Pats Pregame Thread

Reports are out there (ESPN , Twitter ) That Jay didn't want Haskins and Jay will be Fired after Sunday.

We'll see

These motherfuckers can never be on the same page. It's like the front office and coaching staffs are 2 separate franchises.

That's the Danny Loser culture for you.

I'd rather have Haskins than Jay though. So for the love of all things good ONLY hire a HC if he absolutely wants Haskins to be his franchise QB. PLEASE you assholes.

It doesn't work like that. You don't hire a coach just to work w/ the owners pick. This is why we're such a loser franchise. Most coaches are going to want their own guy, not the owners.

Jay starting Colt is a big Fuck You to Dan. He wants to get fired cause he has some serious paychecks coming this year and next. I think Jay truly wants what's best for the guys in the locker room. He's not interested in grooming a raw rookie that was the owners pick.

And yet, rookies, back ups, and second year guys are starting and winning all over the league. No such thing as developing a rookie anymore. This ain't 1977.

Zero chance we keep things close let alone win outright.

[jamf]

theteam980 is reporting that Colt McGruden is the starter.
JESUS CHRIST

[jamf]

Good Guy Gruden at todays news conference:

[calia]

wow -- just, wow

[CRedskinsRule]

Can Gruden be fired before the Pats game for this decision????

Keim had an article about how the Skins screwed up the offseason from the start by not firing him in January. He is dead on.

They absolutely should have fired him vs carrying him into this lame duck season where Snyder/Allen picked a QB at 15 overall. Should have fired him and let the new HC pick his QB. Now we have a tired beaten lame duck coach catching flax from everyone because he is not playing a raw rookie who is not ready because the coach respects the other 52 players to put together the best team that win that week vs sacrificing games so a raw rookie QB can "get his reps".

Everything is so ass backwards with this organization. It should be:
pick GM then GM picks HC then GM and HC pick QB. Give GM, HC and QB 4 years to figure it out.

Instead owner picks QB then has to find a HC who will agree to commit to a QB he didnt choose. Oh and .. the owner sucks at identifying and picking winning QBs so there is that.

Why are we blaming Gruden for any of this shit show? Because he is taking a lot of crap for protecting the young man from a slaughter and trying to remain committed to the work and sacrifice the other 52 players have put into this year.

It blows my mind how the majority of fans are putting this pile of heaping shit at Jays front door. Jay is helping and protecting this young man. He is not ready. He is not where close to being game ready.

[Schneed10]

Yep. Bruce and Dan just don't do any thinking about organizational dynamics. At all.

[SunnySide]

Keenum was in a walking boot up until the other day and Haskins is way too green. I dont get the infatuation with starting Haskins. Hes not ready, he started 14 games total in college and all indications are he is a project.

Doesnt Jay have an obligation to the other 52 players to start the QB that gives the team the best chance to win?

If Jay thinks that is Colt for week 5, he starts Colt. If in week 11, he thinks Haskins, then he starts Haskins.

Im going on record as predicting all 3 of our QBs will get hurt and miss games this year and soon enough Haskins will have to start bc there is no one else.

[Chief X_Phackter]

I'm assuming this is Colt McCoy's job until at least the bye week now that he's healthy. I can see them turning it over to Haskins then, unless this team still magically has a chance to get into the post season. Nothing earth shattering here.
