The Haskins Threat

Not if Bruce is still in charge, but as I was saying the other day from what I heard the FO is scared to play him because there is fear that if he looks bad the media will pressure the team to draft another QB and that would cripple their reputation even more

Yeah and some ex-players like Portis worry the fans would turn on Haskins if he struggled. This franchise is such a mess in so many ways. No plan and scared to act.

You think this fanbase wouldn't turn on Haskins if he struggled this year?

It is absolutely true, we have no plan beyond "fire Gruden if he gets off to a bad start."

What is Dan and Bruce's plan, beyond making Gruden the scapegoat for all the team failures?

Next offseason they will hire another HC, most likely from a weak group of candidates because no sane man will want to work for Dan and Bruce.

I think most reasonable fans understand a rookie QB is going to struggle especially on a bad team.

The organization is at the bottom of the league and it doesn't look good anytime soon. I hope we get a good coach that has control

I am all for starting him against the Jets. I could care how many turnovers he has. I just want to see improved footwork and learning how to protect himself better. I can't see the fans turning on him after what we have seen from Case and Colt. This team is headed for 1-15 with either of those two, so what do we have to lose?

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

I don't see how it can get any worse.

Who cares if the fans turn on him? If he's mentally weak then he's not franchise material anyway. But I highly doubt that. His make up seems to let things roll off his back and get on w/the next play. I don't see someone that's mentally weak at all.

Look at Daniel Jones? He sure has cooled off. But at least the Giants are all in. And they benched a 2 time SB winner, yet we won't bench Keenum. What a joke.

The Giants aren't lying to themselves like the Skins are. That's why they are all in with DJ.

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.

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.

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