If you want to talk culture change - did you hear one peep, rumor, innuendo, or shaming statement toward Haskins from "sources" over this past season. The closest we come is a note from Schrager (who??) that says RR wanted to cut Haskins. Hell who didn't want to cut him. Even in Schrager's story he says that they talked about reasons and Rivera chose to keep him. So, even from this attempt at stirring drama, they reinforce that the fact that Rivera a) is in charge b) listens to differing opinions and can reflect versus dictate.

This is the next new era in the history of this team and maybe it leads back to respectability then excellence. GO TEAM

Agree with your overall point. But the leaks about Haskins' work ethic right after his benching were a bad reminiscence of the past, and probably hurt his potential trade value after a quite good Ravens game IIRC.

Every 4-5 years we start talking about culture change and Snyder finally stepping away.
IT'S NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN!
Never has and never will!
Snyder enjoys being involved more than winning.

This will be Snyder on draft day making our first and second round picks.

My 2 thoughts for why Fitzpatrick would not be a good fit is that he isnt a quick read/throw guy and he takes chances. With our D, we dont need to press press press on offense as its not a race to the first one to 30 points wins. We can win comfortably and consistently 24-13 vs 37-27. We value possessions, play strong D and we win.

Then I looked up his stats. Fitzpatrick is second in the league in time from snap to throw at 2.2 seconds, behind Big Bens 2.1.

I was a "no to fitz" person 5 mins ago and am now putting his name in the hat with the 15 other options we have.

Interesting plan C if we dont draft a 1st rounder or get a Stafford type guy.

so the same reason stafford wouldn't be a good fit?! . . . at least fitzpatrick would be cheaper in $$$ and wouldn't cost a pick like stafford would (multiple)

Some names are floating around-Trabinski[maybe?]Darnold[maybe?]we need a young vet[five year or less]for the long haul...the kid from Philly[can he stay healthy?]word on the street says that Carolina might want Haskins[good luck with that]but that's their problem.

Maybe Haskins should wait it out to see if Urban Meyer actually joins the NFL this offseason, which looks like a real possibility. Lions, Falcons, & Jaguars are reportedly interested in Meyer or at least are said to be potential landing spots along with several other teams. That might be Haskins' best bet to redeem himself. If Meyer won't take him, then that will tell you all you need to know.

I would absolutely give a 19-32 first round pick for Stafford.. he is 32 and could play at high level for 4-5 years or longer .. as far as a package I’m not sure i would give next years number one also ... this team is a Qb and Three players away from being legit.. another botched First round Can’t miss QB will sit us back years ... as far as injury goes with Stafford look what happened to Burrow..at least make a attempt .. what do is we offer for Cooper last year ?? I know no picks were involved but his price was steep ..I hope we at least get in the mix on trying to get Matt!

I hope Stafford / Ryan / Rivers aren't even on their radar.

If you're a good scouting/coaching staff everyone with any talent or potential is on your radar, until they are ruled out.

Yeah, but if you're a good scouting/coaching staff, hopefully you also have a plan that involves getting younger and building something sustainable for a long time, rather than giving away pieces and picks and tying up 50+ million in the QB room next year.
