The Haskins Threat

If he's not starting against NYJ coming out of the bye something is seriously not right with this situation.

yeah because we should be 1-8 so there is no reason to hold him out after that bye

So we got to see the rookie tonight. Forget all the rumors and reports. I'm going by what my eyes tell me. And what they tell me is he is a mess. He can't even set his feet the right way when he throws the ball. He easily could have had another pick on the throw to AP. And of course the INT itself was just atrocious as Aikman pointed out his throwing mechanics are off. This was one of the things that was being reported, that he keeps throwing high. He has a real long way to go.

Haskins looked like complete shit. He can't even complete basic passes to open targets.

As, I said in the game thread: He has poor mechanics and game seems to move too fast for him.

He could be fine in the end, but he only started for one season and he used his arm talent (which he definitely has) and the wildly, elite personnel around him at Ohio State. He's gonna need time in the NFL.

Obviously he needs a lot of work.

At this point it seems inevitable he will be starting at some point whether by injury or poor performance, so we might as well call Keenum's concussion a long term one and let Haskins take his lumps. Because it should be obvious to anyone with two eyes Haskins is going to take a lot of lumps as he is nowhere near ready.

My only concern at this point is what is surely going to amount to a terrible rookie season for Haskins translating into a poor career for him. But hey, if it happens it's because he's a bust, not because he never got time to learn (because he's clearly starting from square one as a pro qb).

This should be obvious. I got 10 bucks that says if he plays like this for the rest of the year, we'll be drafting a qb next offseason and selling Haskins Josh Rosen style.

Yeah, can we put to bed once and for all that Haskins should be starting? He doesn't give this team a chance at all right now. If you want to lose the locker room, put him out there as the starter looking like he has the last two times he's played in a real game.

I'll add another 5 bucks to your 10 bucks, as I agree.

I don't see that happening. Rosen was light years ahead of where Haskins is right now.

In the full games’ worth of time he has played, he is 12-22 for 140 yards, 0 TD and 4 INT. Yeah, he didn’t get first team reps, but this was against the Giants pretty bad D and the Vikings very good D.

He’s nowhere near ready. I just hope this experience isn’t so searing that he can’t recover from it. I think he has some bad outings in his near future - and clearly needs an offseason of doing a lot of hard work to become an NFL QB.
