In terms of Alex season, AP was the MVP, Smith was a benefactor of his success. Plus they were peaking as an offense. Smith was having another garbage game when he got hurt.

You're so right! Bruce, hired an aging, VERY AVERAGE QB for a long contract. Why? In the NFL you need an elite, franchise QB to win consistently, season after season. The truth is that Bruce Allen is happy to be average. Only with a potential franchise QB, like Haskins, can this team move up the ladder to the next level.

Yeah...kinda tired of talking Alex. It didn’t work out.

I’m interested to see how Keenum does in this offense and the development of Haskins. Completely moved on

Yeah, we've had so many average, journeyman, bums or draft bust QB's since the last SB. I'm looking for Haskins to give us the long-term franchise answer at QB. Case Keenum hasn't done it on any other team and won't do it here. But I'll give him a chance in
the pre-season.
