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.

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.

Re: Dustin Hopkins Sucks Post Game Thread

Rivera already said Smith is starting if healthy. Lots of good discussions here. But the answer is solely in Smith's calf.

There is healthy and there is healthy enough. Every player is hurt in some way at this point in the season. Ron's decision should and I think will lean heavily towards can he go versus should he go. That's pro football, folks.

If Alex can play, he will.

Re: Dustin Hopkins Sucks Post Game Thread

Somewhat problematic is deciding who you give 1st team snaps to this week. After week 12 or so, teams are further restricted in the number of padded practices.

I think Ron, Scott and QB coach need to make a big decision here tomorrow. You cant give Dwayne first team snaps, then try and have Alex do a walk though on Friday and then make a decision.

I think all the eggs need to go into one basket.

Tough decision, perhaps Alex calf will give us a definitive answer and Ron and co. wont have to make one.

Heard Haskins on the broadcast shout to Cam Sims "Hey, get him, 33" to try and help sell the run fake. Sims initially got his hands on Adams, then peeled off. Before Adams could adjust, McKissic ran by him into the flat and Haskins found him for the TD. Washington back in it

^^ good job by Dwayne to do the little things.

Washington going to one of Haskins most used concepts since he's entered the league. Double slants to one side, slant-flat to the other. Hits the slant to Cam Sims for the conversion.

^^ nice read and throw by Dwayne

Lots more film breakdown by Bullock on his twitter

Re: Dustin Hopkins Sucks Post Game Thread

If McKissic's late game injury turns out to be something, Lamar Miller will be active this week.

Hopefully it'll be the Gibson and Barber show.

Re: Dustin Hopkins Sucks Post Game Thread

This thread should've been named The Dwayne Haskins Sucks Post Game Thread.

My mans goes out and plays terrible on Sunday, finally gets mad after going down by 3 scores, mounts a little comeback and comes up just short, and celebrates by trying catch Hep C (in case the COVID doesn't get him) with his girl and some strippers after the game. He's done here after the season.

If Wright doesn't get out of position and tip that ball, we likely have it 1st and goal on a 9 play 60+ yard drive in the 2nd quarter with a chance to go up 7-6.

In fact, Wright's defender fell down and Wright had the whole middle of the field to range in, and he heads right towards the spot another receiver was designed to be.

Re: Dustin Hopkins Sucks Post Game Thread

Logan Thomas working back to Haskins is completely wide open.

Yet Haskins throws a jump ball which may have been intercepted anyway as the back defender was coming over Sims to make the play.

But the intial read should have been JD there
