Dwayne Haskins preseason thread

[skinsfan69]

Not that I ever would want Snyder to do this except this one time...lol. I wish he'd go into Gruden's office and tell him we're going with the rookie. It's going to be a rough beginning but we're playing for the future. Get him ready and give him all the 1st team reps.

It did Mayfield not one bit of good sitting behind Taylor. The Cards are starting Murray. Josh Allen, Wentz and Darnold all played early as rookies. Why should Haskins be any different?

First of all, don't put that past Snyder. Secondly, Mayfield had a heckuva lot more starting experience than Haskins. Haskins has few starts at the college level, yet alone at the NFL. Haskins needs to improve his footwork. Mayfield's fundamentals are superior to Haskins as rookies. Most rookies qbs do better not starting and observing year 1. I feel Haskins should be no exception to this.

Because the last first round qb to sit for a year became MVP his second year?

If Haskins starts early it's because Gruden is trying to save his ass, not because Haskins is ready.

Just to play devil's advocate it helped Mahomes that he had the most explosive offense in football

I don't expect it to have the same effect on Haskins, but acting like sitting the kid is doing no favors is unrealistic imo.

He needs to learn NFL terminology and see firsthand what an pro work ethic looks like. He also needs game experience. Delaying the latter is not going to hurt the former.

Mahomes is a baller. Had he started his 1st year KC may have made it to the SB.

100%.

The fact some people think he magically became a baller because he sat for a year is absurd.

You're understanding Alex Smith's mentorship game, aren't you ? *sarcasm*
