“They haven’t any quarterback and they’re past banged up. If John Mara fires Joe Schoen or Brian Daboll, or one or the opposite, I perceive. However you need the No. 1 decide at this level and the season has lengthy been over,” he mentioned.
“What would you like them to do? That is such a horrible spot to be in.
“This has collapsed past something to the purpose the place I believed it might collapse to. It’s only a mess.”
