Taylor703 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I'm sorry but I just don't think the team up and decided to give Jay an extension so the focus would come off of McCloughan. That is so ridiculously far-fetched that it's almost not even worth acknowledging. This had to be a deal they've been working on for awhile.

At the same time, he ain't going nowhere until the summer at the earliest. He wouldn't have to give specific information necessarily, the knowledge itself would be huge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBeast Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 GMSM is a hell of a resource, that this team desperately needs...If any of this is true? I hope we find a way to keep him in some capacity and I feel really bad for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrobert Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Per Rotoworld... Mike Jones seems to believe Redskins president Bruce Allen used NFL Network's Ian Rapoport as a mouthpiece to spread the rumor as a misinformation tactic with the Redskins embroiled in front-office drama. Ultimately, the Redskins decided giving Jay Gruden a two-year extension would be better P.R. "Bruce was like, alright we gotta do something because my fake Ian Rapoport Redskins three-way trade thing didn't work to change the story." Jones suggested the Redskins are now seen as so dysfunctional NFL agents are wary of their players signing with Washington because they're unaware of who's in charge. GM Scot McCloughan did not attend the Combine and is expected to be let go after April's draft. I love my Redskins but this is outta control. Snyder has to step in, as much as we all hate how controlling he has appeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm lukewarm at best on Allen, but is he really the common denominator to all the problems win the organization?? Things were going pretty horribly before he showed up too. If you want to go by numbers, we've had 3 winning seasons in the 7 he's been here. Not great, but head and shoulders better than the previous years (Gibbs aside).

DiscoBob Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 *Sigh* People here can bash the media all they want. But the team is like the teenager who shows up to prom in a leisure suite. Sure, you can hope that the other kids don't make fun of him, but in the end, you recognize that he probably should have thought about that when he picked out his outfit. Yes, the DC media is bad with their speculation, but did you really expect anything different with the way the team has mishandled recent situations (given the Snyder track record of dysfunction)?

Im not really sure what Snyder can do that hasn't already been done by the team. All of this has been addressed. If the media wants to run with their own version of the facts, so be it, but the Redskins owe them nothing else. Eventually, they can either choose to be actual professionals, or, if there is indeed something there, present actual proof of their claims. If the Redskins were clearly as dysfunctional right now as they claim, proof should be pretty easy to come by. Yet they don't even have a confirmed source from within the organization (those used yo be awesome), which at one point, were a near daily occurrence.

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Where's Art now that we truly need him?!?!?!?!? By the way, I absolutely love the idea of Jay Gruden having his weekly Saturday night family dinner at Red Lobster or Chilis and getting an urgent text from Bruce Allen: "We need to sign you TONIGHT!!!!!"

There are many available NFL-personnel people out there who can scout players and feed the data to Jay (and without drama). This Board has demonstrated that picking players is not rocket science. Many of the Fans on this Forum can do at least as well as Scotty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsPassion4Life Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Is it possible they told SM to go home, because they did not want him around the combine and as they finalize their draft grades? This would allow them to part ways now instead of after the draft and not worry that he has too much insider info on the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad, I meant source in general (anonymous). All the "inside source" quotes I've seen so far have denied this. Before, back when the organization was indeed in chaos under Shanghai Mike, there were leaks all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Est.1974 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Has Scot been seen recently? We're doing a fine job of keeping him quiet. If he doesn't show face by the weekend I'll start to worry that the wrong family member has been buried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 2 hours ago, justice98 said: Why does anybody lie about anything? Wouldn't be the first time somebody lied for no reason. So now Jones is on the list of negative reporters. Jones has been on that list for a long time. He does write for the WaPo. So you ask the question "why" someone lies, but then pretend people lie for no reason. Thats absurd. People dont lie for no reason. Nobody has ever lied for no reason. They lie for a very specific reason, or group of reasons, usually resolving around they want something, or to avoid something, and a lie will get them what they want. What reason do the Redskins have to lie in the case they are parting ways with someone they dont like? If someone can come up with one, they might have a point. You just have absurdity.

Busch1724 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 If any of this is true on Bruce's part...he must be fired! Not because of doing anything wrong, but just the fact that he thought it would be a good idea to throw out the idea of a three way trade for Romo to divert the attention away from GMSM. This is the definition of incompetence and leadership. It's frustrating to think we have folks in leadership roles that think this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I think a lot of this from the local media is butthurt over giving Keim the Jay Gruden extension scoop and Bruce Allen going outside the local media to answer combine questions.

I may be wrong, but I think Jones was just kidding about Allen making up the Romo trade to deflect interest from SM.

I could almost hear him laughing while saying it. I do think he believes the Redskins announced the Jay contract for PR as much as anything. But I just can't see him making that kind of accusation and leaving it out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
