Trent is fine, believe it or not he's still only 30 yrs old

I take it back. I didn't realize Trent is only 30, for some reason I thought he is mid 30's by now

I am frankly not concerned with Haskins as our starter from a passing game standpoint. He will learn the best on the field and in practice getting all the reps.
Putting him on a shelf is crazy if he can play...that ironically could stunt him too as he wont get any reps, or attention if he isn't the starter once the bullets start flying.

I am more concerned with him playing under center. Any new QB must also learn the playbook and establish rapport with playmakers too.
It is a real stretch for him to learn all this, and audibles, checkdowns, protections, etc.
But from my very limited knowledge, he has a bunch of shotgun experience, but not so much snapping the ball.

Am I wrong?

He has more Shotgun for sure but he has no issues under center on film anyway. His quick release makes him a tough QB to defend. That is something coaches hate to face, a QB that can release it quickly.
