Yes cuz I seem to remember Case playing so well against Philly the last time.. lol, but I mean sure let him get beat up cuz our line is sub par and their front 7 is pretty strong. I still think we'll get blown out by their defense and ours will try it's bet to keep us in the game but will get gassed and gashed like usual. Seen this movie before. We don't have a QB or a coach that can game plan and adjust well enough to give us a fighting chance against an opponent who (disgustingly sadly and boils my blood) out matches us
I actually think we can beat them IF we take care of the football.. We do need a big play or 2 downfield to help the run game.
Wish we’d start Haskins against Atlanta and give him the whole first half with the starters. We know what we’ve got in Case.

That would be nice but I'm sure Case will get the first half unfortunately

Jay's got to play for his job, so he has every incentive to play the guy who is ready now. He knows what Keenum is - he knows he's got the lowest risk of turning the ball over, which will work best with his defense & run game oriented team.
The only way starting Haskins becomes a consideration for Jay is if the front office makes him. They could easily say hey we don't think we're going to be real good anyway and force him to start the rookie.
But then you introduce the possibility of Jay throwing up his hands and the locker room disengaging, and none of that is good.
Starting Keenum makes the most sense if you're trying to win games this year. And I'd argue that if you want to build a culture that's worth a crap, you need to try to win every year, no matter what. Play the best guy. Haskins will be the best guy some day, but he's not now.

And to add to this, in all reality Haskins isn't ready to start. It would be different if we didn't have Case, I'm fine with DH sitting this yr
Barring a career season from Case at some point Haskins is going to play. It’s going to take a strong start to the season to justify not making the switch once we get into October or so.

Case will be what Alex was , low risk throws and that is what Jay is wanting.

Gruden, and most NFL coaches, would never do that at this point
Correct!
Keenum is in a new system with new teammates so he needs the snaps to prepare for game 1.
