Redskins QB Dwayne Haskins officially enters Day 1 starter conversation
We all knew Redskins QB Dwayne Haskins would start eventually.
It would have been irresponsible for the Washington Redskins to withhold an opportunity from Dwayne Haskins, after spending a first-round pick on him. But in recent weeks, the prospect of Haskins’ eventual first start was lensed in the context of his readiness. It was assumed that, until Haskins was ready, either Case Keenum or Colt McCoy would start in his place, to mitigate early setbacks.
In the first game of preseason, Haskins’ showing gave that assumption some momentum. But last night, rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins made his first true case to start right out of the gate. Not in Week 9. Not in Week 6. Not in Week 3.
Week 1.
