It's no secret that Jay's offense NEEDS a true #1 who can stretch the field. Look how the offense performed with DJAX on the team. Give him that and pray the injury bug doesn't bite AGAIN and let him finish out his contract.

Hire a new GM this year and let him decide where to go with the coaching position after "taking inventory" as somebody else posted here before.
I agree with you here, however I don't see next year being any different. Where are we going to get that #1 WR to stretch the field?? And even if we do, we won't have a QB who can get it to him most likely. I am not a Gruden hater, but I think we've seen his peak here. Like most coaches, he'll never have "all the pieces"...and his inability to make adjustments is biggest failure.

I don't think we have seen Gruden's peak. We've seen him consistently go .500 with teams that are decimated with Injuries and (for the most part) receive no help from their defense.

I'll admit, I want to see some more wins (what fan doesn't) and the locker room stuff as of late is concerning. But damn, we just beat Jacksonville IN Jacksonville with our FOURTH string QB.

I just think we could do a lot worse than Jay. I wouldn't extend his current contract but i'd like to see him finish it out at least.

Re: Time to clean house 1.0.

My biggest issues with Gruden is that his teams are undisciplined and there are far too many games where they just don't show up at all. We've had several this season -- NO, Atl, NYG#2, Ind -- it's just not defensible. 4 games of flat, uninspired play. And we have way too much player drama to suit me, and that is a reflection of the coach. To be clear, it's not all on the coach -- the GM has a lot to do with it. But it isn't unrelated either. I am OK with moving on. But I agree with the sentiment that the real key is getting rid of "winning off the field" Allen. Let him go win off the field for someone else.

That is what I cant stand about Jay, the lackluster games that this team has 2-3 times a year. I don't know what it is but it seems like they just don't give a shit some weeks.
