redskins59 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Even though the numbers weren't there, a rational person could easily see his improvement even last week or the week before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Today's game is a great example of what it means for a physically gifted, but inexperienced QB to be in the middle of development. Haskins has the best game of his young career. Looked in command of the offense, played with urgency and confidence. He also missed some gimmes out there. It needs to be accepted that Haskins good or bad, is simply inexperienced. He isn't going to magically turn into a great QB in a month or two. It will take time. Today he showed signs of growth but also that he still has a ton to learn and improve in his game. I think it is also fair to wonder how different Haskins's stats and overall game is viewed has Sims not dropped the dime dropped into his chest over the top and had he converted the 1st down the way an NFL WR should have. Those two bad plays by Sims made a huge difference in a game that was so close. Considering his experience at the QB position, I don't think there is too much to be critical about as far as today's game goes. On a sidenote: I have no idea what Urban Meyer told Haskins during the week, but can Snyder hire him to hang around the stadium every week?

Negatives and positives both welcome but we could use a week without the obvious butt hurt and bias. Lets see what happens. Still a few minutes left and it looks like he may get the ball back with like a minute left. He’s growing is my point. Would he have played like this two weeks ago?

JSSkinz Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 That was a really promising game by Haskins today, the key is to maintain some consistency in the last 2 games but I like the way he is trending. I'm glad we didn't sit him all year, he's not being scarred for life or any of the other narratives you heard from around the league, he's getting better.

Warhead36 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Improvement. Still left plays out there, but improvement for sure. He plays a couple more bad Ds to end the year. Hope to see a 300/3 game at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 First game where I looked at his play and saw an NFL QB. Maybe second game, but definitely first actual good game. He made some great plays with his arms, legs, and head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTTRDynasty Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 What a coincidence. We start throwing the ball on 1st down and suddenly the QB looks much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggarriso Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Huge Haskins doubter as you all know, but that is the type of performance that I think one could hang their hat on as a promising rookie QB performance - some excellent throws peppered in with some questionable ones. Overall, color me surprised but I was impressed by DH today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was definitely worried playing him was going to ruin him. But I had no idea how bad he needed the experience. He was pretty bad on his first try out there. Seeing where he is today it’s obvious I was wrong about that. It was obvious I was wrong weeks ago though. 1 minute ago, ggarriso said: Huge Haskins doubter as you all know, but that is the type of performance that I think one could hang their hat on as a promising rookie QB performance - some excellent throws peppered in with some questionable ones.

AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Proud of Haskins and the team today. Played hard. I didn’t hate myself for watching the Panthers game. But I actually enjoyed watching the game today. First time all year. Let’s support Dwayne. Let’s give him room to grow on and off the field.

SoCalSkins Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 That was a hell of a game. His best by far. I really liked the read-option keeper too. Plus we kept our draft position. Pretty much great game, Besides McLaurin I’m not buying into any of the other receivers, so it’s even more impressive with no legit TE and 1 legit WR.

NickyJ Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 This is the first game I've seen him look like he's doing more than running the offense on rails. It's only one game, but with 2 more to go, I hope he shows more. If the defense or Sims had held, he'd even have a 3-3 record. I'd have never believed it after his Giants game.

Warhead36 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 In today's NFL that basically is an average game. But if Haskins is even league average by the end of this season, that'd be some real nice growth. Considering he was easily the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinny21 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Yeah, that’s a nice statement. Of course, I wouldn’t really care about it but for some of his past statements... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure winning makes a big difference on how he feels about the stats, but I like that he's more thoughtful of it all the same. Definitely comes off as a lot more teachable.

skins4ever28 Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 This game showed me more than anything that the play calling was really holding him back. Let him rip it out there. He’s got the talent and brain to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Haskins game today is very similar to the kind of games Dak Prescott would have his rookie year on the Cowboys and be praised all over the media for. The difference is that Cowboys team was better than the Redskins so these kind of performances were wins instead of losses. You can say the same about a QB like Jimmy G who has plenty of 200ish yard, 2 TD games, where he doesn't look spectacular but did enough to manage the game and allow the defense and running game to secure the win. We can't overlook the fact that this wasn't a playoff bound team prior to Haskins being named the starter. Yes, Haskins is the QB and will always hold a bigger responsibility for wins & losses which is par for the course, however performances like today are about all you can expect from a rookie QB on a bad team who is way more inexperienced than most of the other drafted QBs.

Let him rip it out there. He’s got the talent and brain to do it I think in general we just didn't commit to him. Imagine if from day one we said: "Haskins is our starter." Let him get all the starter reps from minicamp on. Develop a system surrounding his strengths. I'm not saying he'd be Lamar Jackson, but he'd probably be even further ahead right now. It takes a village to raise a QB. Unfortunately our village is mostly idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
profusion Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I'd say this performance puts an end to drafting a first round QB in the upcoming draft. Wouldn't surprise me if they get a guy in the lower rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't surprise me if they get a guy in the lower rounds. It certainly helps. I'd say Haskins has to continue to prove that he's trending upwards. Then again, with Tua being damaged goods and Burrows almost certainly going first, I think that makes the decision easier on the front office.

If the Skins somehow drafted first, it'd be hard to turn down Burrows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyholetsgogrant Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 The question for Haskins can is, can he adjust? Teams will look at film/analyze data and make adjustments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
