Should Snyder listen to his players?

i dont care if the players love him. He makes poor decisions and doesnt properly prepare the team. Don't endorse someone that you will soon fire. It lowers your credibility

I am actually kind of surprised and quasi impressed that Snyder hasn't thrown Zorn out on his ass by now. Sure that is a function of there not being anyone who could step into the HC role but you would think that manchild Snyder wouldn't even think it that far through. He is doing the right thing, getting through this season and then in the offseason, get rid of Zorn and rebuild. Hopefully he will stop making personnel decisions like bringing in Hall, Smoot, Archuleta, Lloyd, Randle El, list goes on and on.

Come on now, why would Snyder give a rat's ass what the players think? For the most part, are they playing to their potential? Are they actually earning the ridiculous amount of $$$$$ Snyder is paying them to entertain us? Snyder is a business man, a very shrewd, and successful one at that. He can't lose even if the team sucks and the blame isn't on Snyder or the team. A bunch of it is with the crazyass fans that keep buying season tickets for this never ending soap opera of a football franchise. What is it, a 5 year waiting list? Shoot, all the present season ticket holders could cancel out for 2010 and they all will be replaced ASAP. THE NFL is a business and bieng that, is market driven. When you have people acting irrationally by gobbling up season tickets and merchandise for a bad football team, it obscures normal market proceedings. With the shrinking of the Skins revenue market in the mid 90's with the Ravens and Panthers divying up the once huge Skins TV market share, Snyder pretty much has maximized the profits all he can. You can say that winning the SB would boost sales, but by how much? Thing is Snyder and Jones have found out that keeping their team in a state of chaos keeps interest flowing. They hook the duped fans with new coaches, stud FA acquisitions, etc. Snyder actually outdid Jones in this aspect with bringing Gibbs back, with limited success. Bottom line is these guys know that it is all really nothing more than "bread and circuses" to amuse the masses with, and most of the folks that do attend the games know that deep down as well. That is why you will never have a fan "strike" or mass protests. The reason that is has had some mild success in Detroit with nobody showing up to games is more economic than actual protest.

I disagree. I think an effective leader needs to communicate to his employees better, one way or the other.

Snyder doesn't have to listen to anybody. His formula has made the Washington Redskins the most valuable professional sports franchise how many years now? Snyder trades off with his buddy Jones like every other year. Hell the Skins are worth more than Manchester United!!!!!

I think the players are asking for leadership from the FO and I don't fault them for that. They want to know if Zorn is going to be at the end of the season and if not bring in somebody now.
I agree, but Snyder is in a bind. If he fires the Zorn early on he just throws fuel on the fire of his not so great reputation about keeping a short leash, so you get an endorsement that will last 11 weeks, then unless a miracle occurs, it is see ya later. As for leadership from the FO? What are they supposed to do? They are running the financial aspects of the franchise pretty well, and with the highest payroll is the NFL the players shouldn't be bitching. Yeah, the personnel issues are not being handled well, but then again, all these guys are professionals and should be playing to a professional level. The FO should be bitching about the shoddy play from the players themselves. The players are just taking a cue from the fans and trying to direct blame away from them.

I keep hearing from people that you would think.....know. Doc Walker (who is a PLAYER GUY) talking about the apparent lack of strong locker room leadership. As you say 53, rally around the guy and play as a "unit".


........anyone see the John Riggins you tube vidio?




YouTube - Twitter @Riggo44 says it's time for Linus to lose the blanket.....

Snyder should tell his players to listen to the coaches. Also, Snyder should tune in to 106.7 and listen to the LaVar Arrington sports talk show. You can tell that LaVar is my favorite Redskin, even though he doesn’t play anymore. In fact, Portis should listen to LaVar’s show also.

LaVar fired his assistant for not having the car warmed up for him at 6:00AM.
