The Haskins Threat

[Buffalo Bob]

As much as I am not impressed with Haskins so far I believe he needs to spend an off season working on fundamentals with a QB coach before you can honestly assess his long term viability. Some consistent good techniques should improve his accuracy. I would not use a high pick on a QB, especially Tua. I would be concerned about the injury he sustained for someone his age. Could be some genetic condition contributed to it.

And also unless i am mistaken, they won't know until well into Tua's recovery whether or not he will suffer the same condition that Bo Jackson developed that led to his NFL retirement. I am referring to Avascular Necrosis. Will make it tough for NFL teams to decide whether or not to gamble a high pick. Is there anything in the draft rules that would give something back to the team that drafted Tua if he ends up not being able to play at all?

Bo Jackson, that was some athlete. I can't believe it was over 30 years ago when he ran over Bosworth on Monday Night Football.
