A Kyle Allen primer

It’s Week 5 of the 2020 NFL season, and we’re already in the position of “next man up” at quarterback for the Washington Football Team. Thankfully, it’s not the result of injury. Instead, it appears to be the result of a combination of generalized poor play by the previously anointed starter, Dwayne Haskins, as well as a failure by Haskins to learn from his mistakes and commit aggressively to correcting them. Whether he sees the field again in DC is something none of us can predict at this point. What we do know is, former Carolina QB, and back-up to Haskins, Kyle Allen will be thrust into the starting role against the Rams this week.
