I liked him coming out of college but felt he was a bit risky to take compared to everyone else simply due to his lack of overall experience. He had one big year of output. Probably should have stayed another year at Ohio St.

There's also been some grumblings that it was actually ownership requesting that Haskins be drafted back in April and that the coaching staff was pretty much iffy on it or didn't want it to happen to begin with. I would say I am surprised but this is the Redskins we're talking about. Daniel Snyder is known for these decisions.

Very good points.

Well. Jay Gruden is out in Washington. Seems a bit early. But there was clearly a disconnect between the coaching staff and Snyder. Always something with the coaches up there in Washington. Snyder forced his hand with RGIII and it rubbed Shanahan the wrong way. Seems to be damn near the EXACT same case with Gruden and Haskins this year. 

My guess is that Jay Gruden makes some kind of return to the Bengals this year or early next year. He's still one of the better offensive minds in football. I don't think he'll be out of a job for long. Hell, he could end up with his big brother in Oakland or in Vegas next year helping him out.
