I think they ultimately believe Haskins will be fine, but remember, there was never any intent for him to start this year. No sense in deviating from that plan until he gives the team a better chance to win. Maybe that time comes sometime this year...maybe not.

Case doesn’t give us a chance to win. He gives us a chance to lose by less. That is why we are 1-7. I understand that winning is a good thing, but there comes a point that you need to play for the future of the franchise and not the current weeks absolutely meaningless game. We do not even have a HC, he got fired. Most of this staff will most likely be gone next year too. So not to seem heartless but who gives a fuck what Manusky thinks. I also do not think leaving Haskins on the sidelines to learn a scheme that will in all likelihood be extinct come the end of the season is helpful. What is helpful is giving him game experience which he so lacks. Sometimes you have to see the forest through the trees. The forest being the future, and the trees being the remaining games of 2019.
Best case scenario leaving Keenum in is we finish with 2 or 3 wins, and have no idea what Haskins has and go through another year without a quarterback. Best case scenario putting Haskins in is we find out what he is and address it before next year.
