Following a miserable but not entirely surprising 0-3 start to the season for the Redskins, fans have been calling for the organization to turn away from Case Keenum to the quarterback of the future, 15th overall pick Dwayne Haskins. According to various reports, however, Redskins coaches may not be on board with starting Haskins, who reportedly isn’t getting reps in practice.
During an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show on Friday, Fox Sports’ Joel Klatt reported that there is a rift between Redskins and executives and Redskins coaches over the fate of Haskins, who is set to back up Keenum as Washington faces the Giants and rookie quarterback Daniel Jones on Sunday. According to Klatt, the Redskins’ coaching staff was against drafting Haskins entirely.
Haskins refuted Klatt’s report on Twitter, calling it “fake news.”
On Thursday, Redskins running back Chris Thompson defended Jay Gruden, and responded to a report that Haskins isn’t being put in a position to succeed.
