Now, i'm not saying I want Bruce to pick a QB. I absolutely don't. Ideally, I want Jay and Bruce both fired after 2019 and to let our new GM/HC make a pick in 2020. I'm just trying to be fair. Under Bruce, our last few major QB acquisitions have been pretty good .... its just that the team's dysfunction (much of which BA is responsible for) and/or bad luck have ruined our chances of making the most of those QBs.

people still defending RG3 as a good QB....the bottomline, the trade and pick which Bruce is the decision maker was one of the top all time bust. The trade itself was a top retard move...set the franchise back move. RG3 never did shit after the gimmick offense was uninstalled...give Shanny and son credit, the scheme was good for a year. RG3 is and always will be a terrible bust.

Defend the McNabb Trade and Contract next?

The handling of Cousins was god awful. Could have signed him to a cheap deal.... refused. Instead of trading him when value was max...let him walk with an end of the round 3rd round pick. Basically a 4th round pick folks.


Never drafting a competent young QB to learn under Cousins while you never intended to seriously sign.

The 3rd god aweful trade, this time for an Alex Smith who was coming off career best year...while also having the top NFL rushing attack with K Hunt. NOT ONLY trading for him, but quickly signing him for a long term deal...INSTEAD of waiting to see how he performed in Jays system. Which the apologist now conveniently claim...this wasn't his fault, it just wasn't a fit. BULLSHIT.

Bruce Allen has a history of fucking up the QB position period.
