Thinking Skins Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I hold out hope that this is a bad form of tough love from Rivera. We know what Urban Meyer said about Haskins needing to be challenged. Maybe this is something that's saying hey don't get too comfortable because you're always in a competition.

Dude had 17 surgeries on his leg and hasn’t taken a live snap in 2 years, enters a sloppy game with Wes Martin briefly standing between him and Aaron Donald. I don’t know if Wes was standing in between them. It almost seemed like he was standing more to the side of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why everyone is hoping to watch us to flush Trevor Lawrence's football career down the toilet too. If we get the #1 pick he needs to go back to Clemson.

I haven't studied to the QBs yet to have a definitive opinion like that on this draft class. I did notice on a podcast a dude who was a coach for both Haskins and Field -- just gushed about Fields in a way that he thought he would be a stud. That got my attention so I'll pay attention to him when Ohio State comes back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkMissoula Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 This horrendous division i think drove the decision to try to win instead of letting DH take his lumps this year, which is looking like a half-****ed strategy. We didn't have anything to lose really by giving Haskins the year to try and figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can’t understand the hypocrisy that leads us to believe QB growth needs to happen in a vacuum, and that weakness of surrounding talent is just a lame-ass excuse by Haskins fan-boys..

You don't motivate young players by sabotaging and scapegoating them. I think Occam's razor calls for the explanation that this was a really bad team that the new regime has somehow made worse, and they botched the handling of the QB position because they don't know what they're doing.

As I said in the draft thread, no matter how good of a QB Fields may otherwise be on another team in this league, he will bust if he is drafted here. We definitely need to go the FA QB route if we're not picking #1 overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carex Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 6 minutes ago, PartyPosse said: Alex was fine for 2018 when the defense was at least competent. He wasn’t gonna steal you any games but he wasn’t going to lose em for you either. I don’t like his game but his track record speaks for itself. He’s a 3500 yard 20 TD QB that doesn’t turn the ball over and maybe you’ll get another 200 on the ground. Is it frustrating that he doesn’t take chances? Sure. It’s downright annoying. But he’s made a career out of it and it says a lot when he hasn’t had a losing record in ten years. I HATE risk takers personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t believe this team is rife with talent. But I do believe Haskins misses what’s there way too often. Just too many head scratching plays.

redskins59 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Simply speaking, Terry Mclaurin was much more productive when Haskins was throwing the ball. They had some chemistry. The worst they did together was 61 yards this year. He can't be happy with today's result. He had 26 measly yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I think it's silly to assume the team can't handle a rookie QB because of the handling of Haskins. But they absolutely need to address the OL or the new guy is DOA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
