To be honest, I really do think your issues are unfair. The guy had just inherited the team from his father who was one of the most respected people in league history. I'm sure there was some learning curve and I'm sure there was some time where he was trying to find his equilibrium in terms of being hands on/hands off.
Let's just play revisionist history and say within the first few years of his controlling the organization, he meddles in the everyday player personnel decisions like who is starting at QB. He then gets a reputation for that sort of behavior. You might like it because you want your owner to visibly care, but when it's 2013 and we need a new GM and head coach, do you think Reid and Dorsey go to a team with an owner like that? I think doubtful.
I think it would be difficult establishing a balance between being a fan and being an owner. Because like it or not, as an owner, you can't act or respond to things like a normal fan without potential consequences down the road.
