The Haskins Threat

It is absolutely true, we have no plan beyond "fire Gruden if he gets off to a bad start."

What is Dan and Bruce's plan, beyond making Gruden the scapegoat for all the team failures?

Next offseason they will hire another HC, most likely from a weak group of candidates because no sane man will want to work for Dan and Bruce.

I think most reasonable fans understand a rookie QB is going to struggle especially on a bad team.

Id like to think most reasonable fans would understand a rookie is going to struggle and its more about the process than results .... but how many fans are reasonable?

A percent of fans wanted him to start week 1, no matter what. Now a portion of fans think he is a bust because its being leaked hes not ready and its week 7.

We HAVE to play the rookie at least 5-7 games to see what we have. If they dont start him against the Bills or Jets ... it would sadly continue a long line of indefensible illogical decisions.

I think (and kinda hope) the Vikes roast us and the noise to not start Haskins is to loud to ignore.

I expect him to struggle.

You know Matty, normally I agree with you on most things but if this thread (before tonight's game) is evidence of anything it's that it doesn't matter how many reasonable fans are willing to stick by Haskins, there are already people here ready to declare Haskins a bust because he clearly needs serious development.
