The Haskins Threat

Give the kid a chance for Pete's sake. He was able to get away with poor mechanics and a few other things at OSU because of a strong arm and superior teammates. It does appear college coaches don't stress mechanics and techniques these days if players are good enough in other areas to compensate.
It blows my mind when I see guys get to the pros with poor techniques that you would not have seen back in the day.

I kind of look at Haskins as the kid who got straight A's in High School without studying thinking he could do the same in College. When he found out otherwise it took him a while to adapt. I think he will be ok. I base my opinion on he isn't showing the traits that a lot of high draft pick bust QBs have.
