We are almost there, folks. The end of the Daniel Snyder era as owner of the Washington Redskins/Commanders.
Undoubtedly, when people reflect on Snyder's reign years down the road, it is ultimately going to be remembered for all the wrong reasons (and rightly so). The perpetual losing on the football field was a direct product of the dysfunction that Snyder himself created at the top of the hierarchy. Those who put on the uniform and played between the lines were ultimately handcuffed from experiencing any real team success because of Satan himself. That all being said, it would be unfortunate to lose sight of the fact that there were some pretty talented football players that sported the burgundy and gold while Snyder was owner. I thought it would be cool to take a few moments to honour some of those individuals as Snyder heads for exit doors and we prepare to close this brutal chapter of the team's history for good. So here goes...I present to you the "Snyder Era" Awards.
Snyder Era Award Categories:
1. Team MVP - Which Snyder era player would we not have been able to live without as a team? Which player was most valuable and important towards overall team production, success, and performance?
2. Mr. Consistency Award - Who was 'Mr. Dependable' during the Snyder Era? Who was that guy that we could lean on most week in and week out to bring his 'A Game" on the gridiron, regardless of how the rest of the team performed?
4. Newbie of The Year Award - While there were a ton of Free Agency blunders under Snyder's reign, which Free Agency acquisition was most impactful towards the overall team?
5. Unsung Hero Award - This award will be given to the Snyder Era player that best personifies the spirit of football. That is, the player who positively affects teammates around them through a true willingness to contribute in whatever required capacity on the field and by focusing on doing the little things right to get the job done. He might not always get the accolades, but his contributions definitely do not go unnoticed.
6. Grinder Award - Given to the Snyder Era player who shows the best competitive spirit, fights for every inch, and knows what to do to set the tone on the team.
7. Most Exciting Player Award - Your pick for most electrifying Snyder era player.
8. "Pick Me Up" Award - Your pick for the player that seemed to give the team a jolt most consistently throughout the Snyder Era.
9. Coach Award - Very simply put, given to the coach (head, assistant, or coordinator) who did the best job navigating his way through Dan's bull***t while still getting some pretty solid results out of his players or positional unit on the football field.
Make your picks and let's hear what you think, BGO! Bye Dan!
