SHOULD REDSKINS TURN TO HASKINS?

The Washington Redskins have started this season 0-2.  What’s worse is they have also started 0-2 in the NFC East.  With loses to Philadelphia and Dallas they will now spend the season playing catch up.

So what can the Redskins do to turn their season around?  Should they fired Coach Jay Gruden?  Should they trade disgruntled left tackle Trent Williams?  Or should they turn to rookie QB Dwayne Haskins?

Haskins was drafted #15 overall in this year’s draft.  Haskins went to Ohio St. and is the future of the Redskins.  The question is when is the future?  The Redskins traded for Case Keenum in March and he was named the started while Haskins sits and learns.

Some Redskins fans are calling for the rookie Haskins after the slow start, but at the end of the season we could be saying that the Redskins lost their first two games to playoff teams.  The Redskins need to stick to their plan and keep Haskins on the bench as long as possible to help develop him.

Despite the record, Keenum has started the season on fire.  He has completed 69% of his passes, 56-81 for 601 yards and 5 touchdowns and 0 interceptions.  He has a QB rating of 111.2.  Keenum was brought to Washington because he can win games in spurts and keep his teams competitive.  That is his main job as a Redskin.  If he can keep the Redskins around .500 through week 10 then the team can turn to Haskins and contend for a playoff spot.
