I do not question that he is a veteran. He even can play multiple positions and even fill in as a spot starter. That is not my issue. My issue is even though he can do those things the quality of his play is not good. Since it is not good I would rather have other players fill in for him and see if we can trade him for something, even another back up player who has the potential of starting. I don't want back ups just to be back ups, even though that is probably a necessity. I would rather be training starters than keeping mediocre to poor bacckups.

He's not a mediocre back up. He's a quality back up that has multiple uses. A mediocre to poor back up would be somebody that can only play 1 position, and poorly at that. Snyder is not that type of player.


Besides, what exactly were you thinking his value would be? It wouldn't be worth anything valuable enough to consider trading. I can appreciate you trying to come up with ways to improve the roster, but trading Snyder just wouldn't be one of them.

One person thinks Snyder is quality, I don't. But if possible I would like to get a 4th or 5th round pick for him if he was traded, or even higher if someone else thinks he is a quality player.

Problem is recently players have been worthless as far as trades go. It's not like it use to be plus there have been more of them. Ginn Jr. for 5th, Patrick Crayton for 7th, Holmes for 5th, about 20 players for 6ths... Snyder would probably get a 7th at best. Really not worth it....

You don't think Snyder is a quality player, yet you think he's worth a 4th round pick (or better)? That's a logic that fits nicely into the madness that is Niner Talk.

You are correct, I don't think Snyder is a quality players. No I don't think he is worth a 4th round pick. But I do think that some teams are potentially desperate for Olinemen, and if someone wanted to give us a 4th rounder for Snyder I would take it. The issue is I don't want Snyder on the team and if i could trade him and get something for him I would do that.

You're are 100% underestimating the value of a good backup, and I'm glad our front office does not see eye to eye with you on this.

That is pure comedy

its not my baby. What's more cruel is someone would upload the video of their own baby for anyone to see online

It is clear that the front office does not see Snyder the way I do. But if he gets traded to some other team I will be happy on several levels.

I think you are in the minority with your stance. Snyder isn't a star by any means, yet he isn't a terrible player. We could do much worse than to keep Snyder with his extreme versatility on the line than to take a limited specialist.

Snyder is definitely someone we need to keep because of his versatility.

i feel bad if anyone bought his jersey because he sucks

Who on the team or practice squad is better as a back up. Who are yo training to be starters? If he was so bad why did he make the roster while others didn't. Because he is better than you think. All of these arm chair talent scouts sure crack me up.

I wouldn't trade the guy. I think he's garbage as a starter, but as many people have stated he can back up almost every spot on the line.
Also, you have to have someone ready to step in for Rachal. Rachal is easily the worst player on the line and if he struggles Snyder could easily fill in.

Lets not forget how bad this line was last season. Alot of that could be BECAUSE of Snyder, but that really isn't fair. Snyder is NOT a tackle, but he played RT because the TEAM asked him to. This line could still struggle early in the season. 2 rookies, 1 back-up center, and Rachal could all struggle. Snyder gives the team alot of flexability

yeah let's not and say we did

Out of all of our players, Snyder is the weakest OL player in comparison to his salary.

He is a serviceable player as a backup OG, but horrible at OT. When he's gotten an opportunity to start games that various positions (LT, LG, RG, RT), he's always been replaced by someone else (Staley, Rachal, and Davis are names that come to mind).

If we can get a backup swing OG in the 2011 draft, you can say goodbye to Snyder.

If we can draft a decent replacement, I wouldn't mind seeing him go. But as of right now, we don't have the depth to just send him packing.
