Also when I said “many have found success” i meant that they weren’t ruined by being thrown into the fire - found success eventually not necessarily immediately.

Bad wording on my part.

I'm not going to lose my mind over Howell not starting. But at the pace we're going, I just don't see any reason not to start him for at least half the season. Let the kid play and see what we have. I think he is going to be good. I would hate to not play him all season, then draft another QB, who might not work out, while the whole time sitting on someone that could have been a solid starter for us.

I'm not as high on the QBs in this draft as most seem to be (not necessarily here, just what I've heard in general). I like Stroud, but for whatever reason, OSU QB's just don't pan out in the NFL. So I'd be extremely nervous about picking him even though I think he's a really good QB.

Ron Rivera says he caused a distraction and has talked with Carson Wentz - "I told the guys that I should know better. Shit, I had a bad day."

Haha he's backtracking because he got lit up by the media.

the team needs to start figuring out who the QB of the future is as well get some damm good guards more good DB,s and two new cordinators and a good head coach

...and a new owner.

Howell is most likely a who-cares quarterback, but our season is done, so there's no harm in giving him a chance to show us something.

If this year is teaching me anything, it's how shockingly hard it is to go 0-16 (17).

[skinsfaninok]

Ron gets all mad now at the media acting like he's some hard ass lol dude stop cussing up there it doesn't make u look cool. You built this team and in year 3 its still garbage

[SunnySide]

I guess im in the minority or alone here .. but good for Ron.

I personally dont think the Wentz decision was Snyder's meddling. From what reported, Ron went to Snyder and made the sales pitch and Snyder was all on board.

I think Rons pissed at the timing.

He screwed up on the "quarterback" answer, admitted it, apologized, had a team meeting and I think every one in the locker room wanted to move on

and then this unsourced rumor report comes out the next day

-----------

if Ron knows that he made the Wentz decision .. he has every right to be pissed at some made up rumor report that only seems to be done to stir some more shit up.

I think Ron is getting pissed this off field stuff is leaking into the locker room stuff and he is speaking up for his players.

The players - wentz, allen, terry - everyone shouldnt have to deal with all the shit going on outside .. and then some made up rumor shit re in locker room relationships is thrown out there when we are trying to put out fires?

Good for Ron.

Rally around the family with a pocket full of shells.

Fuck everyone not in the locker room.

Job is starting to wear on him, he didnt look "good" last night. I wouldnt be surprised if he steps away after this year if this continues.

RR was hired to quell the drama that this club always finds itself in. That he’s now part of the drama, that tells you (1) it’s the franchise that causes it, not the hired hands, and (2) Ron’s days are numbered.

I’m no psychologist, but my theory is in this organization you end up having to lie for and about Dan Snyder. That’s soul-crushing and makes you spout nonsense.

We started with a nice-guy mediocre coach, and now we a have a mediocre coach going off the rails.

Agreed but I think Ron is trying to be the teflon, the protective shell for the locker room here. Outside stuff is leaking in, he said the players hear all of it, and I think he wants that locker room to be a vault or space where that outside noise cant come in.

Then he put foot and mouth leaving a leaking crack in the locker room shell and now the report is trying to pour gas on Rons "quarterback" comment

If that is true then RR is trying to do the impossible. In today's world, news is instantaneously accessible on the cellphones the players carry. Not to mention that the players practically live on twitter.

I think Rons reaction the last couple of weeks is down to his sudden realisation of what everyone on the outside have been saying for some time, its year 3 and the team sucks.

[skinsfan69]

Ron's in over his head and it is so obvious.
