Jay Gruden you are our only hope

Wow, people still think Jay Gruden is a good coach. When Snyder and co are doing the evaluation of the coaches how can you expect the coaches to be any good? How do you reconcile Allen saying "we don't have gaping holes" with reality? How can you give your hard earned dollars to watch this filth?


Bruce Arians....amazing. Jay Gruden...shit on a stick.

Notice how you said good QB's and not developing QB's. No one is arguing that Tom Brady cant make his OL better. We are saying Tom Brady would be no where near as good today if he was under constant pressure and had to rely on faking out a DE and running himself in his first couple of years.

Aaron Rodgers... You really should listen to people in the know about how terrible his footwork and technique were early on. He was a Tedford disciple. The hold the football above your ear when dropping back technique. Some people associated with GB at the time said Rodgers would have busted as bad as Ryan Leaf if he had to play as a rookie. Even Rodgers first year as a starter was not impressive, and he was 4 or 5 years into the league at that point.

Rodgers can make a bad OL look good... now... after his development. That says nothing about developing a QB though. If they arent developed properly, they arent making a bad OL look good, except maybe RG3 as a rookie with an offense designed with no thought of actually developing him.

Development matters... I still cant understand how most think its completely unimportant.

Agreed, development is important. Even the pro ready Andrew Luck is still developing, a lot. There was just a write up last week about how the Colts are expecting much improvement from Luck.

RG came to a bad team with horrible management. Bad situation. It's got to start at the top though, from ownership on down. One player can never fix a whole franchise.

RGIII just proved to me that he doesn't give a care in the world about this team!
STUDY film!!!! 2 weeks to prepare for one of the worst secondaries in the league (next to ours) and you can't get DJax the ball!?!?!? No true leader goes to battle unprepared.
Step up or step down!!!!!!!!!!

Just seems like during the short stretch when Colt played that the OL was less of an issue. Not saying that Colt is the answer or that I want him in - let's not turn this into that, but I'm just not 100% convinced that this OL can't be worked with/around.

Not sure I agree totally with Gruden's brutal honesty approach. Some things should be resolved behind closed doors. It's just fueling the fire and adding more doubt to the coach/QB relationship which is a critical one. We've got more problems than just RG3... and those fall on Gruden yet RG3 is taking most of the heat.

I have always wondered what people are thinking when they say that we are such a terrible team that no coach could succeed with this cast. Only to then turn around and claim the coach to be the problem while acting like our team is loaded with talent. Comparing our talent to Az is laughable, especially that defense. Would a single player on our defense even be able to start for them?

Its like cutting a tomato in half and wondering why you dont get half an apple and half a watermelon.

Yes

Yes

Who?

Hasslett will be gone by the end of the year...
The fact that we could not rattle McCown is all the evidence you need to prove that his system is terrible!!

I can't believe the overall tone of this thread is supportive of Jay Gruden. He's been terrible.

Griffin has not lived up to his reputation and I'm starting to wonder if he ever will.

But I have not seen Jay Gruden do anything offensively to give us a strategic advantage other than launch it deep to DeSean Jackson. His version of the zone blocking scheme has resulted in sub-par running from Alfred Morris despite running behind mostly the same line as the Shanahans had. If anything this line should be better.

Pierre Garcon has turned from one of the most reliable receivers in the league into a complete afterthought.

Gruden's team was completely unprepared yesterday. And as for the matter of Griffin, his poor development falls at the feet of the head coach, like it or not. He was brought in to get Robert going in the right direction. He's going in the wrong direction.

I wouldn't make any rash moves. I'd keep Jay and Robert together through Robert's rookie contract. But if they don't both get it in gear then I'd completely clean house.

I'm completely unimpressed by Jay Gruden.

Agreed, kinda odd how little heat he's getting. He hasn't done anything to have our support or faith.
