Have to disagree, having a guy that understands the system helps him execute the system until the other guy catches up. It doesn't make him a better play if he indeed isn't a better player.
He also had a bad team. He knows the offense better than Haskins right now. Since there wasn't a preseason you could of made the argument that Allen could of started this year. RR gave haskins the chance b/c of his draft status and so far he has failed. Its not that crazy for making the switch right now.
Was it a bad team? They were 5-3 at one point and Allen led four straight wins. Carolina was fifth in rushing YPA. They were eighth in interceptions on defense. Is it possible that Allen was a cause for the team being poor? Allen had the fourth most interceptions in the league and second most fumbles lost.
For the record, I don’t believe Allen is horrible, nor do I believe he was the reason Carolina was so bad; however, he was a big part of it.
You could easily make the argument Allen was the better player on day one because of his familiarity with the system. It wasn’t draft status that allowed DH to start...it is potential. Allen is limited in potential...we need to find out what we have in DH for future draft needs.
I agree. Im routing for DH. Ravens and Rams coming up. Do i expect us to win those games? No, but I expect DH to play better. It just sucks b/c with an average QB we would be at least 2-1 right now. You remember when Cam Newton was a FA and no one wanted him. lol. We already make the trade for Allen at that time. Imagine if Cam was on this team. We would be talking about division champs.
Yep. I have said this team had to earn my fandom . The redskins are the team I rooted for , not whatever DC team name there is . I don’t live In the DMV anymore and haven’t for 34 years or a decade more then I ever lived in the DMV . So root root root for the home team doesn’t apply to me . Right now I am willing to see what name we get and what this franchise is building
BS it wouldn’t have had an effect on it . OTAs and preseason give you the chance to work the bugs out and get timing set before playing meaningful games . Right now we are pretty much at preseason game 3 .

i beg to differ , one game doesnt eliminate him . . before last week he had turned the ball over once on a sack . every qb in the history of the NFL has bad games even the great ones . i wont judge him on that alone . haskins could be a bust no doubt . i just dont see how anyone can determine that after 3 HC 's in one year , no off season , no preseason he has no chance at improvingFair enough.
If we are at preseason game 3 Haskins will certainly not be ready to start the opening game of the regular season.

Exactly...you have to evaluate DH on his play.
Now you want to interject Cam. The Patriots are 2-1 because of their defense.
Miami scored 11 points and had three turnovers. Cam threw for 155 yards.
Raiders scored 20, NE had defensive TD, and recovered three fumbles. Cam threw for 162 and NE ran for nearly 300 yards.
You claim we would be far different if our QB was playing better; however, we lost by two TDS in each of our losses. Average QB play doesn’t necessarily account for that.
100%. TrueYour opinion matters as much as anyone who posts on this board but no more or no less.
How do you come to that conclusion ? Haskins didn’t turn the ball over in the first 2 games . Allen on the other hand instead of getting better went on an 8 game losing streak .We lost b/c of our QB's turnovers. yes any other QB for our team would have been 3-0 or 2-1. I know DH is young but he should be far better than what we are seeing on the field.

The issue here is you overate this team . It’s a 3-4 wins team because we. Lack talent at TE , Wr , o/line and safety . Depth is also an issue . We are also a young team with little on the field experience. .
How can anyone as a rookie / 2nd yr guy be farther along when he has had 3 HC’s , 2 OC’s in a calender yr ? Your expectations are out of whack . Stability is the key in qb development and he has had 3 qb coaches in less then a year
. These aren’t excuses these are facts and they need to be considered and not blown off because we are too impatient to let guys develop
let the guy try and develop and by the end of the year we will know if he is a bust or a guy who can lead this team and make choices based on a decent sample size

He did turn it over against Ari. This team is better that you think ut we wont win if Haskins keep playing like this.
Yeah the sack fumble that wasn’t on him . We won’t win with 8 loss in row Allen either . We are destined for 1-5He did turn it over against Ari. This team is better that you think ut we wont win if Haskins keep playing like this.

We haven’t swept the giants in a long time , beating Dallas seems like another long shot . As I have said the teams we can beat can also beat us . I told you the browns could beat us and they did . I said the cards could beat us and they did . You bought the hype as a few did here . We should be 0-3,Why isn't 5-5 possible going into Thanksgiving? I cant believe you gave up on this team already. The reason why I'm so upset at DH b/c this was a win and he blew this game.

the only qb who gets us to 5-5 will be Haskins not 0 for 8 Allen
