Heinicke or Smith vs the Eagles

[countryroads316]

This shouldn't even be a discussion

If Smith can play, he will. Heinicke will back up, I suspect Haskins will never suit up in a Redskins uniform ever again.

 

[reptec101]

Smith will start but its a nice feeling we will have a QB as his back up now

 

[countryroads316]

All I know is if Rivera starts Haskins vs the Eagles he should be fired on the spot

 

[gkekoa]

AS will start, and we will win a playoff game.

 

[countryroads316]

Rivera made a huge mistake not benching him after the stripper party and then benching him too late after the game was about over

 

[skinsdad62]

DHC will start is CDC cant go

DHC has lost the team , it will be time to grab a Heine if CDC cant go

not sure it means anything if we cant score , get off to a good start , and stop fucking up

 

[rmilia1]

Nice to see most of the last few remaining "DH should be starting " crew has come to their senses. Welcome to Earth. Come on in , the reality is fine

 

[countryroads316]

If Smith is not healthy for the Eagles game it has to be Heinicke as the starter with Montez as the backup and Haskins not even on the active roster

With hindsight that's easy to say far as the first part goes. but I don't recall anyone saying anything similar to this before I read your post. Though far as the 2nd part goes. I thought RR might go to the bullpen after Haskins had one 2nd half possession and hadn't done anything. I thought they should've went for it on 4th dn instead of kicking the 2nd FG also. That said, I'm still a little stunned at how shitty Haskins played. I mean I didn't expect 70+ comp %, 350 yards n 3 TDs or anything, but with all that was riding on this game to come out and play as he did. Shit, that was depressing.

Yeah, I was expecting the D would have to be real good to win. The dropped punt was a killer. I figured the O had to put up 20 in some way. Haskin's wasn't even close. Did the previous weeks events hurt him? We will never know. I know on some passes I couldn't figure out whether he missed that badly or he threw it away on purpose.

For me, seeing a QB who has barely ever played in the NFL come in and move the team the way he did spoke volumes. I have often heard it said here that DH didn't play well because he didn't get first team reps. Well .... either did Heinicke. He found the open receivers that Haskin's couldn't and even managed to get completions or drops on long passes. The kid had thrown for 58 total passes in 5 years with 5 teams. All but one pass was with Carolina two years ago. He had 0 TDs and 3 INTs. What I did remember after reading it was that he played for that football factory ODU.

That might have been his 7 minutes of fame but I wish he had more like 30 minutes to see what he could do. And lets not forget ... he was also missing Scary Terry and had no run game because he HAD to pass.

I have no idea what the WTF do next year. Do you trade Haskin's for two rolls of tape and a Gatorade bottle with a hole in it, keep him, cut him and take the hit in the cap? I wonder the same about Smith although I guess if he is damaged goods you keep him for another year as insurance and a coach on the field at $20 million.

Some of you don't like me talking about Cousin's but this all goes back to Scot, Bruce and Dan mismanaging his contract.

our QB situation is absolutely the result of mismanagement of the cousins situation 5 years ago. Cousins has not turned into drew Brees, but he has proven to be a capable NFL Qb. Who wouldn’t want one of those right now?
so here we sit with about 6 or 7 qbs on the payroll and a shit ton of committed money for the next few years and not one of them is the answer. We have no choice for next year. We will sign Kyle Allen to a short term deal and he will be our starter. We will keep Alex as the back up and jettison Dwayne. We will draft a QB in the mid rounds to develop. We don’t have a choice. We can’t afford to sigh a top FA with all the money we already have tied up in the position.

thanks Dan and Bruce.

The qb position and cousins in particular has bren mismanaged - no doubt.

I do think the team has some options however, and starting any of the qbs currently on the team is not the only option.

One thing that helps the situation is that the WFT is in good shape, cap wise. They probably can afford a decent rental on a short term prove it deal.
Kyle Alen will be cheap, but he’s not very good. Alex Smith will be expensive, and he is at least serviceable.
Haskins is on his rookie deal, but is the worst of the three.

Clearly a free agent vet and/or draft pick are in order. I hope they do both.

Smith.....

But if he can't go, roll with Heinicke if Smith can't go.....where did he come from? The practice squad. He looked a LOT better than Haskins.....and I am fairly confident Haskins has played his last game in DC.
