Sources: The Washington Football Team is making a QB change. Kyle Allen will get the start vs. the #Rams, while former starter Dwayne Haskins goes to the bench.

That franchise is a disaster of epic proportions.

Even better

Not only is Dwayne Haskins not starting for the Washington Football Team on Sunday, he's not even No. 2. Alex Smith will back up Kyle Allen against the #Rams.


I guess they are gonna try to trade him?

Not a bad thing for Haskins, IMO. He will benefit from a year or two as a backup.

Tons of talent. Needs time to mature.

Dwaynes agent posted this the other day

Amazing this is the narrative coming out of DC. A young QB (10 starts total over 2 seasons) who is in a brand new system, with no off-season in said new system, a young OL, limited weapons on offense and only 3 games into the NFL season. Yet “he” is the one that must play well.

Guys don’t really get better with less reps and opportunity

If that’s all the sample size you need to pull that plug then Darnold and Josh Allen should’ve been benched 20 starts ago

I’m not saying any of them don’t, but that doesn’t mean I’d bench them to start Kyle Allen tho

He's actually getting demoted to third string behind Alex Smith

Being buddies with the owner's son don't play with Ron Rivera.

He just threw for 350 against the Ravens with a 71% completion percentage.

Not saying he’s going to become a great QB, but he basically has no help on the offense outside of McLaurin. He was setup for failure from the start.

They should have recognized that he's a total bust after last season and drafted Joe Burrow.

This part is crazy because if Alex Smith is healthy enough to actually play, I have a hard time believing he’s not the best QB on the roster

How the hell do you expect them to draft a guy who went first overall Tom.

Rivera never wanted him. That was evident when he was hired

Surprising. Most around here seemed to expect Haskins to at least get a couple of more weeks before getting benched.

And even then most expected Smith to take his place first.

But I get that Rivera is familiar with Allen from their brief time with the Panthers and Smith has played a snap in about 2 years.
