The Haskins Threat

I know Haskins has many issues and he may end up being a first round bust. BUT YOU’VE GOT TO KEEP PLAYING HIM - NOW. He may or may not be able to correct his happy feet and his other significant problems. But the longer he DOESN’T play the longer it takes for us to find out if he has the innate and trainable aspects to being an elite QB. I’ve seen draft bust QB for the Redskins from Heath Shuler, to Jason Campbell to RG3 to Cousins and now to Haskins. He will need to play probably 20-30 games before he can be officially a bust. That’s what happened to all these others. In Jason Campbell’s case he sat for 1.5 seasons before he played and the result was the same. So let the training and evaluation process begin NOW. We may win one more game with Case in there. It’s not worth it.

Somewhere in the 2020 draft the Redskins will need to pick a QB project player (like Cousins). But the draft must concentrate on the OL. TW and Moses must be replaced. Maybe even Scherff. The new HC will come here with the assignment to maximize Haskins and then see if he’s the future.

Finally, there is not much of a fan base left for the Redskins. Every “home game” has far more opposing team supporters than ours. EVERY game is an away game. Ppl will support Haskins for a year or two. Then he’s either there or not. Play him now, warts and all!

The new head coach will want to be able to say who the QB is on this team .. if they don’t believe in Haskins then they should not be forced to play him .. if he plays the rest of season at least we will know what his ability is .. I don’t think we win another game and should have top 3 pick in draft .. we do have options ..

Seriously, they've got 11 days to get a game plan installed for him. Give him a limited package of things he's comfortable with. Screens, quick slants, one read stuff, no audibles just let him throw hot. Why can every other team with a rookie QB get them up to speed and we have to keep hearing how our guy isn't ready?

You know who's laughing over this not ready crap? The Shanahans. They took Griffin and molded an entire offense around him and he won ROY. I'm done with this not ready BS. Get him ready.

I agree but much easier to mold an offense around a guy who can run for a 1,000 yards.

The most telling thing to me, beyond what we've seen on the field which has been bad enough, is the fact that his teammates are saying he's not ready. Does that change after ONE full week of practice/reps with the 1s...I don't see it, but maybe he'll get that chance and prove me wrong.

I'm not a fan of him starting mostly because this team is still fighting their asses off. There's obvious holes, and the offense hasn't been good, but they are still fighting. I think they are fighting because they still believe they have a chance to win these games. Does that continue if the coach decides to trot out a kid who gives them ZERO chance to compete? No, I don't think it does. Seriously, the players on that team want to win, and they rightfully expect the coaching staff to put in the players that give them the best shot at doing that.

I'm just going to be completely honest with you guys. I was very excited when we drafted Haskins. I understand that there will be growing pains. However, this guy doesn't even look functional at this point. He can't even run a vanilla offense. We made a mistake. This guy doesn't have it. I hope I am wrong.

He’s not ready because he has 15 collegiate starts and should have stayed at OSU. Division I football, even at the highest level, is still not the NFL. This dude is raw as a fresh tuna catch as it comes in the boat.

That has nothing to do with it. Kyler Murray had almost the same amount of starts as Dwayne

they are different though, Kyler is a freak athlete so that helps. He's also in a Offense that he used in college (Air Raid) which is very QB friendly.

Yes, and Kyler Murray is exactly the same type of qb, a pocket passer with a big arm. There's no learning curve for that style qb either, he should be plug'n'play.

After seeing the interview I'm 75% that he's a bust and 25% that it's too early.

I'm reminded of the joke where a woman was in a big flood and asked God to help her. Later 3 different boats came by and asked if they could help and she said "No, God will help." After she drowned she saw God and asked why he hadn't helped. And he asked "And the 3 boats...?"

I'm just left with the feeling that he thinks that in time, "God will provide" and that he doesn't need to do that much to help.
