That's not inaccurate. But Philly being Philly, I wouldn't be surprised if they did this just to troll us.

Honestly, I never liked Haskins although I hoped for the best. He acted like a petulant child when drafted 15th, claiming "The league done messed up." He's not the first QB to feel he was drafted too low, but perhaps the least deserving of feeling that way given his limited number of college games (and soiling himself in arguably the biggest game against Purdue).

Look at what Aaron Rodgers did. He was pissed he wasn't drafted higher, and he let that motivate him to slay it once, years after waiting behind Favre and further honing his craft, he got the chance to start. In other words, he bided his time and then made the most of his opportunity. The complete opposite approach to what Haskins did, who was vocal about not being lauded more out of the box, pouted when not played immediately, pouted again when benched, and otherwise acted like an idiot (selfie before the game ended v. Detroit last year, and two COVID violations this year).

Good fucking riddance. Addition by subtraction.

1. The owner stepped in and forced him to be drafted
2. Jay Gruden felt forced to play Haskins in an effort to save his job since Haskins was Snyder’s guy (Haskins was not ready yet for NFL reps)
3. Rivera gets hired and Haskins was never his guy
4. There was never an explanation for his demotion to 3rd string earlier this season (I just assume it was Rivera trying to motivate Haskins)
5. If Alex Smith was healthy the last 2 weeks he would’ve played instead of Haskins
6. While they’re in 1st place in division (and in COVID world) he went to the strip club following a loss instead of doing anything else football or in-home related
7. Lost captaincy following strip club
8. Left stadium immediately after game and avoided media questions until he got home… and even then he was barely “answering” questions and had extremely low energy (the kid just seems to be mentally defeated when seen on camera)

Agree with the things mentioned above re: to releasing Haskins. I'll also add to remove a distraction while the team is vying for a division title.

I wish Haskins the best going forward.

Re: Haskins released

I'm glad this is over, now there won't be any more distraction and the team can 100% focus on the game this Sunday.

This is culture change in action. Standards are a bitch sometimes, but they are the foundation of any legitimate organization.

Fucking love it.

Re: Haskins released

Was it just me but I never saw Alex Smith sitting with Haskins and the QB coach yesterday. I know I saw them together at the Seahawk game but not yesterday.

Love the statement by Ron

I forget the article when he was hired, but the incident where he told the Panther team come together as a team or get the fuck out the way.

Re: Haskins released

What I also like about this move is the continuing reinforcement of the fact that Ron has absolute control over the team.

Re: Haskins released

Haskins cost the team yesterday by creating a distraction, he was given a chance to rectify the distraction, instead he played like he was distracted. So glad the distraction is gone. I could see Seattle/SF picking him up and try to rescue him.

"The league done messed up" will live in infamy forever in Washington.

There is no type of clause in there that says if we have to release him because of breaking team rules / league rules etc that we don't have to pay the whole thing?

Lifetime suffering Redskin fan and ODU is my alma mater. Heinicke was great at the FCS level, and became starter midway through his freshman year. As I posted on another thread, Heinicke has all the tools except one, and his size makes him injury-prone at this level, particularly with how much he scrambles. Thrilled to see a really good "kid" get a shot and as happy to hear that he was finishing up his engineering degree when Washington picked him up - should tell you something right there.
At ODU his sophomore year, he threw for 730 yards in a 64-61 win over New Hampshire (then a D-1 record). That was a game a helluva lot more people say they attended then actually were there - it was just spectacular.

@AndrewSiciliano
Washington has drafted 12 QB in the 1st round…

Only ONE has a winning record with the franchise:

HOF Sammy Baugh.
He retired in 1952.
