What I find crazy is only 2 qb’s were on team .. at least have a practice squad QB or something.. damn bad decision! I can think of several players that are in this roster that don’t warrant the position as much as third qb would.. bet next year they carry three..

I don’t blame them for carrying 2 QB’s, plenty of teams do it. It’s tough to have 3 QB’s when one is going to be inactive each week. Nobody can plan for having your top 2 QBs breaking their legs.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk[/QUOTE]I agree but when bringing in Sanchez you have to wonder if they even thought about bringing in a qb off of another team's practice squad, like you said 2 qbs with broken lega in 2 weeks is unheard of.

I don’t agree. We’ve seen the DCs change, but the results are the same. The common denominators are Allen and Gruden. Also, it was them that picked these coordinators, and passed over people like Wade Phillips. At what point do you hold the decision makers on picking these DCs responsible!!??

The defense was the only bright spot at the start of the year. We’ve seen 3 coordinators. Can’t keep blaming them. This is a bigger problem.

I know Snyder has a long history of making rash moves, but he has every right to fire Allen and Gruden now. I’m sure most people would completely support him too.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk[/QUOTE]I disagree. I think an in season firing only happens if Allen goes. Jay basically said his staff isnt changing and DS wouldn't/shouldn't be hiring or firing assistant coaches. Snyder also has been vocal about not firing coaches midseason, but the last time it got this bad -9 years ago- we did wake up to see VC out on his ass.

Bruce and Jay are safe until the end of the season.

Bruce will certainly be let go. He’ll go to Oakland and be a puppet “GM” for Jon Gruden.

Snyder will work behind the scenes to try and lure another big name coach here. I doubt he’ll succeed, so I Jay will get another year under the new GM (probably Kyle Smith). If Snyder can lure a big name here (maybe a Harbaugh), then i think Jay lands in Cleveland or perhaps even in Oakland as OC.

If they finish with a winning record while he's HC, and don't keep him that would be the most Browns thing ever.

Bruce Allen should have been fired fuckin 5 years ago along with 3-13 Mike Shanahan.

BaltimoreSkins 12-10-2018 10:51 AM

Re: Is the End Near For Bruce Allen?
 
I would've kept Shanny and fired Bruce it is clear there was a power struggle there. I would trust Mike's football IQ over Jay. Plus Mike was considered to be a disciplinarian like everyone wants leading the staff right now.

Also, with a young QB, they are going to want to bring in an offensive minded HC to the mix.

I keep reading that we passed over on Wade Phillips but I was under the impression that he chose the Rams over the Redskins. Did the Redskins actually pass on him?

Yes we passed over him and went with Barry. We could have had him here, son was on staff.

Yes you read that right, passed on Wade and went with Barry.

And then passed on Gus Bradley to go with Manusky.

This 'only hire people you know' stuff is fucking idiotic to me. Honestly I don't understand it. I'm a hiring manager, I cast as wide a net and get the best possible resume I can, I don't care who they are. And I can't understand why it would be any different in football. It's poor leadership by Gruden.

Schneed10 12-10-2018 02:41 PM

Re: Is the End Near For Bruce Allen?
 
I lot of people shat on Gus Bradley at the time he was available but his Chargers are currently 6th in points allowed, 8th in yards allowed, 6th in passing yards allowed, and 12th in rushing yards allowed.

Fucking Gruden.

Vinny C was on Sheehan's podcast today.

Initially, I wanted to take my vote back on who is a better GM, he or Bruce, because he is the biggest idiot I've ever heard talk football. Often the passage of time softens anger or disappointment.

Then I thought, he had a better record than the Prince of Darkness Bruce.

It really is quite remarkable.

skinsfan69 05-11-2019 09:15 AM

Re: Is the End Near For Bruce Allen?
 
Vinny's just a dumb guy. I mean who hires a bingo caller to come in during the middle of a football season to call plays? How can you honestly do that and expect to be taken seriously? As terrible as Allen is, he's actually not a dumb guy. He's just a pure 100% brown nosing politician. Every big corporate outfit has a Bruce Allen type. If Dan Snyder asked Bruce to hand wash his underwear Bruce would gladly do it, then hand it back to Snyder folded and pressed with starch. I actually dislike people like Allen more than someone like Vinny.

The fact that Dan Snyder first has an ass-clown like Vinny as the "all but in the name" GM shows that what he wants is a butt-kisser, not someone who knows anything about football. The reason he keeps Bruce around is that Allen can talk to the politicians about getting the new stadium that Snyder wants. I actually think that Bruce and Snyder believe that crap about "winning off the field" . Especially when you can't do it on the football field.

What Snyder doesn't realize is that if the Redskins were a winning franchise, ON THE FIELD, the politicians might want to fund the new stadium! Allen doesn't have the GM talent to get them there.
