Yeah and some ex-players like Portis worry the fans would turn on Haskins if he struggled. This franchise is such a mess in so many ways. No plan and scared to act.
You think this fanbase wouldn't turn on Haskins if he struggled this year?
It is absolutely true, we have no plan beyond "fire Gruden if he gets off to a bad start."
What is Dan and Bruce's plan, beyond making Gruden the scapegoat for all the team failures?
Next offseason they will hire another HC, most likely from a weak group of candidates because no sane man will want to work for Dan and Bruce.

I think most reasonable fans understand a rookie QB is going to struggle especially on a bad team.

Who cares if the fans turn on him? If he's mentally weak then he's not franchise material anyway. But I highly doubt that. His make up seems to let things roll off his back and get on w/the next play. I don't see someone that's mentally weak at all.
Look at Daniel Jones? He sure has cooled off. But at least the Giants are all in. And they benched a 2 time SB winner, yet we won't bench Keenum. What a joke.

The Giants aren't lying to themselves like the Skins are. That's why they are all in with DJ.

Id like to think most reasonable fans would understand a rookie is going to struggle and its more about the process than results .... but how many fans are reasonable?
A percent of fans wanted him to start week 1, no matter what. Now a portion of fans think he is a bust because its being leaked hes not ready and its week 7.
We HAVE to play the rookie at least 5-7 games to see what we have. If they dont start him against the Bills or Jets ... it would sadly continue a long line of indefensible illogical decisions.
I think (and kinda hope) the Vikes roast us and the noise to not start Haskins is to loud to ignore.

I expect him to struggle.

Not if Bruce is still in charge, but as I was saying the other day from what I heard the FO is scared to play him because there is fear that if he looks bad the media will pressure the team to draft another QB and that would cripple their reputation even more
I don't see how it can get any worse.

The organization is at the bottom of the league and it doesn't look good anytime soon. I hope we get a good coach that has control

I am all for starting him against the Jets. I could care how many turnovers he has. I just want to see improved footwork and learning how to protect himself better. I can't see the fans turning on him after what we have seen from Case and Colt. This team is headed for 1-15 with either of those two, so what do we have to lose?

If he's not starting against NYJ coming out of the bye something is seriously not right with this situation.
