Dwayne Haskins

[skinsfan69]

My thing with Keenum is he's had multiple chances on multiple teams to be a long term starter. In each of those instances the team decided he wasn't good enough to stay on as their starter. Why should he be given another opportunity here? When he was signed it should have been told to him that you're here to backup our rookie qb and spot start if needed.

I don't see Trent giving up $11M to sit out.

The only time keeping a rookie qb on the bench is when you know he is going to get demolished by the first few defenses, and that breaks a fragile ego.

I'm not saying Haskins has a fragile ego, but our first 5 games this year are brutal, for that reason alone I would consider sitting him till the mini bye after the Vikings game. Besides I'd like to see Keenum beat the Vikings

No need to start our rookie qb against all 3 division opponents in his first 4 games, and possibly let them get into his head. Play the Bills, Jets, Lions and Panthers first before meeting the division.

This one to me is easy. Have an open competition and let the best player start week 1. You owe the locker room that much. Put the best team on the field each week regardless of draft position or contract. That can go a long way to stabilizing the team (not the franchise).

We will know by end of pre season for sure .. I still say Case is going to be better than a lot of folks think.. Nobody wanted AP and we took a chance and he was very good for us last year! Case could be starter for a while and when Haskins takes over we have solid vet backup!

Haskins will either sink or swim. A guy either has it or he doesn't, and most of the time it's obvious fairly early on. The late bloomer types are the exception to the rule. I say play him from day 1.

Same here, on tape he's the real deal. Super smart kid and accurate on all throws. Mahomes sat for 2 reasons :

Smith was still good
He wasn't as polished of a QB as Haskins is.

I think that would be stupid. He should be put out there when he's ready. I can name more than a handful of qbs that didn't start right away who went on to have a lot of success. The best course of action is to be patient with this guy. Give him some time to get comfortable with the speed of the game and the playbook. If that happens to be day one then lets put him out there. If not then lets wait until he's ready.

IMO DH would have to blow training camp and preseason football out the water to start. Keenum should start let DH watch he's the QB for our future

It's about winning games until eliminated from playoff contention. Whoever gives us the best chance to win should play each week until then. If Haskins is the best QB on the roster by the end of the pre season, he should start game 1.

There hasn't been a rookie QB in NFL history to play 16 games and lead his team to the Super Bowl.....hopefully Haskins can do it.

You have a better chance of becoming the Queen of England than the Skins have of going to the Super Bowl.

It ain't happening this season but it could happen in year 2 or 3. The Seahawks did it with Wilson in his 2nd and 3rd year. Why can't we?

If they can call a power run offense with Peterson and Guice mix in the pass that will take a lot of pressure off of Haskins....and if the defense plays like it did for the first of the season last year, Haskins will be able to have a great shot at accomplishing that task.

To do it with Paul Richardson and Josh Doctson as your starting wideouts would be the stuff of legends too.
