I think Riviera didn’t want Haskins and looked at the schedule and saw that the next six or seven games are not that strong opponents and those games could cement Haskins as his starter. So better to make the move now than later. I know he doesn’t look at any part as a gimmie and if he believed in Haskins, this would be a good opportunity, but I could also see that he believes he’s not long-term and he wants to be able to move on.

That’s it . Nothing more to say

I wonder if the coaches took them out of the drill or if he took himself out. I understand that Alex and Kyle are going to be taking the snaps, but they have the third guy in and he’s not Haskins. Haskins is wearing pads, so he is ”there.”

Before anyone takes it the wrong way, I’m not suggesting that he is pouting, I’m just wondering why have the third quarterback there at all if it’s not going to be him?

LOVE IT!!!! TOLD YA!!! Where is Breed skinsdad and the others now? Im glad to see RR is running this team and not Danny. Great move.

I'm not sure how you can call it a great move yet, if they don't win games then it won't be a great move.

I think he's looked pretty good the last 3 weeks. Cincy, WFT and Dallas games right. What's up with Chubb? Is he out for long?

He might be back at the beginning of Nov...so that is good, just glad it wasn't so serious. 4-5 weeks is the timeline hope it isn't more than that.

So Lawrence will get you a winning record?

Not sure how anyone knows that but what we do know is Lawrence could be the best QB prospect since Andrew Luck. Some are going further and saying John Elway

Lots of hyperbole.

When i mentioned this the board filliped out. When I gave my reasoning its the exact same reason that RR gave in the espn article. Allen is ready mentality and could win now. RR has not given up on this team. Love it!!

So now you and skinsdad are team first but when i say it im wrong. i already explained why the move was made. It simple i guess.
Nah. Switch happened. Likely because of behind the scenes lack of growth at meetings and practice that we are not privy to and YOU never mentioned. I suspect if DH were doing things right there, RR woulda given him a longer hook. Earlier than I expected but I’m on the board saying I thought he’d give him til the bye week.

One point I’ll give ya and I did before, the weak NFCE definitely played a role here.

Obviously RR has seen enough. Allen is not the answer for the long term, but I’m hoping winning on the field will become the norm from now on. I was not on board with what was going on at the end of games from the beginning.

Bet RR got HEAT in the locker room for not trying to win games 2 and 3 from his young guns on D. Probably played into the decision too.

It’s a bad decision dean and I have lost a little respect. For the HC .

However it’s done so if you are a fan you try to support it .

But I know what will happen . You will sour on Allen the first bad game he has or when we are eliminated from the playoffs and we will be back to square one

The rebuild has been set back at least 2 yrs

It’s Dean. Of course he’s gonna pat his back BEFORE facts are in. SQUIRREL!

Perhaps. But not if Allen can just perform well enough to be a bridge guy. The new QBs are making a difference quicker these days. Look at Minchew, Herbert, Burrow. Think that played into things too myself

Wish you showed up as much when you were wrong. Gloating is unattractive. But I nailed it in the opening post about you...LOL

I'd say the WTF are looking for a QB next year.

I can't imagine Smith on the field and someone ripping his leg off.

What I think is funny is dean thinks he was right . I have maintained that Haskins needs to be the guy to take us to the playoffs . If you replace him you are in the market. For a new qb . Allen has to prove he is a franchise qb . I hope he does. But this team is a 4 win team

Burrow is a franchise talent but no one on this board will be satisfied with a game manager . That’s the best Allen will ever be
