Peterson recently told Washington Post that McCoy has the edge when it comes to claiming the top spot on the Redskins’ QB depth chart.

“I feel like Colt, obviously, has the edge because he has the knowledge and ability as well,” – said Peterson. “He’s been shown to have a really strong arm and been consistent as well.”

Out of the three Redskins’ QBs, Colt McCoy is the most familiar with the team’s offense. He joined the Redskins back in 2015 and played five regular-season games with the organization so far. This is why it wouldn’t be surprising if Peterson ends up being right and McCoy wins the QB race.

Haskins is viewed by many as the Redskins’ franchise quarterback of the feature, but his inexperience works against him in the short term. He will likely sit out this year and learn behind the veterans.

Keenum, on the other hand, was a starter for the previous two seasons with Minnesota Vikings and Denver Broncos.  It’s only logical that he wishes to continue this stretch and give McCoy a good run for his money.

Unlike some other QB competitions we saw in the past, Washington’s shouldn’t last for long. The team’s head coach Jay Gruden recently spoke with reporters on this topic and said that he would want to clear any doubts about the starting QB before Redskins’ third preseason game.

In a statement issued after Keenum’s trade was made official, Washington’s head coach Jay Gruden said that while they have two healthy quarterbacks on the roster, the team might still address their QB need in the upcoming draft.

“We still may address it in the draft, who knows? But we have to have two quarterbacks in OTA’s and for someone to come in here and compete with Colt,” – said Gruden. “We all feel great about Colt without a doubt but he’s had his injury history as well, and we anticipate a competitive camp with those two guys. And if we add a third guy via the draft or somewhere else, we’ll roll the ball out there and let them play, but I feel good about Colt and Case’s skillset; they are very similar so it’ll be easy to draw up plays for those two guys.”

After a breakout 2017 season with Minnesota Vikings, Case Keenum signed with the Broncos who hoped he could be a franchise quarterback for them. That didn’t happen as he struggled in his first season with the team, and Denver decided to move on from him by trading for Baltimore Ravens’ Joe Flacco in early February. Keenum finished the 2018 by completing 62.3 percent of his passes for 3,890 yards and 18 touchdowns.

Colt McCoy, on the other side, took over as Redskins’ starting QB last season after Smith’s injury but managed to play only three games before going down with an injury himself.  In those three games he threw for 372 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions.
