The Haskins Threat

That is the hope in most fans, can't fault them for that. Those 3 are young and could be studs for a long time. I'm not sold on Haskins or Guice but I am sold on Terry, that kid is a legit #1 and will be a top 10 WR one day



I don’t think he is faulting anyone for hoping, but he is 100% correct. McLaurin has shown us he can be brilliant. Guice and Haskins not so much. People are definitely acting like this is the second coming of Aikman, Irvin, and Smith. Could it be ? Sure. Is that based on what we have actually seen? Only with McLaurin. The other two guys really haven’t shown us anything yet other than a run here n a pass there.
I know it has been 20 years of suck, and we are desperate for good things to come our way but let’s slow our roll with we got our RB, QB, and WR of the future until they prove it on an actual football field in the B & G.

It’s been a disaster of a season, actually since half way through last year. I can’t fault fans for feeling good after a win. And nothing wrong with feeling hopeful about the young guys like Haskins, Guice, McLaurin, Harmon, etc.

I actually liked that Haskins took time to go bond with the fans. That was great to see. Yeah he made a mistake not taking knee but he will learn from that. Theismann and some of the media killing him for it just seems overboard to me.

And don't forget about Sims. We have got to get that kid the ball in the passing game.

For sure, I am a firm "don't drink the kool-aid" guy.

Guice cant stay healthy
Haskins looks like an inept passer right now
Terry is the real deal but can he keep that consistent?

Guice passes the eye test. If he can stay healthy we have a true stud at RB. Between Guice, McLaurin and Sims you have 3 explosive guys on the field. Keep those 3 on the field as much as possible.

No argument on Terry he could be the next Jerry Rice, but the other two haven't done crap.

Guice needs to be left out on the field. This rotating the backs is a bunch of BS if you ask me. He is obviously the most explosive back we have yet they keep rotating him. Callahan has a man crush like I've never seen for AP.

The Bills do it too with Gore and Singletary, it's just that respect aspect I guess

I admittedly haven’t watched a whole lot this year, but have seen enough. Maybe it is just coincidence but every time I have watched AP is breaking off 10 yard runs more than once. Besides McLaurin I feel like he is the only offense we have had.
If we had a passing game at all to keep defenses honest I think AP would be killing it but as games wear on teams realize they can just stack the box and key on the run.

Had Haskins showed up 12 minutes later, he wouldn’t have been eligible to play Sunday.

Given that we have no idea what happened before that, is it a little premature to condemn him for what time he showed up?

For all we know he was late because he got a flat tire on the way there.
