Lavar's twitter

Also, if you want the true hollywood story on Dan wait until Cooley is either traded, released or retires. He is going to tell it like it is. He is vocally now beut I am sure he keeps quite now about Dan becasue who would bite the hand that feeds you but once he is truley done being feed by Dan the turth will fly.

I guess I just don't understand the Snyder hate. I think it's all still based on when he first became an owner, and even Snyder admitted he made a mistake early in his career. I feel like Snyder runs the business side of the skins. Yeah, he wants to see whats going on and know what's happening in his organization, I'd be the exact same way. He was a tie breaker between Vinny and Gibbs, not as if he was saying Draft player X.

Snyder is an easy scapegoat I guess for fans to blindly blame when a team is doing poorly. I think this teams performance for the last decade has fallen primarily on the coaches and earlier in the decade, we didn't have much talent. Gibbs on -- coaching has been lacking.


That's my belief too. Rather than see an owner who is learning and changing, it sounds like LaVar is stuck in the past (where he was a Redskins great :yeahright) and is just hating Snyder.

I love the Skins fan in this pic, pretty much sums up how I feel watching the game on Sundays

You found tryfuhl! :rofl:

With all apologies to Matty, LaVar is the true Ego. Having spent a lot of time with him (granted it was over five years ago), I know he is an extremely stubborn, "I am never wrong" person. Nice guy, courteous. But he pretty much has remained bitter because people in the organization told him what he apparently had never been told before "You know what LaVar...sometimes your shit does stink"

He needs to get over it already

That said, the ownership situation had serious issues when LaVar was here. The ownership situation is soooo much better than it was when LaVar was here. Sooo much better. RIP Gerald Snyder but he was way too influential in roster decisions back in the day. And then there was Fred Drasner, who was basically everything fans assume Snyder to be. I believe Dan Snyder was too influenced by the impetuous nature of Drasner and the desire to get his dad all the players he wanted. With Fred Smith and especially Dwight Schar Snyder (Dan) has a stronger ownership group supporting him.

You know there are plenty of ex-Skins out there that don't have anything negative to say about Snyder. In fact they probably outnumber those that are always railing on him.

The problem is that even if Lavar is right, there is nothing to be done about the situation other than to pray that Snyder wakes up.

Snyder has owned the team long enough to learn and know the NFL. The learning and changing phase is over for Dan. He's got the money. If he needs to realize that building a winning team starts from the top down. It starts with him. I do realize in his mind, he thinks he is doing everything possible to build a winning team, but he is ignoring key areas in making that possible. Vinny is not the answer. The hands on approach to an NFL team isn't the answer either.

That's my belief too. Rather than see an owner who is learning and changing, it sounds like LaVar is stuck in the past (where he was a Redskins great :yeahright) and is just hating Snyder.

It's been 10 years. The time for learning has passed. We should be getting better results. But I do agree that LA isn't exactly the guy to be selling the message. What with being all bitter and totally biased. Maybe B Mitch would be better. Oh wait..

I used to feel the same way but now I'm coming around to the idea that the common denominator all along has been Snyder.

We've tried different coaches with different philosophies and obtained the same results. I don't buy the talent issue or the coaching issue. There's no way this team should be losing to the Lions or barely beating the Rams. I'm not saying we have the most talent in the league, but we're certainly in the middle of the pack at least and shouldn't be struggling with the bottom feeders of the league.

I do think it's time for Snyder to hire a reputable football mind to be the GM and run the show with 100% authority over all football related decisions, and time for Snyder to step into the background and resign himself to inking the paychecks only.

My thoughts exactly. I'll never say Dan Snyder doesnt want to win, because he clearly tries very hard to win. He doesnt bring in a guy like Albert Haynesworth because he just wants to get by and cash paychecks... We may disagree with Snyder on a lot of things, but you cannot deny the guy wants to win football games...

I am just coming aroudn to the fact that he doesnt know how. We need someone who has proven they know how to build a successful football team and have them start to actually build this team. Games are won and lost in the trenches.. I cannot understand why we have ignroed the offensive lines so much the last 2/3 seasons, yet draft guys like Fred Davis when we already have an all - pro tight end. I understand we had a great offensive line in 2005/2006, but we have to be looking ahead as well when things are going well (even though the Oline was all that was giong well in 06), and get guys ready to step in when guys are getting old. I dont think Randy Thomas ever plays a down for the Skins' again, so we have Reinhardt in there.. what if he goes down? We have a guy who was a rookie undrafted free agent ready to fill in?

I'm starting to think about the reason we hear Vinny Ceratto is so "high" on these guys.. is because its going to look awful we have to admit they're nothing more than backups.

I'm just ranting now, but I agree with Matty. It is time for a football mind to take hold of the Redskins and build the team.

PS: While I'm sure he's not 100% incorrect... and I probaboly sided more with LaVar at the begining... he just needs to let it go, he sounds like more and more of a little baby each time he talks about Snyder... Granted I dont know what happened, but move on... and you should not be considering yourself as great as "B-Mitch, Charles Mann, Art Monk, Riggo, Monte Coleman, the Hogs" ... Chris Samuels who was drafted a spot after you is 100x the Redskin you were.
