The Haskins Threat

"You want to look at it and be like, 'That's what I messed up on,' and move on from it. I don't mind watching it. I just prefer to watch something else."

Haskins' shoddy footwork remains an issue, as is his prosperity to walk into sacks, and he owns the lowest passer rating in the NFL among QBs with 150-plus attempts (70.2), but his big arm is NFL-caliber and as he gains rapport with receivers, the light has beginning to gradually fade on.

Perhaps Im being too nit picky with the young man but youve only started 6 games, this is your rookie year ... you havent proved anything. You are still that same player from 3 months ago. His thought that he has grown so much over 6 starts and doesnt have to study the film to learn from his mistakes is hubris and humorous to me. Hes placing himself ahead of where he really is on the learning curve. He shouldnt be running away from bad film but digesting it and breaking it down.

Seems like hed rather watch his good film and try and learn from that.

RG3 lite to me.

Idk, his first two games where he filled in he looked like a deer in the headlights. Up until last week he was taking multiple unnecessary sacks too. His only sack last week came on the last play of the game (which barring a miracle, was unlikely to work anyways). Not to mention, the first half of the game he was getting the ball out quick and being mostly accurate with his throws. So I kinda agree with him, the improvement between last week and his first two games has been very noticeable. How is harping on his first two starts going to help him become a better qb? His last 2-4 starts are going to be more accurate indicators of where his progression is, vs. his first two games.
