The Haskins Threat

[Buffalo Bob]

When I saw threat, considering all the rumors calling him entitled, not wanting to work hard, etc,etc, I figured he was demanding a trade if he wasn't named starter for the rest of the season. I think you just made click bait.

I don't understand this narrative , the kid is always staying after practice working on footwork and throwing. He needs to mature yes but he's 22 lol he's still a kid

I read that in more than one place. Could have been just anti Redskin writers posting crap. I am not familiar with the leanings of most sports writers. Bias doesn't register with me unless someone is over the top obnoxious like the Dan Lebatard types.

As an example of bias, I don't remember the writer, just that they were on the ESPN website. They were all over how bad it was for the Redskins to get Ha Ha Clinton Dix, then when the Bears picked him up they were praised for a great acquisition. Some of those guys just bad mouth the Redskins 24-7.

None of the local beat guys have anything negative to say about him. If you're talking about Lombardi's rant he's always had an axe to grind against the team, specifically Bruce Allen.

Folks on the national scene are going to exaggerate the dysfunction to get even more ratings (Lombardi, Florio, LaCanfora, etc., etc.). And given the team's history is easy for them to do this.

Not long ago Craig Hoffman had a rant about this on Twitter, talking about national reporters he never sees at Redskins park exaggerating a lot of the stuff they report.

It's like there is plenty dysfunction to report without needing to exaggerate things. But people do it anyway. Oh well, that's why I trust the local beat guys more than anything on the national level.

To be honest so was rg3. I don’t care about any of this. I only care about performing on the field.
