Keenum, McCoy or Haskins? Odds on Which QB Will Start Week 1 for the Redskins

Despite being supposed to become among the worst teams in the NFL in 2019, the Washington Redskins have any significant decisions to make when it concerns the quarterback position. With Week two of the NFL preseason upon usoddsmakers have introduced props where guy will make the starting quarterback position once the normal season arrives.
BetOnline is dealing Case Keenum since the +100 preferred to be the beginning in Week 1, using Colt McCoy (+200) and Dwayne Haskins (+250) as the underdogs. Even the’Skins regular-season OVER/UNDER win total was set at 6.5 at the shop.
Washington head coach Jay Gruden has a major decision on his hands. Gruden, who is Listed As The Fave are the first coach fired this year, hasn’t made any statements as to which man will find the starting job, but watching Keenum as the likeliest participant to do so is logical.
As stated by the Washington Post, Keenum has been”probably the Redskins’ starting quarterback for the time being.” Keenum was traded to the Redskins from Denver in the offseason after an underwhelming campaign together with the Broncos where he threw for 18 touchdowns and also 3,890 yards combined with 15 interceptions. He seems like the safest one, although keenum won’t be thought to be the alternative under centre for Redskins fans.
McCoy was given the reins of the beginning job this past year after Alex Smith endured a brutal season-ending leg accident, yet the Texas product endured a season-ending accident of his own just a few weeks following Smith’s.
The 32-year-old has been with the Redskins since 2014 and understands the offense better than another signal-callers on the roster, so don’t be surprised it Gruden chooses to proceed with McCoy out of the gate.
It is probably going to be a long year in D.C., and that means Haskins probably won’t be hurried into action. The Redskins seemed to find a steal by choosing Haskins with the No. 15 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, however, the former Ohio State standout struggled in his first preseason action. Haskins completed 8 of 14 passes for 117 yards in his debut from Cleveland but was intercepted twice.
Haskins is famous for his powerful hands and poise under pressure, and he’s already seen as the quarterback of the future for the club. But together with Keenum and McCoy from the fold, this makes more sense for Haskins to observe from the sidelines for the first couple weeks of the year. The Redskins could easily be from contention.
With tough games against the Eagles, Cowboys, Bears and Patriots in four out of the first five months, Haskins is much better off to the seat. If Washington is from playoff contention shortly afterwards, giving Haskins a shot in the future could be the best plan of action.
