Must say, I don’t have any big issue with the QB change, I’m focused solely on the actions of Ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That point doesn't still stand lol... I disagree - but what either of us thinks doesn't really matter. The coaches have spoken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other guys know what an NFL QB looks like on game day, at practice, etc. I'm sure veterans can stomach growing pains if there is real commitment and growth, but Haskins hasn't shown that. There are may reasons why, but if the choice is between benching a player who really isnt where he needs to be or losing the team, then it's a clear choice.

GOATFrerotte Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 3 minutes ago, wit33 said: Huh? The laymen fan expected what we’ve seen from the team: a competent defense with a young offense that is struggling. Tough sell to say the coaches had no idea and not go all out to compete. I get this idea when out of contention to end a 4 game block to a season or something. I don't know what you're confused by. He started the season giving Haskins a chance and having a lot of unknowns. After 4 weeks he believes the team is better than expected and has a chance to win a pretty bad east. He along with many others doesn't believe Haskins gives him much of a chance to do that, so he's pulling the plug early. He literally tells you why he's doing it.

Skinsinparadise Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I am listening to the Rivera press conference, Standig just asked him about the tweet from Haskins' agent. Rivera had a funny quip back saying well then Kyle Allen will have the same unfair shake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderInTheRye Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Rivera from press conference (not exact quotes): "I think our best chance to win right now is by putting the ball in somebody elses's hands" "We have three capable quarterbacks. I've got two guys (Allen and Smith) that I've lined up as one two and that's what I'm going with." On Dwayne's agent saying Dwayne was in an unfair situation because of the talent around him : " It will be the same for Kyle. Kyle will have the same guys out there and have the same unfair shake and we'll see...look at the situation we have now in the next four games...I have a guy who has a feel backed up by another guy that has a better feel...I'm here to win and now is an opportunity to win." "I know he (Kyle) knows the offense he's been in the system." On what he told Snyder before making the decision to bench Haskins: "I don't tell anybody what I'm thinking... I thought about this the first of the year. Looked at the schedule...wanted to win 2 of the first four games... these are the things I thought about I went to Scott and Scott thought it's not a bad idea. We're putting the ball in the hands of someone who knows the system." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does not know how to think long term. The long-term thinking would have been to develop Haskins. Horse****. You have to win to keep the players playing hard. Losing helps no one. We should know this already. If you think you can win, you ****ing go out there and win. You dont sacrifice another year of every other player on this team just to watch Haskins grow. Especially when the coach is flat out saying the player IS NOT growing. There is not a single good NFL team that does that. Point one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was not that I didn't think Haskins knew...it was that there were options outside of Haskins knew and directed his agent to send that tweet, or Haskins knew and told his agent not to send that tweet.

Haskins played poorly. Ron pulled the plug. Not a whole lot to figure out. Ron said he gets the start against the Rams. For Aron to change that stance something must have occurred. Or he read the agents tweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 For anyone looking for Ron to convey that there is anything more to this than Dwayne simply not playing well enough, don't hold your breath. The man is not dumb, he has a 1st round draft pick from last year at the most important position in football, he's not about to go out there and throw dirt on his name. A depreciating asset, but an asset none the less. I also don't take Ron as a guy that's going to make a bad situation even worse for Dwayne by digging the hole deeper.

Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 14 minutes ago, IrepDC said: You guys are missing the point of bringing up Josh Allen. The grass is greener mindset only has you guys watching his highlights. His lowlights were equally as amazing. Washington would have been calling him a bust, brought in a coach who wanted someone else, and Allen would be another victim of our culture. Probably right. If he had been drafted by Jay/Bruce/etc in 2018 instead of signing Alex Smith. Odds would be against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never said that he made the change for the media's sake. He said that he made the change because the players on the team want to win, and that fans like us don't see the turmoil among the players when they're losing with Haskins. He also said it's ironic that the media is unhappy that Haskins is being benched after they were unhappy that Haskins wasn't being benched.

drowland Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Ron's doing what he has to do. They are heading into the softest part of their schedule and this team needs to feel like they're chasing something. Rams will be tough but then it's Giants, Cowboys, Giants, Lions, Bengals, Cowboys and then 4 tough games (Steelers, 49ers, Seahawks, Panthers) before they end with Philly which who knows what Philly will look like by then.
