KDawg Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 As advertised, I'm not a Haskins guy. His immaturity has struck a nerve with me many times.. But if Rivera says Smith is starting next week, I'll be questioning Rivera as well. I don't believe he could possibly do that and think its a good idea. My order of preference: 1. Healthy Kyle Allen (Looked okay. Had some meh moments but his legs made him more effective) 2. Bought-in Dwayne Haskins (If he and the team in totality can be on the same page, his quick release helps with this poor line. Team has to buy in) 3. Steven Montez If Haskins can realize he handled things poorly and learned from it, and Rivera can see that his thought of Alex Smith turning the fortunes of the franchise around were... wrong... I'd be on board with seeing more of him. I was on board with giving him the season. If the reason for his benching was maturity based and he can come to a positive conclusion with Rivera, I'm fine with him getting back in. I don't think he will, so I think I'm wasting key strokes here... But like I said, I don't count anyone out on a human level...) I don't think a single guy on this roster is the future as the QB. But even if Haskins isn't the guy, a positive ending to the season for him increases his value at the very least. Or he may shock me and a lot of us and develop. I'm hoping a lesson was learned. I do think Allen earned more time, though. But I know this. The team can't start Smith. There is NO reason for it. He's the ONLY guy that isn't an evaluation guy. And should they go ahead and start him, it throws out their entire reasoning for cutting Adrian Peterson. Starting Smith is the worst possible result for Rivera.

It is simply polk at the hypocrisy of quick judgment. Because he finally had a good stat line all because of his teammates. He could have been benched on performances alone but they only made the move when he got a big head for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 1 minute ago, skinbuck said: So we benched a 300 yard, 71%, 6+ ypa passer for 70 yards passing, 3.7 ypa, 60% completion rate and 8 sacks because the 300 yard passer wasn’t ‘showing growth’ and gave up on a Mission Impossible style contrived 4th down? FOH.. ...who was apparently bragging about his 300 yard stats after the loss. Growth on the field isn't the only thing that counts. Plus Haskins has been missing wide open guys his entire career so far. He showed who he is today, even if he had a case of the trots it's not like he couldn't walk off the bench and go take a dump. Dude isn't any kind of a leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDawg Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 As a guy who generally has supported Rivera, I also don't know why he comments immediately after a game who his QB is. You'd think a guy with his experience would say, "I have an idea, but I have to look at film and consider every angle before I go throwing names out there. You media people are all over that kind of thing, and rightfully so, so I don't want to speak too quickly without really combing through everything".

He’s an average QB at best regardless of how young he is. OSU QBs will never do well at the next level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was that Burrow should absolutely look much, much better from game 1 than Haskins...what you did was give a list of reasons why he should look better lol.

And the assessment of Haskins with this team is far more nuanced than "Haskins Sucks". Please see this game as a partial reference). All that said, we may have very well seen the last of Haskins as a WFT player. His (unspoken but hinted) immaturity did him in. Hopefully he learns and grows from it.

The point is, QBs with 5 years of college experience are expected to come in and look much more polished than a raw but talented QB is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haskins wasn’t performing and the moment he started bragging was the death nail. We lost and weren’t even in the game and you are in locker room talking about your numbers which were because of others not your passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, but you just advocated for Kyle to start next week....and that's what Rivera said was going to happen. I'm confused. You're just unhappy with how he delivered the message?

goskins10 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Not sure (well yes I am) why you guys are arguing stats. It's clear Haskins was benched for disciplinary reasons. So arguing his numbers vs anyone, or on their own is pretty much irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The perception is that Ron seems to be sharing premature conclusions without the benefit of film review, and then having to explain his flip-flopping merely days later. so take some time, look at things carefully and give us one voice.
