Boardregeln » A report that Washington is planning

to play without quarterback Alex Smith during the 2019 season was dismissed as “nonsense” by team president Bruce Allen last month.Allen couldn’t rule Smith in for next season Tress Way Jersey , however, and one of Smith’s teammates believes the compound leg fracture that Smith suffered will push any possible return to 2020. Running back Chris Thompson doesn’t sound like he knows anything for sure, but, unlike Allen, is willing to admit that planning for life without Smith seems the logical course of action right now.“We know and understand that it’s probably not going to happen that we have him this year,” Thompson said Clinton Portis Jersey , via NBC Sports Washington.There have been talks with Josh Johnson about signing a new deal with the team, but Colt McCoy is set up as the likely No. 1 unless Smith’s recovery takes a rapid turn for the best. Should there be a move that bumps McCoy down a rung, it would be a clear sign that Thompson’s view is on the money. Dwayne Haskins is not sweating his status as a clipboard holder.Haskins, Washington’s first-round draft pick, hasn’t played a down this season while the other two first-round quarterbacks, Kyler Murray and Daniel Jones Brandon Scherff Jersey , are starters. Haskins says he’s not jealous of Murray and Jones, but he’s happy to follow his own timeline.“No, I’m happy for those guys,” Haskins said, via ESPN.Haskins noted that three of the best quarterbacks of the modern era didn’t play as rookies.“It’s easy to look at the rookie class and be like, ‘Rookies are playing Ross Pierschbacher Washington Redskins Jersey , why am I not playing?’ I want to be like Tom Brady and Drew Brees and that’s something that doesn’t happen overnight. Tom didn’t play at first; Aaron Rodgers didn’t play at first,” Haskins said.Given the team’s 0-3 start, there might not be much patience in Washington from those who want to see what he can do to help improve the team’s fortunes. But he’s willing to be as patient as he needs to be.
