Listening to John Keim and Jay Gruden, Jay said he didn’t want him cause he didn’t fit but of course our organization then was the worst!!!
Honestly the longer Jay is out, and the more we hear (even though we knew shit was going on), the more I like him. Don’t think he is ever a top 10 sorta coach, but probably loads better than he is given credit for.
Very mature response
Sounds like he has matured … I wonder if I’m still blocked by him on Instagram
Thank god Dan is gone, god damn look what he put these kids through
That’s A very mature response. I don’t think there was anything wrong with what Jay said (other than maybe that he said it). But he left himself open for an ugly, angry, yet justified response from a former player.
But Sua’s response was very professional and mature. Addressed what he wanted to address and was incredibly fair.
Dan Snyder was the black mold of owners. Everything he touched was infested with rot and slowly had the life and energy sucked out of it.
McCloughan/Allen/Barry masterclass (Jays not fully innocent either)
Sua is a great dude. Wish him the best.
Feel bad for him. There have been thousands of players like him over the years who have been failed by their organizations.
Hitting “avoid getting drafted by Washington” and #HTTR in the same train of thought is something
When you don’t have a competent front office vision — or an actual front office, you get results like this.
I liked Sua when he got drafted. I wish it had gone better but it’s hard to know to who blame. He wasn’t perfect but neither was the org. Could’ve been really good at safety.
Class act
It was nice to see Sua not attack Jay for what he said. Jay was respectful of Sua. He didn’t say he was a bad player or anything.
So many players fail, not because of their abilities, but by being drafted by a team and forced into a system that does not allow the player to perform to his best.
At first when I was first reading about the sua cravens incidents with the Washington post and such when he first got drafted and his rookie year the stories written felt extremely bizarre like a lot of context was missing and kind of felt like to smear his character a bit type characterization without being outright obvious about it. Like he quit the team due to immaturity issues because he was homesick or whatever it was. Just felt odd.
Reading this rn just makes me feel extremely sad about it all and hope it can vindicate him finally on why his career didn’t pan out rather than lack of effort, immaturity, or willing to be a good teammate.
It all makes sense now I don’t have definitive proof but feels more like a smear campaign that started from the higher ups to absolve themselves of any blame or responsibility with the way they are handling a situation where they drafted a player that didn’t fit the scheme and then outright being negligent with the health care aspect.
To this day I still want a 30 for 30 with what really went down between rg3 and the coaching staff between Mike shanahan and also gruden. Just feels like even though it was discussed multiple times there’s still too much unknown and speculation that’s holding up too much intrigue and mystery for me still. The answers that were provided borderlines political correctness and wanting to distance from controversy rather than straight out facts and moments like this just takes me back to the speculating and wondering what really happened
Sua has my respect big time after that post.
Well said Sua. Unfortunately we had been a highly dysfunctional organization for more than 20 years under that POS Snyder.
Classy. All the best to him. Fuck Dan Snyder.
But I love that he’s still repping HTTR! Poor guy…
This was a surprisingly calm and level headed take from him, he came off as an entitled asshole not long after he was here. I have no doubt he was put in a bad situation by this org
Took accountability for his own faults while still shitting on the old regime as he should.
Super rare and refreshing in this day and age
Respect to coach and player for being open. Fuck Dan Snyder Regime (and Andy Harris for good measure)
I’m glad fans have some humanity for him now, cause at the time, the fans here HATED him:
Sounds like medical negligence to me. I think he should sue Snyder for about 6 billion dollars
I just feel bad for how the Washington media portrayed him. I remember reading an article when he first left about how he thought people were following him around, being angry, and depressed. It’s clear to anyone with a little bit of sense and compassion that he was clearly mentally unwell (I hit hard enough to mess with your vision probably doesn’t help your headspace).
When the rondale piece by a couple weeks back every understood that not being able to play the game anymore probably destroyed Rondales mental. Sua had the same feelings about doubting himself if he’ll ever be good enough because the organization fucked him over and at the time mental illness was not looked on like it was today. Sua didn’t compassion, he got painted as a quitter and faced a lot of backlash.
I guess all you can do is be happy that the NFL and fans take mental health more seriously.
Back in those days there was so much dysfunction with players who were drafted who didn’t fit needs or played in the wrong scheme.
Anytime someone here wants to bitch about AP not hitting on picks…direct them to the days before his arrival.
