Re: Dwayne Haskins
 

IMO DH would have to blow training camp and preseason football out the water to start. Keenum should start let DH watch he's the QB for our future

Re: Dwayne Haskins
 

It's about winning games until eliminated from playoff contention. Whoever gives us the best chance to win should play each week until then. If Haskins is the best QB on the roster by the end of the pre season, he should start game 1.

There hasn't been a rookie QB in NFL history to play 16 games and lead his team to the Super Bowl.....hopefully Haskins can do it.

You have a better chance of becoming the Queen of England than the Skins have of going to the Super Bowl.

In the Front Office this kind decisions is what separates real football men and bussiness men. Football men make the decision that is best for long term improvement of the team. The bussiness man just wants to please the impatient fans and make money.i am not saying Haskins shouldn't start. If he is ready and is the best qb on our roster he should play. But if we have a better short term option while Haskins learns and improves, that is fine with me.

I am fine with Dwayne Haskins starting, but Please let him Grow into the Starting QB Position!

Please Don't Push Dwayne Haskins into the Staring Position before he is totally ready!

I just don't want another RG3 flame [emoji91] out...

While I was, honestly, not a fan of the Dwayne Haskins pick, he does seem to be a very talented Quarterback, but I just don't want a repeat of the RG3 saga.

Redskins Front Office..."You have two decent Quarterbacks in Case Kennum and Colt McCoy... please take it slow with Dwayne Haskins and let him grow in the Quarterback position!"

Haskins is mature beyond his age, great attitude and super smart kid.

Re: Dwayne Haskins
 

IF it is up to Jay...and that is a very big IF...he's going to play whichever QB gives him the best chance to win. He HAS to win this year or he's gone and he knows it. But it's not going to surprise anyone here if Snyder "makes" Jay start Haskins...and who knows, maybe they start 1-5 and then Haskins shows a lot of promise down the stretch and finish 8-8 with Haskins and Jay keeps his job...but I really doubt it.

I think Case will fight for the job all the way through PS, He is a vet that knows the game. Haskins shouldn't be names starter until he shows in the PS that he is game ready.

Re: Dwayne Haskins
 

Keenum isn’t bringing us anywhere near the playoffs. As long as our O line is up to snuff I want Haskins growing and learning. If Jay shows progress with the rook than I think he saves his job. If Keenum plays he is gone regardless imo. Tough spot for Jay.

Re: Dwayne Haskins
 

We have got to play or get a QB that can take us all the way. Delaying that process in order to tread water with a journeymen Qb serves no purpose. We drafted a young kid at 15. Unless he is Heath Shuler bad then play him. Dummy down the playbook and run stuff that he's comfortable with. If he's not the guy then we may be back in a position next year to get another QB. Keep drafting QB's every year no matter what, like in the old days and keep 3 on your roster.

It ain't happening this season but it could happen in year 2 or 3. The Seahawks did it with Wilson in his 2nd and 3rd year. Why can't we?

Re: Dwayne Haskins
 

Let me see who is our Starting LG, LT when the season begins before I start Haskins Game 1. If its terrible, then play Keenum the first 5 tough games to start the season, then make the switch

If Flowers is in the starting line up start McCoy game 1, once he's injured start Keenum and hope he can make it past the Bears game.

I will be so angry if Flowers is a starter week 1.

Skins should sign Tackle Donald Penn to a one year deal and use him as a primary Swing Tackle and insurance if Trent continues to act like an ass.

If they can call a power run offense with Peterson and Guice mix in the pass that will take a lot of pressure off of Haskins....and if the defense plays like it did for the first of the season last year, Haskins will be able to have a great shot at accomplishing that task.

Re: Dwayne Haskins
 

The player that will impact Haskins the most is Guice, if he can be our workhorse and let Peterson stay fresh, look out. I know it's all "If's and maybes" but there is potential on this roster to make a playoff run.

I agree, the running game will make or break our season this year. We will use same formula last year before Smith broke his leg, which is a strong running game and strong defense. As long as our Oline and RBs stay healthy, I can see Redskins sneaking into playoffs.

Yes. It's Trent + Scherff + Guice. It's that combo that gives you what amounts to an imposing running threat. Guice without those two won't do much. Guice with them seems like something that strong safeties need to key on, freeing up our shitty (until proven otherwise) passing game just enough.

That's what will make this offense work in a complimentary football approach, going hand in hand with a stout defense. It's a formula that can grind out 9-10 wins.

The Trent issue needs to be resolved, though. I'm not panicking over it, I think if the Skins stared him down he'd show up Week 1 and play under his current contract. But the guy deserves a few million more and I'd make reasonable efforts to increase his pay.

Haven't heard anymore Trent news, I think he'll be good to go. Hopefully he's back training camp.

Eagles and Boys will be solid, Giants are only as good as Barkley can carry them.

11 wins is the mark for a division crown, I'd say the Skins are most likely in the 7-9 win range again.

Re: Dwayne Haskins
 

As much as it pains me to say, the Eagles are going to be nearly untouchable. DeSean Jackson gives them a lethal element, and they stabilized their running game with Jordan Howard, an extremely underrated acquisition.

All you can hope for is a Wentz injury, because there's no Foles to bail them out. But if Wentz plays, 12 wins is a lock.

Agree, I love what Philly has done. BUT... Will he stay healthy? I actually don't hate the Eagles like I do NY and Dal. We have a lead on them so that's probably why.

Everything I have read so far says that the Redskins season will be bad, and that the best cases would be a 7-9 record.

Personally I see no reason to throw Dwayne Haskins, your future, into a season that won't be successful.

I say give Dwayne Haskins at least a year and then start him next year.

Re: Dwayne Haskins
 

I don't understand the logic of sitting him because you think the season will be bad. Putting aside that it's impossible to tell at this juncture -- a lot can and will happen between now and September -- I think you start whoever gives you the best chance to win. If we're starting Flowers at LT and the line becomes a horrible patchwork, maybe I'd be worried about my investment. But teams that draft QBs high are always bad the season before (hence, the high draft pick). Those QBs sit to learn the system and/or because they're not ready for prime time.

If Haskins checks those boxes, fine to start him from my perspective. Whenever he hits the field, I am excited to see what he can do. I like what I have heard so far.

Re: Dwayne Haskins
 

From what we've been hearing Haskins has been real up and real down. These are controlled practices. Meanwhile NY is quietly gushing over Jones. Doesn't mean shit at this point but something to keep an eye on.

Re: Dwayne Haskins
 

Hope that he can get that chance to start. Good luck!

Jay said the other day that when he's "on" he's as good as he's seen, also our defense is better than the Gmen, that helps Jones too.

Take players' performance news in off-season with grain of salt.

Re: Dwayne Haskins
 

[quote=GridIron26;1224801]Take players' performance news in off-season with grain of salt.[/quote]

No kidding, anybody can look good in helmets and shorts. Even in preseason games for that matter. On another football fan forum I used to go to guys would get all excited about rookies, often ones that were playing in the 3rd and 4th quarters of preseason games. Being elected by fans to the preseason Hall of Fame gets you nothing. The thing that stands out to me are running backs that rack up the yards and carries in preseason games. Even if they look good if they are used a lot they most certainly end up not making the roster.

Thomas Clayton who was drafted by the 49ers in 2007 led the preseason in rushing in back to back years. He never played a down in a regular season game for them. He bounced around the league for a couple more years and racked up 15 regular season carries for a total of 29 yards.
