Redskins Coach Jay Gruden ‘Did Not Want’ Dwayne Haskins And Haskins Can Sense That, New Report Claims

It is currently noon on Friday, do you know who the current coach of the Washington Redskins is?

The refreshing chill of fall has officially hit and if he close your eyes and inhale deeply, you can faintly pick up on the smell of fresh ink from the pink slip that will inevitably be handed to Jay Gruden, an action that many close to the Redskins believe could happen as early as Monday following a sure loss to the Patriots.

Gruden was mocked on the internet this week for saying he doesn’t yet have a plan for which quarterback will be given the honor of being embarrassed by the Patriots this Sunday.

A new report from Les Carpenter of Washington Post seems to suggest that Gruden would choose the Redskins ballboy over rookie Dwayne Haskins.

Unnamed sources who are close to the situation in Washington claim that Gruden did not want to even draft Haskins with the 15th overall pick of last year’s draft. Gruden preferred a more experienced quarterback but was overruled by perpetually inept owner Daniel Snyder.

The report also indicates that the 22-year-old “sensed” he was never wanted by Gruden, a sentiment that has only been confirmed by Gruden only giving Haskins game action when both Case Keenum was hurt and Colt McCoy was inactive. Case and Colt aren’t exactly Joe Montana and Steve Young.

In last week’s game against the Giants, Haskins threw for just 107 yards and three interceptions. A shitty performance added to the head coach instilling zero confidence in him has got to have Haskins feeling low right now.

The Redskins are 0-4. The season is all but lost. Dan Snyder is ducking behind a desk in his ivory tower, leaving yet another coach to inescapably fall victim to the systemic buffoonery of the Washington Redskins.

Sad.
