Top Stories Going Into Camp

[Schneed10]

I think everyone needs to take Doug's comments with a grain of salt. I don't think he meant that he and Dan and Bruce are going to tell Jay to start Haskins if Haskins demonstrates he's not ready yet.

If the competition is close in camp then I could see them swaying with a deciding vote. But if Keenum or Colt legit win the QB race in camp, then Jay will definitely go with them, especially because the schedule is rough. The front office will not tell Jay to make a move to Haskins in such a circumstance.

I hope you're right...but will it surprise anyone here if we pretty much all think Haskins doesn't look ready in preseason, but gets the start game 1 anyway? It just does not look good to me that Doug makes that statement...I'm assuming he was asked who would have final say on the QB?

Agreed. Doug has, time and again, made a fool of himself when he speaks publicaly. I realize this is one of the primary aspects of his job description, but he always ends up saying things that are misleading or simply dumb. They really should demote him to a position that is exclusively scouting/personel and promote/hire someone into a GM role who can do a better job at dealing with the public.
