Redskins v. Raiders

Which team has the worst ownership? Dan Snyder vs. Al Davis

Pros:
  • He's not a cheapskate, however, he needs to spend his money wisely--not on over the hill veterans but on vets in their prime and up and coming players. In short, he needs to stop chasing "big" names.

Cons:
  • Dan Snyder needs to hire a GM (and fire Vinny Cerrato).
  • He needs to hire a coach not named Zorn
  • There needs to be a philosophical change in the way things are done in Washington. Everyone needs to play for their jobs every off season. The Redskins need to stop babying some so-called stars. If you can't practice, you can't do OTAs, you can't show up for training camp, you can't be a Redskin.

Al Davis

Pros:
  • Al Davis is another owner who has no problem opening a checkbook. But he needs to make wise financial moves. Drafting Jamarcus Russell so high was not one of those moves.

Cons:

  • Unfortunately, Davis is starting to lose some of his edge, healthwise, and really should relinguish some of the day to day duties, and decision making, to someone else in his organization.
  • The open letter to Lane Kiffin.
