Kyle Allen is the newest quarterback for the Washington Redskins, brought in, we’re led to believe, to press last year’s top pick and owner Dan Snyder favorite, Dwayne Haskins.
Allen is supposed to press Haskins for the starter’s job.
Well, there is competition, and there is the illusion of competition.
Cam Newton — released by the Panthers Tuesday, one day after Allen was dealt to Washington for a fifth-round draft pick — would have been competition.
Actually, revise that. A healthy Newton would have beaten out Haskins seven out of seven days in any so-called competition.
