But if that level of meddling torpedoes the current trajectory on Scot's watch (which, based on Sunday, seems pretty promising -- winning in the trenches is the key, and we've made real strides), I will be forced to conclude that the Redskins are doomed basically for the rest of my life. I really, really hope this doesn't happen.

Not sure which part of the discussion you jumped in on but we were discussing the hypotheticals if Jay got fired.

Personally, I can't see anyway Scott gets fired. But, J isn't Scott's guy. And if J fails this year, with "his" QB I can see how Scott would be ready to move in with "his" guy.

Do you really believe that SM would keep Griffin if he lets Gruden go.

IF J fails and is fired as a consequence of his own incompetence?

Yes, I absolutely can see Scott keeping Griffin.

I do appreciate 'inside' information from time to time. And no disrespect intended, I always take inside information with a huge grain of salt even if the person receiving and relaying the information to us is above the board they are still subject to hersey, telephone effect and misunderstanding that can happen with this type of information.

I have a lot of respect for Scott and I have a hard time believing that Scott would allow people to know how he feels about Griffin one way or another. I doubt Scott will ever wittingly be the source of a leak.

All I know are Scott's public comments about not giving up on Griffin:

And Jay’s system, that’s a tough system the first year for to learn, you know? So, I’m very curious to see how his second year goes. Very curious.”

And as it turns out Jay has done exactly what Scott said he didn't want to do: give up on Griffin.

That was SM's comments when he first got the job. That was BEFORE ota's, minicamp, training camp and the pre season games. He looked at what he saw and agreed with Gruden to bench him for good. What else is there to discuss?

Clearly, your question was unresponsive. This is a high school debate club and not a Redskins fan site, so stay on topic!

It seems clear that RGIII isn't high on Scot's list of starting QBs. If Snyder really thinks that RGIII is the guy to lead the team and keeps pushing (or demanding as folks seem to think is happening behind the scenes), I can imagine friction there. Let's be honest, there's been friction with everyone, save Gibbs, and the owner. I don't disagree that it's far more likely that Jay gets axed before Scot does, but our owner is capable of anything.

I tend to think something will happen with RGIII before the end of the season anyway.

I guess anything is possible. I just can't see Scott getting the axe though....Bruce? He certainly deserves it, but his last name prolly buys him more leeway then he deserves.

If Derek Carr's injury was more serious Oakland could have been a landing spot, if Griffin in indeed on the trading block.

I agree -- Bruce deserve the axe, but sadly he probably won't get it. I just hope that Scot sticks around for a while and that Snyder shows the maturity and patience to give the guy room and time to do his job effectively. So far, it's hard not to be impressed with what he's done, with Preston Smith, Scherff, and Jones all contributing significantly. Hopefully, we will see more out of Crowder and Spaight as well.

Snyder see's whats up. That's more contributing players than our last 5 drafts.......collectively.

That's true. We've really had some horrible drafts in recent years. Hard to recall the last one that led to multiple starters who lasted for more than a few years. 2000?
