JSSkinz Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 20 minutes ago, SweatSuit said: The point is that it’s funny the board flipped from ripping Alex a new one to propping him up as our only real chance at playoffs and we’re screwed without him. I dont think its funny, honestly its sad that we've become so desperate that our hopes have been placed on a guy who is coming off 17 surgeries. I was indifferent on the trade at first and quickly realized I couldn't watch him be the long term solution and I still can't but like Ron said in one of his pressers, "these are the players we have" and we have to make the best of it. The fact he wins can't be denied but he's not a good QB, he's just a solid professional who can manage a game and give us a chance. His toughness and resilience are off the charts but I don't think Alex would start on any other team in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrell Green Fan Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 1 hour ago, SweatSuit said: Seriously guys, I get Dwayne has been less than stellar and that this latest (moronic) decision creates more angst toward him. But had Hopkins not missed the extra point we are very likely talking about a 20 point quarter and taking the game into overtime against a very good Seattle team lead by one of the best QBs in the game. Let’s not pretend that didn’t happen and that we are absolutely screwed without Alex Smith, who at one point was eviscerated on this very board for being too boring and check down Charlie. What a refreshing take. But you are totally discounting how Dwayne's horrible first half lead to deficit that was too big to overcome. You are also not giving the defense the credit they deserve for holding Seattle to only 20 points. I'm not a fan of Alex's game, I hope he does retire so we can move on because he gives us no chance to actually do something in the playoffs. But it's pretty clear that Alex Smith gives this team a much better chance for a win on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the message of that post made it pretty clear that he is backing Dwayne's play in that game and claiming it's not so clear that he will be worse than Alex on Sunday.

Est.1974 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 What a wild year. Guess we are now rooting for Haskins to get the win over Ron’s old team, to probably clinch the division. Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sometime attempting to make a point to someone that is set in their ways of thinking is futile. Carry on....agree to disagree. Not for anything, but you did just that the second you brought up Rothlesberger (sp?). One has nothing to do with the other. Haskins has already been caught out once this year and did it a second time. It’s like... what’s your deal, Dwayne? This isn’t about maturity. This is someone who just doesn’t care and has never been told “No.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalSkins Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 The Panthers owner is a hedge fund guy who is obsessively analytics driven. He fully understands the value of losing and holding on to the 4th pick in the draft which would fall to 9th or worse with a win. The coach is aligned with the owner. No chance CMC will play. We need to take an early lead and they will quit. Let’s not make Haskins a hero for beating a team that wants to lose. Logan Thomas at QB should beat these guys.

We had something like 250 yards on the ground and three rushing TDs. Haskins was 13/25 for 147 yards and no TDs. I wouldn’t say he beat them.

This is someone who just doesn’t care and has never been told “No.” Ala the $40k. Again you missed the point relating to Roth... And like Ron, this is my last comment regarding this incident. It's been been resolved/addressed. Whatever will be, will be. The team plays in a couple days and most in that organization are focused on Sunday. I'm joining them.

mhd24 Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Haskins inspires no confidence out there. I'm rooting for the rest of the 52, but I hope he's out of here at the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll keep you from going insane. Rothlesberger (sp?) should be in a jail, but comparing him to Haskins won't get anyone anywhere. It's like kids. I can't compare my kids to what other kids do, I can only do as they require and what I think is best. This was a case where Haskins knew there could have been an issue and still didn't seem to care. This goes deeper than just immaturity and it's not often than someone can be this much of a knucklehead and get right on the field. The former will prevent the latter. I've been thinking the same thing. I don't think it's a guarantee that haskins immaturity will change. Some guys are just knuckleheads. Did Pacman Jones stop being a knucklehead as he matured? AB?
