Haskins looks like he could become a really good NFL QB - hopefully the Redskins don't put him out there until he can play behind a decent offensive line

From "Ask Boswell" on Monday:


Q: Trent Williams
The Redskins have problems in most areas of their franchise. Were you surprised to hear that Trent Williams is unhappy with the medical staff?

A: Thomas Boswell
I was surprised. Trent never complains and plays through pain. They all do, but even ...

such a classy organization ...

"We have been talking to Trent a little bit here and there," Gruden said Tuesday. "He is not here [at practice], you are right. As far as holding out for whatever reasons, that is between Trent and Eric [Schaffer] and Bruce [Allen]. Hopefully, we'll get it all ...

A blunder. Browns choose OC Freddie Kitchens as HC, relieve Gregg Williams of all duties. Gregg W. to leave team.

I also like Gregg Williams - just goes to show how important it is to have ...

If the Cardinals thought that Josh Rosen might be good enough to be a starting QB don't you think they would do anything they could to build around him and if they think that he's not good enough to be a starting QB then they would be very fortunate to find some idiot to give high draft picks to ...

thinking that we're just a good QB away from having a playoff team this season is the kind of thinking that got us in this mess in the first place Nobody is arguing that we're "just a good QB away from a playoff team this season".

The point you're trying to make here is even worse because we ...

let's not make things worse - we don't have wiz kids in control here so we just need to keep adding as many good players as we can and hope that we eventually get some people in here that can re-build this franchise - that is just not happening by continuing to do what we've been doing and making ...

Not to mention they have a real talent for turning the right move into a an epic disaster. :D you got that right

the right move is to not make a trade ... for Josh Rosen OR trade up in the draft

so they'll probably make a trade and when it doesn't work out just point out that we would have done ...

If Rosen were in this year's draft he'd be the number 1 overall pick. He's rated as an immediate starter.
We have one healthy QB. I say we make a deal for Rosen. My 2 cents
I don't want to give up our first round pick. Otherwise, I'm totally on board with this.
I agree with both of you AND it's ...

Pass defense isn't good because they can't get to the QB who has all day. 1. ( Edge rusher ) If you get a mauler at 2. Guard we can run the ball which means running and play action with a 3. QB who can sling it like Rosen. A 4. WR Deebo Samuels or another good one to throw to move the chains ...

Just for the record, I do believe we are a good QB away from the playoffs. Last year proved it. A good, not spectacular, QB makes all the difference ...
While Alex was healthy he kept us in playoff contention.

It was eerily similar situation when Gus was our QB in 1997. We were doing great. Then ...

If the Redskins have a hope to get in the playoffs now they need to get Rosen to come in and start day one. Not sure what draft picks we give up but we need a mauler at LG and a dependable WR who can get open and a pass rusher. If we can get those positions with quality players we can make a run ...

I also don't think they've done anything to warrant "fair" treatment by the fans - they deserve to be ridiculed Maybe not. I just don't follow the team to ridicule them. I'd like to see them with a decent QB this fall. me too and I hope that we will do well this season - HOWEVER, since 1999, the ...

if these 2 idiots think they can get a good starting QB through a trade or by way of the draft they will do it

Well to be fair to these two idiots, there's really only two or three ways to get a good starting QB. Draft, trade or free agency. Not really sure what you're proposing what else they ...

if these 2 idiots think they can get a good starting QB through a trade or by way of the draft they will do it

short term or long term, they don't have a good starting QB on the roster and it's priority 1

the players and coaches would not be able to practice or play without giving their best effort on and off the field - it's what they do

look at what has happened here since 1999 - the win/loss record for this franchise is mainly due to Snyder & Allen's decisions & management

Do you honestly believe that, SJ? You of all people should know that the FO follows no rhyme or reason in the decision-making process :wink: These guys are not going to capitulate their entire season before starting it. That would be suicide for their bottom line $$$.
I think we're on the same ...

You guys must be delusional if you think drafting a WR is a good idea - In fact, it's the worst decision you could possible make.
If we're going for broke go for a QB or QB depth. Everything else is secondary.
nobody with any sense thinks that this franchise is "going for broke" or hoping for very ...

freak injuries and bad luck have nothing to do with it I'm sure you can agree that a bad front office is not helped by the starting QB going down unexpectedly with a compound fracture. Of course luck and injuries play a part. Its moronic to suggest otherwise.
no matter who is playing QB or who the ...

Alex Smith was certainly an upgrade over Cousins - that's not really saying much AND the whole Cousins fiasco was horrendous for this franchise

there's a few good decisions and very few, really good decisions that are completely wiped out by bad and really bad decisions

there's a reason this ...

DEHog wrote:Next year .... better class!

AND .. hopefully 'better' guys making decisions for the Redskins - these guys have not exactly been very good with their decision making on QBs

Skins looking trade up to #3 for Haskins...? Would you approve? No - we're not just a player or 2 away from making the playoffs or from having Jay Gruden as the HC in 2020 - we need to continue to add as many good young players as we can and hope that we get a new GM along with a new HC after this ...

in fairness, IMO the 'ranking' is a little harsh just because it's the Redskins

at least we're not at the top of this list
