Around SBN: SB Nation NFL Power Rankings for Week 11

Bob McNair Is The 7th Best Owner In The NFL!

So says Michael Silver, anyway.  You'll pardon me if I take this with a grain of salt, considering Daniel Snyder, he of the propensity for signing free agents to ridiculously inflated contracts, is ranked fifth on Silver's list.  Still, it's nice to see that the Fourth Estate thinks the Texans are "the most media-friendly organization in the league."  That has to be worth at least five wins, right?  Right?

For the record
Dan Snyder's Redskins didn't spend a penny more on personnel than the other 32 teams in the league are allowed to spend.

While I agree that Snyder overpays inferior talent (sometimes), I think much of the noise made about his free-spending ways is overblown.

Re: Snyder
A point of clarification--there's absolutely nothing wrong with an owner spending top dollar for talent.  That's capitalism, and it's good.  My comment about Snyder was meant to mock the signings of Deion Sanders, Bruce Smith, Adam Archuleta, Jeremiah Trotter, Fred Smoot, Cris Dishman, etc.

Snyder (and every other owner, for that matter) should never hesitate to dole out big bucks for talent.  I was merely making light of WHO Snyder has doled out money for in the past.

Looking forward to a day when being a Texans fan doesn't mean that April is the highlight of my season...

No doubt
that he's made some very poor personnel decisions.
