point that he's even telling Zorn what plays to run and who to play. But the reality is that he's just like most other owners. The buck stops with him, but it takes many steps before it even gets to him.

How many owners really talk to the press during the season anyway? And what does he have to gain from it?

Ok, I'll agree that there is a general perception of him along those lines, and that much of it is likely false. But among people here on the warpath, e.g., there are still strong feelings & opinions that he has been less than exemplary in his dealings w/key people & coaches. See G. Williams & the rumors about Spags, Lavar, Coles, etc. I'd like to think the hardcore skins fans would at least try to like him. I really don't know whether to like him or not, but I think he's done more good than harm for the avg. fan over the last handful of years. (Note: I don't own any tickets!)

To answer your last question, when things that affect the team become public, Snyder, aside from the ST tragedy (which he handled w/class), only issues a statement through a spokesman, if that. I'm not saying in all cases he should step up to the podium, but his reluctance to do so only adds to what has been a fairly bad public image IMO.

As a person who has never liked Danny much, to try to like Snyder I tell myself that he's better than an owner who refuses to pay for needed talent.

Is it just me or does a piece like this come out every summer around this time??

Seems like it, look I've never doubted his heart for the team or the game and never have I said one word about his love for his family or the way he come in to help others.
My bitch on him is one thing and only one thing,he doesn't listen to the people who know the game,you guys need a GM and need to dump Vinny.

What does that even mean? These are the cliched canned responses people seem to have but what do you mean he doesn't listen to the people who know the game or we need a GM

Yea, he doesn't listen to people who know the game? Says who?

We all know how important first impressions are. Unfortunately for Snyder, he gave the public less than favorable first impressions his first 5 years or so. He has changed his ways to have more restraint in every aspect of his ownership. Knowledgeable fans realize this. However, the general public will not give him credit, until we start winning more consistently.

I feel kind of bad for him even though I used to hate him. He's done all the right things lately, with little payoff in the wins column. Hopefully that starts to change soon, I have a feeling it might.
