I am working in such extreme heat today, and I actually take pride in my menial job. It takes me a decade or so to gross a million dollars. That guy made millions for what? Derailing a football team because he has zero work ethic, and yeah he brags about it. Fuck him and the horse he rode in on. He may be a millionaire but he is a bust at his job.

Do you think his lack of work ethic and bragging was a surprise to WFT, I don't. I think they (as in Dan Snyder) chose to ignore the red flags and draft him anyway. Drafting players like DH is what bad organizations like WFT do. DH didn't derail WFT, WFT has been derailing itself for close to 30 years now.

Couldn’t agree more. I think with Ron here we are safe from the wrath of Dan for the foreseeable future, well at least as far as draft picks go….

Gruden did an interview on Sheehan's podcast a few months back as I recall he was saying many weren't keen on drafting Haskins. It sounded to me like WFt new what they were getting.

Oh yeah. It's no secret they had a 2nd round grade at best on him, it was Snyder's pick.

I don't get on line much but I read the posts every day. I realize that Fitzpatrick is probably the best quarterback we have but I do not understand or agree with the many posts about how great he is. He has been replaced everywhere he has gone. That tells me that he is not a real NFL starting quarterback but is a stop gap at best. Can anyone explain why the love affair some members on this board have with him. I am not being critical, just curious.

Maybe you'll understand when he throws a 40 yard completion on 4th and 30 with 2 minutes left in the 4th and down by a score, all while getting his head twisted back by the most egregious facemask hold the NFL has ever seen.



...And then next week he'll throw 4 picks because his confidence is sky high after that game winning drive and every fan on here will be saying the same shit you are. C'est la vie

He's the best we've had in a while. And our defense should be great. We need a QB that can put up some damm points. Doesn't need to be great. A solid to pretty good overall season should have us well in the playoff hunt, barring injuries. This defense should be able to overcome some turnovers. And his turnover rates the last few seasons is way better than his career averages.

What gives me hope?
Fitz is on a complete team. D, weapons, oline, good staff.

Fitz is going into the season as the clear cut starter. Nobody breathing down his neck.

Fitz has played his best ball in recent history.

It is a unique situation even for a guy who has been around a while. Maybe he just hasn’t had that perfect situation yet.



What gives me anxiety?
Like you said, he has never been great or even really good for a long stretch. However see above…..
