Honestly he measure of an owner is how he/she treats their employees, not just players, as far as I'm concerned, followed by on field success, business acumen, etc. etc.
If media reports are to be believed, not well at all.

Isn’t that what we are doing?? It doesn’t say talk about everything positive or only things that can be proven true about the Washington Redskins. I can’t speak for anyone else but why do I get told….”You have no way of proving that…please provide a link” Of course I don’t…it’s my opinion. I have no more way of proving it then you do of not proving it!! And forget about providing a link (I stopped that a wile ago) because (unless it’s positive) it will be ripped to shreds. Now before you start tearing the site apart to show me example to the contrary don’t I’m not asking for them and I’m not saying it’s the norm here but it seems it is headed in that direction.
I come here to read “opinions” I enjoy and respect everyone opinions (positive and negative) I don’t see them has right or wrong they’re just opinions. Snyder topics seem to bring out the worst in us. And if you say one thing negative you’re labeled a hater. Again speaking for me…nothing could be further from the truth. In fact I agree with more things that Snyder does than I disagree with. I think I have been pretty consistent….I hate giving up picks I want the team to draft and develop more of its own players. It was so nice to watch Kelly, Thomas and Orakpo on the field. I have given the FO credit for the moves (with exception of giving up a 2nd for Taylor) in the past few years. I don’t like big FA spending on guy to become the “savior” I would rather have a guy playing for a big contract. I prefer low key right priced guys that can be plugged into the system. We have many great example of that here, I know people (and I stopped) keep bringing up the past mistakes…but in all fairness, because as many here are quick to point out…we don’t know what goes on at Redskins Park… all we have to go by ( as RIC says) is the results on the field. I don’t complain about ticket prices at Fedex just about the way the team goes about upgrades and holding back tickets that lead to events like what happened at last years Steeler game. I have witness first hand (and have been involved) with all the great charitable work that Snyder and the team does…I wish it was covered more!! If you get tired of hearing how much Snyder stinks than why reply…because he is going to be our owner for the foreseeable future no one can give an opinion on him?? RIC likes to throw around the “A” word, while I really don’t agree with him some of you are headed in that direction. If this post bothers you that’s because a hit dog always yelps!! Relax guys enjoy the season!!
Isn't everyone allowed to post their opinions? Or do staff members have to refrain from doing so because they are staff members? If one person can bash the front office as their opinion, why is it so unacceptable for someone else to opine to the opposite position. I don't recall anyone ever saying everyone has to post a positive opinion. No one has been suspended or reprimanded for posting something negative about the team. When mods aren't acting in an official capacity, they are just members, and as such, I don't see a problem with anyone challenging a negative opinion any more than you are challenging them for not liking negative opinions.

Couldn't agree more... my point is when either side takes what is said as "fact" and acuses the other side of being "wrong" are opinions wrong??

DEhog,
The only FACT is the RECORD. Anything else is wishful thinking, smoke and mirrors, snake oil and making wishes upon a star.
The fans who refuse to address the root cause of the state of the RECORD are called the apologists, dreamers, homers and blind followers. All of them have memberships in the lollipop club.
Those are kind of fans Dan Snyder hopes to rely on for steady business. He does not need to set any traps. He just counts on the blind loyalty to the Skins to go on with business as usual.
Sincerely,
RiC
Daniel Snyder has defined incompetence, failure and greed to true Washington Redskins fans for over a decade and a half. Stay away from football operations !!!
