Keenum - Week 1 Starter

[OmahaRedskins]

I have no issues with it. It is the right decision.I am looking forward to the season. I think Haskins starts after week 5.

The bigger question will be who starts on the online.

It's not a schedule thing for me. Right now Case is the better and more experienced QB. There's no value in sending out the less experienced guy, unless he totally separated himself from the competition, which he clearly did not. That's no way to get the rest of the team to buy into what you're doing either. Haskins will get his chance eventually...

You guys are mad Haskins didn't get the job by default, since when has Gruden ever adjusted his scheme to run what a player knows? Gruden has never adjusted his scheme for a qb, except in the emergency situation last year.

These are my thoughts exactly. I do not want to screw with Haskins' growth and confidence and throw him to the wolves right away. Keenum is the safer bet and has done things before in this league whether people wanna recognize it or not. Haskins has work to do- footwork, accuracy, etc. His Big X days are over.
