Dwayne Haskins

[Schneed10]

What's irritating though is the implied notion that the dichotomy between the football people and others has anything to do with Snyder meddling. I look at it as your typical balance between short term views and long term views.

Jay Gruden doesn't have time to wait for a rookie QB, so it's natural for him to lobby for an impact pass rusher at 15.

The front office has the long view, having a QB on a rookie contract offers a window of opportunity to build up the roster and make a run in the next 5 years before you have to pay him big QB money.

The long view won. Is that Snyder meddling, or is it just the typical balance you need to have when your coach's incentives are colored by the immediate need to win to earn a contract extension?

It's not like the Haskins pick was panned as a reach. Snyder has not been a good owner but I refuse to kill him over this one.
