Via Washington Post:
Complicating matters is the lingering question, dating back to draft day, of whether Redskins Coach Jay Gruden viewed Haskins as the right choice for the team. Before Haskins was selected, ESPN reported that Washington’s coaching staff preferred a more experienced college player — like Duke’s Daniel Jones, who was selected sixth overall by the New York Giants — only to be overruled by owner Daniel Snyder.
A person with knowledge of Gruden’s thinking has confirmed that the head coach did not want Haskins, and while Haskins has publicly downplayed any suggestion that he wasn’t Gruden’s choice, a person close to the rookie quarterback said that Haskins has sensed that to be the case.
Haskins was selected by the Redskins with the No. 14 overall pick and has completed 9 of 17 pass attempts for 107 yards and three interceptions.
He also rushed for 23 yards.
Organizational failure here. If you draft a rookie QB, that’s the priority.
Looks like he got drafted into a real bad situation. . .
