Bigmuss1 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 My only hope that I’m sticking to is that hopefully Haskins will practice all week and game plan with the ones.....I gotta have hope for something this year! Let’s hope this week will be a true look at what they drafted in the first round..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the same value as preseason highlights... Dude has an arm. He just can’t do it against an NFL defense. Preseason isn’t NFL defense. He so far has a 20% interception percentage against NFL defenses who have not even schemed against him specifically. I admit I was disappointed, that one of his worst throws and interceptions, was a target to a guy that he's supposed to have built-in chemistry with, and who DH claimed always knew where he was going to be at all times.

I don’t think the issue an inability to locate McLauren, he just drops the arm & the ball gets away at times. Rep issue, not recognition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedskins 21 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 We all knew Gruden was a goner. Too bad we didn't wait a year to draft the right QB. Could have truly built up the defense; had Brian Burns in our sights. Now we are stuck with Haskins and Sweat for the next several years, due to their draft status.

RandyHolt Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Any stragglers still think its far too risky to play Haskins at all this year? I have a theory. That being stuck on the sidelines and all the behinds the scene stuff are more detrimental to him than anything that can happen on the field. Resentment grows, from not playing him despite full blown futility within our organization from top to bottom, for all to see. Yes dare I think that him knowing he has no chance of starting a game this year, and the daunting task of likely being forced to learn an entire new playbook and new Shakespearean verbiage next spring has him left wondering, why bother. I am only 22 I can wait out this **** show. Yeah it's his job Dad, but it's also his choice. The first thing he saw was our team captain boycotting the team and not even for money. He is probably bucking for a trade what with the complaints about him looking disinterested etc., only Bruce is too dumb to trade anyone even if it's best he should.

Warhead36 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 What exactly is the risk? We're 1 and freaking 7. Play him. do what you gotta do, simplify the playbook, etc. etc. But play him. If he sucks then fine, he sucks, we move on and get another QB next Spring in a more loaded class. But lets see what he can do with an actual week of practice prep and a gameplan tailored around his strengths. This notion that he's completely lost is just stupid to me. You got 6th rounders/UDFA rookie types coming in and playing. Hell Josh Johnson came in last year after sitting on the couch for 3 years and looked competent. The fact that we can't at least get Haskins ready to play at a barebones level is more of an indictment on our coaching than anything else.

skins4ever28 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 We all really need to take a deep breath, I actually think Haskins isn't that bad right now. Everyone thought Daniel Jones was trash for 4 weeks then he lit it up this weekend, everyone has an opinion that will change on a day to day basis. IF Haskins comes in and throws for 4 tds next week, hell be the savior, but then the very next week he throws 4 picks, hes trash. Way too small of sample size guys, just wait and see jesus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he is "good," we had a chance at potential greatness. 1st round picks that turn out good.... meh. Although that would be a trend in the right direction for this team. Kerrigan is the only good first rounder I can think of that wasn't a top 5 pick. Even Brandon has regressed, though, and Trent doesn't work here anymore lol.

A lot of times it is situational. Remember how ineffective Trent Murphy looked when we first signed him? It wasn't until the coaches decided to primarily use him on 3rd downs as a pass rusher, that he became a contributor. How about Erik Flowers? I am sure the Giants see what he is doing now, and wonder if maybe moving him over as a last ditch effort would have paid off. There are times when a player is drafted to do one thing and it doesn't work out, but they still have value doing something else. That is up to the coaches to find a role for players. With the QB position it is a little different, you can either play QB or not, you aren't going to go become a WR....Pryor did for a season but that experiment fizzled quick. Some players will end up as busts, it sucks, but there is nothing you can do about it. Other players though, develop slower, or need to be worked with and moved around on the NFL level to see where they ultimately can used most effectively. A lot of times that won't happen on the team they are drafted by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way too small of sample size guys, just wait and see jesus I will be happy if he proves me wrong. But he won't. The Skins saying he isn't ready is ridiculous. It's to save face on the wasted draft capital. That way we go into the offseason with one less item on the grocery list.

A lot of times that won't happen on the team they are drafted by. The problem is Sweat has never shown any moves or lateral quickness. This is why most teams passed on him. The Skins were the only fools to reach on both Haskins and Sweat. Two major "projects." The thing is you can't teach what Sweat lacks, imo. He is the DE athlete version of RGiii. Straight line timed speed is not the same as fluid explosion. I was hoping he would atleast reah Orakpo's impact, with a much more talented interior to draw attention, but he has been a literal 0 impact on the field. He's a passenger, and a wasted pick.

But lets see what he can do with an actual week of practice prep and a gameplan tailored around his strengths. This is exactly where I'm at. Make the switch. Give him the proper preparation that any other starter would get. If he chooses to be lazy in his prep (studying playbook and slacking on film room work allegedly?!?!) then that is on him and it will show on the field over the course of the season. What there is no use for is the current situation where Callahan doesn't want to make him a starter because he is holding out hope that a QB like Case (or Colt) can go out there and "show the world the team isn't as bad as they have shown" when it really doesn't matter anymore for 2019. What we need now is to find out what Haskins has/doesn't have to offer and have it definitive by the end of the season. No one is arguing that Haskins will start games and within a couple games suddenly he has morphed into a pro bowl QB, but it is imperative that the front office and coaches get on the same page about him well ahead of the 2020 draft, one in which they are going to very likely have a very high 1st round pick, one in which there could be some QBs sitting at.

This is now just a bunch of armchair QBs huffing and puffing claiming they know football and scouting more than those in the NFL. Meanwhile on Monday morning you go to your boring job and wait for Friday. At the end of the day all you have is a delusion that you’re more connected to football than anyone else. Congrats! You win... nothing! Well if we all stuck to only posting on the areas we are professionally competent to comment on the Stadium would be much much more quiet than it already is. That said I do think it worth remembering that our collective opinions on the Redskins and football in general, plus $5, will get you a caramel latte at Starbucks.
