Arron Rodgers sat behind Bret Farve. Patrick Mahomes sat behind Alex Smith. Why can't Haskins sit behing Keenum and learn before being rushed to start his rookie season? I don't want Haskins rushed into the starting lineup. I want to give him time to learn the playbook and learn the NFL QB position! Anyone else agree with me? You still have him for 4 years afterwards remind everyone being the team could pick up his 5th year option.
The examples given as to why Haskins should sit are:
Jimmy Garroppolo (and I suppose, by extension, Jacoby Brissett?) sat behind Tom Brady (a future first ballot Hall of Famer)
Aaron Rodgers sat behind Brett Favre (a first ballot Hall of Famer)
and, Patrick Mahomes sat behind Alex Smith
Now obviously, there is no one on Washington's roster that is going to be a 20th ballot/Senior Committee Hall of Famer, much less one on the first ballot. So, we should ignore thos
