He doesn’t make mistakes in crucial situations. With our D we only need that. Like I said neither guy is a long term answer but im all in on this season right now because we are on the doorstep of a home playoff game,.....

Truly. I think we must have next to no turnovers to win in our current stage of development on offense. That means going with Alex Smith because he is one of the best QB's there is at minimizing turnovers. We have a shot at winning our division so Smith must play, even if he is dragging one leg behind him.

This is not the time to prioritize getting another look at Dwayne Haskins. Haskins should only play if Smith can't go.

You play Alex if you're concerned with winning in the moment and hoping to go deep in the playoffs.

You give Alex another week of rest if you are more concerned with the future and want to see if Haskins can build on this appearance.

The decision is Ron's.

You need to reassess your position. When a team has a clear opportunity to go to the playoffs, they must go for it. You play to win. Otherwise, you are demeaning the integrity of the entire NFL.

Ron has only one ethical choice - to go for it. If he doesn't go for it, he'll risk alienating his players, his boss, the NFL, and most of the WFT fan base.

Absolutely! If we want to make the playoffs, we NEED to win against the Panthers.

Start Alex, prepare Dwayne to be ready if needed.

Baltimore will beat NY, that's as certain as anything in the NFL can be. If that happens we NEED only win one of these next 2 games. It's also likely that Dallas beats NY - they seem to have their number.

If Alex is 85% start him, but don't risk his health, or the team's playoff by starting him if he isn't ready.

I think you could reflect a little on the fact that AS' comeback has been huge, but if Ron tells the team that he is giving AS' calf one more week rest I doubt he risks alienating anyone. Also pretty sure he has built up a lot of respect for making team oriented, player oriented decisions that have us on the verge of clinching the NFC East. I can't imagine one player is going to lose faith in Ron if he starts DH this weekend.

Agreed. This season is a much bigger issue than keeping Smith healthy for next year or something. This is his swan song moment.

I agree that Smith should get the nod against Carolina if he is 100%, but the notion that Haskins turns the ball over more than Smith is fake news.

the defense dominates against sub par teams. not so much yesterday. got gashed on the run and had no sacks. still they kept us in the game, but this isn't a great defense.
