None of us knows if 'Snyder has been hands on' - NONE of us. Maybe he has, maybe he hasn't. I really could give a rat's ass either way. I care about not sucking. I care about wins. I care about making the playoffs. And I care about not being a perennial ****ing cellar-dwelling embarrassment of a franchise while the Cowboys win playoff games.
And that's the basis on which I'll judge this move and the basis on which I'll judge Dan Snyder who, I don't care if he's your adopted father, has delivered nearly nothing but suckitude to Redskins fans since he got here. I don't care if it's poor Dan's fault, or he's the unluckiest well-intentioned rich guy alive.
From all appearances this hiring, along with finally giving Haslett the heave ho, is the best possible one we could have made. That's a good thing. It doesn't change the history we've lived not even a little. This move changes things when things change. When we consistently draft great players. When we consistently cut bad players. When we thank and then move older non-productive vets (thanks for the memories Santana) out to pasture. When we stop signing guys past their prime for more than they are worth or can ever produce. When we find those hidden gems over and over again in the draft and free agency. When we establish a home field advantage. When coaches who can't get the job done, friends, family, or whatever, are shown the door. When winning, winning, and more winning is all that matters. When we are a perennial playoff contender that other teams don't want on their schedule. Then things will have changed.
I'm open to the possibility. I've been waiting 20 years for the possibility. I'm excited about the possibility. But nothing has changed. Not yet. When changes happen, I'll acknowledge 'things have changed'. And my outlook, mood, and appreciation for my team will change too.
And that's exactly how it should work my friends. At least in my world.
