The Haskins Threat

I totally haven't stated this or wished this. calm the fuck down. I want Haskins to succeed and build around a young QB, who doesn't ? But first round picks play...the expectation is they can play and show an inkling of talent. But the opportunity to grab a talent in the top 3 at QB is franchise-changing, it has to be explored, simple due dillegence

I'm pretty sure we know he has an inkling of talent, the arm strength is there. Obviously he's not a quick learner or he'd already be in there.

With as much as we now know, I don't think we can judge Haskins on a week-by-week basis. He hasn't shown any flashes in game action, obviously because he's not ready. Hopefully he's starting by the end of the year just so this fanbase will shut up, but realistically his future here will be determined by the next coaching staff. The next HC is going to come in here, test and grade him, and if he doesn't meet the grade the next HC is going to want to bring in his guy regardless.

Idc what happens as long as he keeps working hard to learn. That's all I'm concerned with right now.

Haskins should play the rest of the year so he has experience going into next year. I don't want a QB in this draft. Give me Andrew Thomas or Chase Young. The way we are playing one or both of them will be available.

We could be in a position to draft any qb not named Tua, however I'm much more interested in drafting the best stud football player available. If the next best guy behind Tua is some average first rounder we wouldn't even be having this conversation.



Yes, in today's NFL the trend is definitely towards rookie qb's starting, however that doesn't mean historically it trends well. Rodgers, Brady, Mahomes, and Brees. 3 out of 4 of those qb's sat for at least a season to start their careers. The 4th became a stud in his contract year for the Chargers, who let him go because they had already drafted his replacement (who also didn't start his rookie year and has since become a quality qb).



You're not gonna convince me that a qb has to start his rookie year so you can determine if he needs to be replaced next year. It takes qb's multiple years to learn. It's the hardest position to learn, bar none. Ya'll acting like because we didn't draft the next wunderkind we need to get rid of him. Let's just be honest here Chico, you've already made your opinion of him based on the fact he hasn't looked good while playing in limited action. Unless he starts and blows the fucking doors off this franchise sometime before the end of this season the majority of this fanbase is going to advocate moving on from him if there's a better prospect available in the draft.



We all played ourselves. Dan and Bruce played Gruden. Gruden played us. Forcing a lame-duck HC to draft a qb who has no chance of coming in his rookie year and contributing is a terrible fucking move, and Haskins career is stunted from the start. He's damaged goods now and if we move on next year we're gonna be forced to sell low on him because nobody is going to give up a good draft pick for a guy you have no faith in.



The cycle of mediocrity continues.



Thing is that Burrow, Tua, and Herbert are all coming out. We might very well be picking number 2. I think you are letting your inner Redskin get in the way. Do you think the Cardinals made the right move? Of course you do. But if you were a Cards fan last year you would have been saying the same thing. Give Rosen a chance. Forget Murray. Let Rosen grow and grab a stud at some other position. It is the logical thing to not want to waste a high draft pick. Problem is that now you would not have the quarterback of the future and it might be five years before you get another chance while Rosen/Haskins doesn’t pan out. Yes quarterback is that important and yes this is the perfect time (basically 8 preseason games for us because the season is over) to see what you got.
In 8 games we can see a whole hell of alot as far as whether it is worth developing Haskins or not Mooby. Letting him hang on the sidelines is just utter nonsense at this point. If he shows enough than we know we got our guy and we build around him. If he looks as lost in week 16 as he does now than you have to draft one of those three players. I understand you want to be patient but to what end? Why not use this lost season as an opportunity to at least get a better idea of what the right decision is. It seems to be working out well for the Cardinals.
As far as Brees and those others you mentioned I could name 20 for every one of them that did not pan out after sitting. They are obviously exceptions. Usually slow learners stay slow.

Is Ryan Finley starting because he's looked amazing in practice or is it because the Bengals are 0-7 with Dalton at the helm?



If the Bengals finish with 1-2 wins and Finley doesn't do any better than Dalton are you still gonna be slobbing on Finley's knob because he was starting and Haskins isn't?



I find it hella pathetic the amount of freaking out this fanbase is doing over Haskins not starting. Why do you care if he starts or not as long as next year or the year after he's playing like a pro qb? We're not contending this year, winning games only hurts our draft position.



You guys question the process like the process of getting your rookie qb to start for a team that fired the HC and replaced him with a guy who's been coaching o-line for the last 15 years is the norm.



Why don't we ask Baker Mayfield if starting early last year for a HC who was promoted from QB coach is helping him now?Wow! Someone who is finally speaking some sense! [emoji106]

It’s an absolute joke that anyone thinks Haskins is a bust

Dude is a chump.

Played one year with a STACKED OSU team.

He will never be an NFL starter, period.

Well Haskins is getting first team reps now and he likely will play against the Bills top rated defense. Lets just let this season play out and see where the cards land.

I'm leaning towards him not starting against Buffalo. I think the team is fine with him not starting at all this year. And no guarantees he heads into next year as the starter. Don't call it an Alex Smith comeback folks.

It’s an absolute joke that anyone thinks Haskins is a bustBased on what you know now, should the Redskins pick a QB in the 2020 draft?

If so, early, mid, or late rounds? (Assuming draft grades are equal with players at other positions)

Problem is what do we know based on 22 passes and no starts

On the other hand I don't think previous lack of first team reps is really stunting his growth. A huge problem is his inconsistent footwork, which effects the accuracy needed to succeed as an NFL QB. He could work on that playing QB in a High School practice scrimmage.
