How Many Games Should We Test Haskins?

10.

All this talk about pulling the plug is ridiculous.

I hear but there at this point isn't much to get excited about; so I understand folk's frustrations.

so much for all the social media workouts..

Well there's no question he's in much better shape this year. He definitely would have benefited from a true offseason of OTA's.

I know 1 thing proven true...Logan Thomas is a nice number 2 TE. Gotta address TE sometime folks. Going on 3 years of very little talent on the field at TE
Absolutely ridiculous

You can also ask what is the rush to start Haskins when he is clearly not ready. Haskins issues are not a simple adjustment. In the heat of the game he forgets how to drop back and set up to throw. The most basic thing for a QB. He cannot walk and chew gum at the same time.

I know im preaching to the choir, but it was really frustrating watching him throw while running and hopping this week. Not setting up and planting at all. Hes relying on his arm strength, probably because that was his game in college. Too many times it looked like he had time, but did a little roll out and threw off balance.

He's not going to get better on the sidelines. He's never lacked confidence or shown the game is too big for him, let him play through his struggles just like plenty of other QBs have done.

We can disagree. I think the practice field is exactly where they need to deconstruct his fundamentals and rebuild them correctly. Not getting pummeled on the field.
He has to commit the footwork/dropbacks to muscle memory so he doesn't have think about it. Then work on game strategy. Learn to walk before running.

That's offseason work. He would get little to no snaps in practice right now if he wasn't the starter.

Being the scout team QB. Staying after or before practice with QB coach. Doing it until it is burned in his brain. Bad habits like this take time get fid of. Repetition. Then doing it in games.
When he proves he do it in a panic game situation and not get happy feet, he is ready to start again. IMO

This never happens with most NFL teams and rookie/young QBs are thrown to the fire.

Rebuilding is ugly and people need to get used to it. People think that Ron is keeping Haskins in because Snyder is making him do it. But the reason he's keeping DH in is because Snyder has given him space and time to rebuild, and he's not under pressure to win right away.

It is very likely that the team will have a new QB next season. But whoever that new QB will be, will likely have a better team around them, thanks to this rebuilding year.

I don't know about the QB part but I agree with the bold part.

Here's 's what Ron Rivera had to say about a possible QB change in an interview with JP Finlay:

JP asked if the Week 8 bye might be the natural time to make a change at QB, if it becomes necessary.

RR replied: "To be honest with you, as you look at what’s happening in our division, I don’t want that to be too late. We're in first place at 1-2, tied with Dallas. We have one team that’s 0-2-1 and another team that’s 0-3. We have to look where we are right now and say, ‘Gosh, we might be in position. That's something you have to think about as well. It will play into [the quarterback decision], trust me. I went through this in 2014."

JP also asked RR about weighing Haskins' development against the possibility of winning a weak division.

RR replied: "I have to look at that and be honest. I like a lot of the things I have seen, but there are some things that truly concern me, growth being the biggest one."

Basically the writing is on the wall

Did JP ask him about not using his timeouts? Because he sure isn't coaching like he's interested in trying to win a weak division.
