Now that the QB roster has become clearer, who is your preferred starter in 2021?
Interesting that Fitzpatrick wasn't even included in our previous poll, not did anyone write him in. That was a bolt from the dark
At least this year the player performing better is going to play.
When you allow sub-average performers like Haskins get gifted a starting job it tends to erode morale over time.
That’s why the team played better overall when Allen or Smith was out there.
Yeah, not sure how I feel about that, brother ... but it's just a feeling. I said when we hired Rivera that I didn't think he'd have taken the job here in the first place if he didn't think Haskins had a chance to be a legit NFL starter. He had so many other options.
To me it's entirely possible he came in with an open mind about Haskins. He'd seen the same films the rest of us have ... and the potential there. What he didn't get was a chance to sit down with the kid and look him in the eye. Or the chance to really work with him after he got here given the severely limited offseason and zero preseason. The way it all played out almost forced his hand to at least LOOK at Haskins in action.
Just a theory, but my feeling is Ron had to go through the same process with the kid the rest of us did. See the arm, see the potential ... then have to watch the reality.
