The Haskins Threat

The fact Callahan won't commit publically to Haskins is frustrating beyond belief.

I agree with you 100%. Haskins should have been playing weeks ago. I think a lot of this slow playing of Haskins is a reaction by the organization to the perceived "rushing" of RG3 to starting QB and subsequent injuries. They want to appear like they learned their lesson from RG3 and wont make the same mistake of rushing Haskins when he may not be ready.

Actually I think Shanahans did right by RG3 - Mike and Kyle tailored the offense to RG3's strengths. The big issue was Snyder fell in love with RG3 and then allowed RG3 to develop a big ego, big enough to believe that he can override Mike's decisions.. Meanwhile, Haskins have coaches who think Haskins still have long ways to go and will not tailor the offense to Haskins's strengths.

Agree. Had RG3 and Snyder let Shanny continue to do what he was doing with RG3 I think he'd have become the super star he looked like he could be.

IMO the coaches are being told how to handle Haskins. More meddling from above but this time instead of moving quickly they are moving too slowly.
