You learn by doing. A previous poster talked about the case of Jason Campbell. He sat on the bench for 1.5 seasons before they played him in his first game. He still ended up being an average QB who only lasted for a few years with us. Sitting him for so long did nothing except delay the team from finding out he wasn't the franchise QB.

People keep bringing up RG3 as the reason for sitting Haskins down. RG3 was a running QB who couldn't read a defense, nor ever get through his progressions. Once he was hurt he couldn't become a pocket QB because of those two reasons.

The Eagles, who probably will win the NFC East this year, played Wentz from game 1 in his rookie season. They took their "rookie" lumps that first year and he was ready to move up the next season and did so.

Let Haskins start from Game 1. I'd rather watch Haskins learn as a rookie, make some mistakes and win 6 games than see why Case Keenum is a journeyman QB in the NFL and win 7-8 games. Give Haskins the experience he needs right from the get-go. He'll be a better QB in the long-run for building that experience level.
