The quarterback carousel in Washington continues to churn, with no single player staying for more than what seemed like his 15 minutes of fame.
The latest drama is surrounding Dwayne Haskins, who was drafted with the No. 15 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. After just 13 career starts, he was benched four weeks into the 2020 season, playing under a brand new coaching staff and running a brand new scheme yet again. It’s clear that Haskins was unable to live up to expectations this early in his career, but to write him off as a complete bust seems premature, although that’s what Washington seems to have done.
In his place comes QB Kyle Allen, who started a total of 13 games with the Carolina Panthers in the past two years, throwing 19 touchdowns and 16 interceptions with a 6-7 record as a starter. He will now step into a familiar offense under the same coaching staff that he had with his former team, and hopefully, be able to lead them to a playoff berth in the NFC East.
Is Allen the answer long-term at this position? Based on his past performances, it seems a bit unlikely, though you never know for sure. If we’re being honest, though, the likelihood that Washington’s never-ending list of unsuccessful starting quarterbacks keeps growing is high. That seems to be the one thing that this franchise can never figure out.
