Re: The Haskins Threat

^ Yeah that was then, this is now. And the fact he can't get on the field with Case playing so poorly is really strange.

You hit the nail on the head. Case is playing terrible yet Haskins cant get on the field. Something must be seriously wrong with Haskins. In the old days you let players watch and learn. In the modern NFL players learn by doing and at some point Haskins has to sink or swim.

I don't think it means there is anything "wrong" with Haskins. He's a mid-round developmental QB that needs at least a year or two to develop. Our owner reached in a major way to grab with the 15th overall pick. The problem isn't necessarily Haskins - its that he was drafted well before he should have been, thereby setting unrealistic fan expectations.

So then a New Coach will be forced to develop a QB they don't want or isn't a scheme fit and the fuckin circle continues.

Since Snyder decided Haskins had to be taken with the 15th pick its obvious that the new coach will be forced to develop him whether he want to or not. The new coach hasn't even started working for the Skins and he's already handcuffed.

A big part of me agrees, except potential candidates will know that going in and they'll have the opportunity to discuss their autonomy over such decisions.

If Dan is really set on Tomlin, and just for the sake of argument let's say he goes down that road, Tomlin would undoubtedly say I want full control over all football ops including QB and I want it in writing. Dan then decides if he wants to commit that to paper.

Of course I come back to you being right because Shanahan had some language like this and Dan still found a way to inject himself.

And that's why ultimately we're always be fucked with Snyder. He always finds a way to fuck things up.
