I've talked about Kroenke's move to LA since 2010. St. Louis was always a pawn in his scheme.
But he's building a palace, has deep pockets and generally stays out of football decisions. For those reasons, he'll attract high profile people and will likely, at some point, win big.

Kroenke said this when speaking about Arsenal:

“If you want to win championships then you would never get involved. I think the best owners in sports are the guys that sort of watch both sides a bit. If you don't have a good business then you can't really afford to go out and get the best players unless you just want to rely on other sources of income.

The dude is a smart and successful businessman. He has all of the fiscal qualities you would want from an owner to go along with being hands off.
However, he openly says his priority isn't winning. What other owners have said that? And yes, I realize all owners in the NFL have the ultimate goal of making as much money as possible.
Additionally, the guy didn't say one word to the media in St. Louis or fans since January 2012, which was when Fisher was hired. What other owner that has the mental and physical capability to speak with people went years without speaking to local media?
