This is the crossroads many fans, myself included, are faced with. Do you want the team to fail so Allen gets fired, or do you hope there is a young core of guys to build around for the future (meaning Bruce Allen ain't going anywhere)?

This was the typical Alex Smith game from 2018 where the fans would say how much of a "winner" he is. The fact that Haskins had a Smith-like game yesterday (in his 4th start) should be further evidence that this team needs to end this illusion that Smith should return when healthy.

This game did nothing to change my opinion either way on him. I still think Buffalo was his best game.

And anyone with objective eyes can see that he was overdrafted.

I guess my point, in a roundabout way, is that it's often overlooked that the Redskins actually did draft and develop a franchise QB...and then let him walk out the door for nothing. So they can luck their way into it.

This is a good point. However, at some point wouldn't they have to get lucky and hit on one? And then let that guy walk in free agency for a compensatory 3rd round pick?

I think if we had a weak quarterback draft class coming out next year, the fanbase would be willing to be more patient with Haskins. IMO, next year's draft is the biggest reason why people aren't willing to be patient and go through the growing pains with Haskins.

Which...is even more odd considering that most of the beat guys have gone out of their way to say how he was a good, coachable kid.

I can't believe there are people like this that exist. Was he in a coma for 2013-2016?

It was one guy on the Junkies. I'm not talking about shock jock radio hosts, I'm talking about the actual beat reporters who cover the team. No one has trashed his character. And I have zero issue with the selfie. I just figured it was a rookie's first win and he was caught up in the moment. I knew people would blow it out of proportion. But it was the post game presser, IMO, that made it way worse than it needed to be. He was a douchebag with a capital "D" for absolutely no reason.

We've seen this movie before. Entitled guy who hasn't won anything emboldened by the owner...wake me up when it's over.

I honestly have no idea because he's been talked about as being a good kid who was coachable and was nothing like RG3. The local media guys have never criticized anything but his play thus far.

I thought people were blowing this out of proportion on Twitter but after watching this, it's really bad. Like worse than any presser RG3 ever gave. "That last series was all on me as far as helping the offense go down the field and make something happen. And I looked everybody in the eyes in that huddle and told them we were going to do it. We did." Big yikes there. It's very strange that certain fans act like he's a Make a Wish kid living out his dream.

Didn't Kirk lead the NFL in 4th quarter comebacks when he was on the Redskins in 2017? Why yes he did. Because the team around him sucked. Now that he's on a better team, naturally, his 4th quarter comeback numbers would be lower.

And guess what happened in the final 6 games of both seasons? In 2008, Portis rushed for over 90 yards once in a win, and the team went 1-4 when he didn't. Last year, in the final 6 games, when Peterson rushed over 90+ yards, the team was 0-2 (one of those games includes the 90+ TD run when Sanchez was the QB for context), and the team was 1-3 in games when he didn't. We weren't playoff bound last year with a healthy Smith. It was an 8-8 team at best.
