Ethan in Cleveland Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Haskins 13 games : 59.6% 2304 Yards 11 TD 10 INT Josh Allen 12 games (all in 2018): 52.8% 2074 Yds 10 TD 12 INT I'm not saying Haskins will develop. But it's a bit premature to say he is done in the NFL. Through his first 13 games he is statistically better than Allen in every category. No OTAs. No preseason (don't think that matters much - but some do). Maybe they feel Kyle Allen is their long term answer at QB. If so then why was he not the starter game 1? If not then it is silly to pull Haskins now and not let him continue to develop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I have no idea how good Haskins will be. I just know he got thrown into a dumpster fire of a franchise and wasn’t given a chance to grow into a role. I hate what bad teams do to young QBs. But, but, but, he was a big boy, from a big boy school, who put up big boy numbers, and dominated at every level!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of disingenuous to say Haskins is better in every category, when what you mean is better in the categories you selected. I don't see anything about rushing in there. Or win/lose record for that matter. Secondly, if he thought Kyle Allen is their long term answer it is not necessarily silly to wait for him to get acclimated to the team before putting him in. The no OTAs and no preseason apply more to Allen than Haskins. Kind of like what Miami is doing with Tua. Haskins was never the answer. Gruden didn't want him, and neither does Rivera.

Guys like JP, EJ and Trent while they may never have been a top 5 QB were certainly done no favors by being in a dysfunctional organization. The Washington Team is a bad spot for a young QB to be in. Their organization is a complete mess and they lack on field talent. I think Haskins might be best served to be traded to a team like Pittsburgh. He needs to go to a team that can groom him behind a vet QB for a year or two to regain his confidence and enter into a good situation on the field. Even if he were to do that he might still be a bust but landing in a bad situation like Washington is not helping him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys used to get time to struggle, learn and get better. They also used to get time to sit and watch from the bench. Obviously some succeed, but plenty of talent has been cast aside too soon. He simply had no one invested in his development. I don't agree. I think it's pretty easy for NFL coaches to spot a bust since they see him just about every day at practice and in games. When the coach believes he's got a bust, his 1st inclination is to bench him ASAP because he realizes that the bad QB can cost him his job. Marrone bailed on EJ for Orton & Mularkey bailed on JP for Holcomb. Neither EJ nor JP were ruined, they never had it & the coach realized it & benched them. The only reason JP got another shot was because a new coaching staff that didn't see him every day came in. The next year they benched him for a rookie after JP got injured. Look at Josh Rosen. Arizona saw a bust, dumped him off to Miami & Miami cut him after 2 years in the NFL. Nobody wants him on their active roster, now he's on a practice squad on his way to oblivion. There were a lot of questions about Haskins & his lack of college experience going into the draft. I think Ron Rivera & his staff have seen enough to write the guy off. It's always easier for someone who had nothing to do with drafting him to bench a high draft pick. I expect Haskins to ride off to the sunset and join a lot of 1st round QB busts. Nobody ruined him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say the same thing for Rosen too though his sample size of failure is larger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching Josh in his rookie year anyone could see the flashes of brilliance that gave observers encouragement for his future. I doubt the same could be said for Haskins.

You are exactly correct, signed Brett Favre, Kurt Warner, Alex Smith, Drew Brees. The coaches that traded or cut us knew exactly what they were doing. 1 minute ago, Einstein's Dog said: Sorry.

There were many on this board that said Allen was a bust after his first year. They are all in hiding now. My only point is that it is too early to know. With that said, I'm an OSU alum (medial school not undergrad) and I did not see a first round talent in Haskins nor a player that should be starting his rookie year. A prospect without the elite arm talent of Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Haskins hasn't been placed in the best of positions to succeed. Where you land in the draft does matter in many instances, especially with a guy like Haskins who had limited starting experience compared to other QB's who come out of college. The Football Team was a 💩 show last year and a completely different staff was brought in for this one. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up released this offseason if they can't trade him for peanuts. Washington will be drafting a QB again in 2021.

JohnC Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 3 hours ago, YoloinOhio said: I have a different mindset. Barkley has no upside. He’s not a good backup. His purpose is on the film room etc with Allen but at this point i. His third year i feel like that’s not worth what we are paying him. With what Brian Daboll and Ken Dorsey have done with Josh Allen... I’ll take a flyer on Haskins as a developmental back-up for a late round pick, and future upgrade as back up. I respectfully but strenuously disagree. Barkley works well with our young starting qb as a mentor and support system. He also has the ability to come in on a short notice and keep the offense that he knows well working for the short term. Haskins has none of those supportive abilities. I live in a Maryland suburb near DC. The not so unsubtle insinuation about Haskins is that the staff is working with him to follow what the coaching staff is trying to instill. In the games he is not absorbing and following their instructions. When the qb is off script it's not surprising the offense is off kilter. The benching of Haskins is a message from the HC is that he wants his players to do what he wants them to do, and not do what the individual player wants to do contrary to the team concept. The benching of Haskins is not meant to close the door on Haskins as a starting qb. But what it is doing is jolting the player that he needs to absorb mental side of the game and better exhibit it in the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coaches that traded or cut us knew exactly what they were doing. Pretty bad examples: Favre-A 2nd round pick who a year later the team was offered a #1 pick for and took it. Warner-A raw rookie undrafted free agent who got caught up in a numbers game behind a future HOFer, A former Heisman winner & a future Pro Bowler & long term NFL starter. Smith-Spent EIGHT seasons with the 49ers before being traded. EIGHT SEASONS! Brees-Spent 5 seasons with the Chargers. His career started off mediocre & after his 3rd season the team drafted Manning & traded him for Rivers the day of the draft. However the Chargers didn't let him go & he held off Rivers & had a good to great season in his 4th year. He then was franchised & was the starter in his 5th year. In his last game as a Charger he suffered a severe injury and since he was a free agent the Chargers decide that rather than risk big $ on a medical risk, they would go with Rivers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, the flip side is that it wasn't hard for people to see early on that this guy is EJ Manuel 2.0 and you shouldn't need a long time to figure it out and move on Haskins is a much better quarterback than EJ Manuel Literally the only thing they have similar are they are six five and black. Nothing about their game is similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
