If fans could fire owners, Dan Snyder's number would be up

A recent Washington Post article highlights many of Snyder's failings, numerically.

Yikes. 

That was my initial reaction going through this Danny List. And yeah, I said that with all the conviction of a 1980's cartoon. Heavens to murgatroyd and all that. Dan Snyder has been the owner of the Washington Redskins for two full decades now. The team's performance over that stretch, let's just say that if fans were given the opportunity to choose the owner of their franchise, it's not likely Snyder would be able to rock that sweet Members Only jacket to his next jet-setting appointment..

The Washington Post's Jeffrey Tomek ran a piece on Thursday that put numerical values on Snyder's tenure, and it has been found wanting. 

Here are some quote-unquote highlights.

2:

The number of playoff wins the Redskins have had over the past 20 years. Washington’s last postseason victory was a 17-10 win over the Buccaneers on Jan. 7, 2006.

12-28:

The Redskins’ record against the Cowboys since 1999. In Snyder’s first six years, Washington was 1-11 against its biggest rival.

19%:

The drop in attendance at FedEx Field from 2017 to 2018. The Redskins had an NFL-low 74.4% home capacity last season, averaging about 61,028 fans per game. In 2017, the Redskins averaged 75,175 people per home game. In 1999, the Redskins were third in the NFL in home attendance, averaging 77,469 people per game.

19:

The number of Redskins starting QBs since 1999: Brad Johnson; Jeff George; Tony Banks; Shane Matthews; Patrick Ramsey; Danny Wuerffel; Tim Hasselbeck; Mark Brunell; Jason Campbell; Todd Collins; Donovan McNabb; Rex Grossman; John Beck; Robert Griffin III; Kirk Cousins; Colt McCoy; Alex Smith; Josh Johnson; and Mark Sanchez.

There's 15 more, just as stinging in Tomek's write-up. Outide of the Capitals breaking their Stanley Cup cherry, sports in the D.C. area have been difficult. Along with the Redskins lack of overall success, the Nationals failing to advance in the playoffs and now cratering out under the Lerner's family direction, and the Bullets not being the Bullets anymore, Leonsis' other investment are the only success story.

Well, that's if you don't include Snyder's wallet as perfectly summarized by the final entry on Tomek's list.

$3.1B: The estimated value of the Redskins franchise, nearly four times what Snyder’s group paid in 1999, according to a Forbes report last year. Despite the team’s struggles over the past two decades, Washington has the fifth-highest value in the NFL, behind the Cowboys ($5B), Patriots ($3.8B), Giants ($3.3B) and Rams ($3.2B).
