It did Mayfield not one bit of good sitting behind Taylor. The Cards are starting Murray. Josh Allen, Wentz and Darnold all played early as rookies. Why should Haskins be any different?

Because the last first round qb to sit for a year became MVP his second year?

If Haskins starts early it's because Gruden is trying to save his ass, not because Haskins is ready.

Just to play devil's advocate it helped Mahomes that he had the most explosive offense in football

I don't expect it to have the same effect on Haskins, but acting like sitting the kid is doing no favors is unrealistic imo.

He needs to learn NFL terminology and see firsthand what an pro work ethic looks like. He also needs game experience. Delaying the latter is not going to hurt the former.

Mahomes is a baller. Had he started his 1st year KC may have made it to the SB.

100%.

The fact some people think he magically became a baller because he sat for a year is absurd.

You're understanding Alex Smith's mentorship game, aren't you ? *sarcasm*

Good and bad for Haskins. He is an NFL rookie and played with back ups. He also played against scrubs. Two Interceptions and no touchdowns, not great but not the end of the world. The two picks were typical rookie QB mistakes although his first ever NFL pick was a pick 6.
Haskins is a work in progress. No question. That is not bad, he is young and inexperienced.
But at some point this preseason if Haskins does not clearly demonstrate on the field and stat sheet that he has earned/won the the starting QB job over Keenum, it will be interesting to see what the FO and coaches do. Will we start Keenum because he is better prepared at this point and gives us the better chance to win? Or will Haskins be given the position regardless of the play on the field, because Haskins was drafted high, he is the future and he will sell tickets?

Under this scenario, I think they'd start Keenum. Redskins nation is excited about Haskins, but am I the only one who feels there was more hype for RGIII? Haskins is going to be very good, no doubt, he just needs more experience. I do like Gruden with qbs and offense. I wanna see Keenum get a fair shake.

Maybe this fan base learned a lesson about over hyping a rookie QB ? Chat échaudé craint l'eau chaude, a cat that got burnt is scared of hot water.

Plus there's this sense that Haskins is not ready right now, that the coaches know and say it, that we didn't get for RG3.

RGIII had a bigger college career than Haskins and a lot more experience. He was also a track star and very exciting. Sprinkle in the fact that he really wanted to be in DC, that's why the hype is real. Agree Haskins isn't ready now, but will be soon.

What has Keenum done to earn the job? Neither he nor Colt from what we have heard are really doing much in practice.

What has Colt or Haskins done to earn the job? McCoy can't stay healthy and has been a perennial backup his entire pro career. Keenum has far more experience and success and yes did take his team to the NFL title game in 2017. We know Haskins isn't ready and doesn't even have a lot of college starts despite all the talent. Keenum deserves a fair shake.

Well you give me the best 3rd down defense of all time and the best WR duo, along with a miracle play in the divisional round game and I could get there too. Keenum has been a perennial backup also. Don't forget if Sam Bradford doesnt hurt his shoulder week 1 vs the Saints, Keenum doesnt play that season

Haskins has draft pick status, he's young and has elite talent. Therefore he should be named the starter. Gruden should just stop screwing around with this 3 person competition and give the guy who's the future the reps.

There is no need to rush Haskins, no need to ruin his confidence. Mark Rypien benefited from sitting on the bench. I would give Keenum a chance and if he doesn’t capitalize on it then put in Haskins. This is probably what will happen.
