The Haskins Threat 2.0

He is an excellent Quarterback. People seem to forget he beat out Joe Burrow fair and square in 2018 to earn the starting QB position at OSU. And his 2018 stats dwarfed Burrows' numbers that year.

I don't think any Redskin fan wants to see Haskins fail, they just aren't sold on him yet.

Exactly, why would any of us really root against him? We were excited about the pick last yr, but of course nobody is sold and it partially is due to the previous reports out him not being ready

I don’t want him to fail .. I would love to see him light it up! If we did not have the 2cnd pick in draft it would be a moot point however when you have that pick you have to make it count . If you believe Haskins is the franchise QB then I guess we don’t need to look at that position .. but what if he fails and actually gets beat out by Allen as starter? We then screwed up big time .. The QB IS the most important position period end of story ..

Doesn't mean anything because Burrow obviously got a lot better. Burrow hadn't fully developed as he was a basketball player in high school. Urban Meyer had mentioned this in an interview.

But I'm rooting for Haskins big time. But he seems to be a little thin skinned and cares what people think about him. Can't be that way if you want to be a great QB. Dude needs to stay off Twitter.

Yeah I agree about the social media stuff, he seems to be on it way more than most skins players. He's always posting subliminal messages.. I hope he grows and becomes our franchise guy as well.. He's only had half a season and it wasn't a fair shot.. My only worry is these former skins players coming out and saying he will throw a fit if there is competition.

Football is all about competition.The NFL is the closest thing we have to a meritocracy in this country. He isn't entitled to anything. It is earned each and every time he steps on the field. That is simply the way it is for every NFL player as it is for most of the rest of us in our society.

If he can't accept that and deal with it, then he simply needs to grow the f*** up. I trust that he has some people in his life who care enough about him to tell him exactly that - as I told my kids. But I think he can and will deal with it and become a solid NFL starter.

Haven't even read the article myself yet. Assuming it starts with he's obviously way more talented. There's a reason why one guy was 1/15 vs. UDFA.

Allen is a great backup. That's what he will be for us.

I think all Dwayne Haskins need is time. Judging him right now is like judging a baber's ability to cut hair two minutes into him giving a guy a cut. We have to wait until he's done in order to see how it's going to look. Right now Dwayne Haskins is raw. He didn't play a lot of football in college. He had one amazing season and probably should have went back for another season to get more games under his belt. In a few years he's going to be a very good qb in this league. All he needs is game experience and a coach who's willing to go through the growing pains with him. I believe he's going to get better and better every single game.

Let me say this. Every politician, athlete, celebrity cares about what people think. It is impossible not too. Do you think qbs like Tom Brady, Aaron Rogers, Drew Brees don't care about what people think about them? I can insure you that they do. If Haskins feel some type of way its because all he has received from this organization and media is hatred and negativity. I don't think most qbs can withstand the beating this kid has been taking by the media and our idiot fanbase. Plus Ron Rivera seems to create a negative headlines about Haskins every time he opens his mouth. I'm rooting for Haskins and I hope he does well whether its here or someone else.

WTF does social media have to do with anything? Does that have anything to do with his work ethic or commitment to his craft? If he's not being negative it doesn't make a difference.

Yeah, take Tua with the Number 2 pick and when he breaks like a China doll after a few big NFL hits ( and with our offensive line, those hits ARE coming), then see where you are. What a stupid idea, take an injury prone QB witht he Number 2 pick when you already have a QB from your use of your first round pick last year. Thank goodness you are not in our front office.

To be fair he's only had 1 season of injuries and that was this yr. I think hes as good as Burrow or better but we need so much that drafting tua won't help. I'd be happy with chase but I'd be thrilled with more picks. We aren't competing this year, let's all face it so stock up picks and build

He got hurt last year also with his other ankle and had surgery on his hand, and then this year blew his hip out on a hit that wasn't even hard.

He's 100% cleared per reports, not saying he's Iron Man now but still..

As for the prospects, Haskins was great in college too so until these guys lace it up in the league it's all irrelevant.. Tua is the better QB but there have been plenty of college studs that fail...
