In Other NFL News ....
The Washington Football Team have benched QB Duane Haskins after 3 games ....
There are reasons why the WFT is on starting QB No. 30 since 1993

Rivera and his staff had the kid for all of six weeks this summer, watched him throw 146 passes in their system, and they've seen enough. Apparently, the 489 attempts they saw out of Allen last year weren't enough. Which brings me to a little exercise. Try to name the following quarterbacks through their first 13 NFL games:
Player A) 193/283 (48.4%), 1,801 yards, 8 TD/15 INT, 59.6 rating
Player B) 208/349 (59.6%), 2,304 yards, 11 TD/10 INT, 77.8 rating
Player C) 269/476 (56.6%), 2,869 yards, 21 TD /25 INT, 68.0 rating
Please pick who you would think is showing better ....
Answers: Player A is John Elway; Player B is Haskins; Player C is
Peyton Manning.
No, I don't think Haskins is Elway or Manning. It's not a fair comparison on a multitude of levels. But the sample size is what it is, and there is no way to know what Haskins is or isn't at this stage of his career, given all that has transpired since he was donned a cap bearing a logo that no longer exists. And Allen might be okay. Who knows? He showed well for a month or so last season until it all broke down. But this isn't about him, anyway.

I'd say this was "Unbelievable" ...
But it IS Washington ...
I heard on the NFL Network the gal said that Haskins is now on the PRACTICE Squad ....
WOW ...
Not even on the team anymore ...
I hope they trade him .... to a decent team, where he has a chance ....
For that matter, trade McLaurin and Young as well .... they don't deserve them.
