Perspective: Daniel Snyder’s many failures have lowered the bar virtually to the ground, presenting an opportunity for his successor to score immediate goodwill, Jerry Brewer writes.
That revelation came via a player survey administered by the NFL Players Association. The purpose wasn’t to humiliate the Commanders; it should be noted that players were dissatisfied with most of their teams when asked to evaluate them comprehensively in eight essential categories. But even in a sport full of profits-over-people leadership, the Commanders look especially bad. Even worse, it is the least surprising news of the offseason.
They failed or failed dramatically in half the categories, tying for last among the 32 teams or occupying the basement outright. The training staff got a D , and the food services a D-plus. The weight room was good enough for a C-plus. The strength coaches were exceptional, however, getting an A-plus, which tied for the best grade in the league.This is the latest glimpse into how much needs to be fixed after 24 years of Snyder’s negligent ownership.
These vital repairs make it all the more preposterous that Snyder is attempting to use this sale to erase all his problems. Considering his debt and cash flow issues, he should be happy to accept the highest bid and handle all the deplorable loose ends like a responsible human being.There is no cure-all for his various entanglements, which include investigations into alleged financial improprieties as well as the toxic, abusive workplace environment he created.
