Lavar's twitter

[freddyg12]

Just read this on Dan Steinberg's DC sports bog. We haven't had a Lavar thread in a while, and certainly not one like this. He might have an axe to grind, but he also has some insight. Interesting read, Lavar the revolutionary!

D.C. Sports Bog - LaVar's Letter to Redskins Fans

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

hahahahaha

I had many similar looks during the game.. shock, disbelief, anger, etc

I happened to be surrounded by skins fans though... what a game to get row 4 seats behind the bench too

He is 100% right about the ownership. I sell T-shirts at the games that say TRADE SNYDER with a picture of him holding wads of money in his hand and he has devil horns and tail. He is the devil of the redskins and everyone that follows the NFL knows it.

I stopped reading after LaVar referred to himself as a "great of the past."

Not really, Lavar is still crying about sour grapes from WAAAAAY back! And he is far from being a Redskins great, not a chance in hell that he makes the ring of honor!

On one hand you have to take Lavar's Twitter with a grain salt because he's still pissed at Snyder over getting screwed out of all those millions and the public spat that ensued. But on the other hand he brings up a few interesting points. However, at the end of the day this is still Snyder's team and he'll do what he damn well pleases. It won't do the fans any good to march down to Redskins park and protest. Something like that would make for good media fodder though.

I'll also add that Lavar's argument, excuse me epiphany, is a bit flawed. Lavar presupposes that he's somehow in a unique postion to bring these things to light and that he is, perhaps, more passionate about the Redskins than Dan Snyder. I don't buy that. In fact, I don't at all question Snyder's passion for this team. His intentions may be misplaced at times, but I truly believe he has an abiding concern for this franchise.

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.

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.

I personaly think the best coach that was here during the Synder era was Marty and I found it very interesting that Lavar pointed out of all the coachs he played under here Marty was the only one not to fold under Dan's pressure.

Also no way Lavar actually wrote this tweet, it may be his ideas but someone else typed it up.

I do to. Marty had an 8-3 run at the end of his tenure and really seemed, after a rough start, that the roster was buying into what he was preaching and his rugged coaching style. Only problem was, Snyder wasn't having fun.

For those of you that think Snyder is not involved, just look at all the free agents that have been signed. They all thank Dan Snyder for his direct involvement. You have to be pretty blind to think Dan Snyder sits at Redskins park and is dumb to what the football operation sis doing.

Snyder is involved in all aspects of this franchise, there are wayyyyyyyyyyyy too many ex-players who have mentioned that besides Lavar Arrington.

Being blind to all this and thinkign dan Snyder is not the problem is an option for you. But, these problems are NOT from pre-Snyder Era, may I remind you that was a DECADE, TEN YEARS AGO! You mean to tell me boy genious can not fix things over a 10 year period??????????????? Other franchises do it over a few years.

Snyder is involved. That's why marty didn't last. That's why we have Zorn. Other reputable coaches won't coach here withotu Snyder ceding control. You think he will do that?

Well if Snyder is the problem ther is nothing that can change that because I don't see him selling the team anytime soon. Heck, I'm thinking of going to the game this Sunday.
