Stick to making bad jokes. I don't come over and tell you how to make mac n cheese..lay off...just my opinion..what does haskins getting reps have to do with the fan base wanting to stick it to the fo?

BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Going 0-5 should have been a blessing in disguise. Gave them a chance to get Haskins experience in low stakes games. But of course, nope, he’s “not ready” somehow sitting for 16 games is going to have him ready to hit the ground running in 2020 with minimal mistakes as he most likely starts the season against some combo of Dallas, Cleveland, Philly, Baltimore, and Pittsburgh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haskins getting reps against 3 top 5 defenses in a row with no help is throwing your rookie qb to the wolves. The likelihood that he performs well against those three teams is slim at the very best. He will get destroyed, we will lose, and half this fanbase will start with the "i-told-you-so's" about Haskins and Snyder, and Allen, etc. You cant possibly be oblivious to the nature of DC fans. One step into the Nats threads or Caps threads, teams that have been successful, is all you need to see how fast a DC fan can go from supportive to "I knew he ****ing sucked and the FO cant do anything right." And you want to throw him into that furnace right now? Why? What do we gain from that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if he has to play Dallas, Philly, or Cleveland’s defense week one in 2020, he should sit again?? and wtf do the fans have to do with anything? The FO never listens to the fans, otherwise Allen would be gone and Gruden would have been gone years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the FO listened to fans they would have traded a 1st for Josh Rosen in the offseason and cut Flowers before the start of the season. The only poor decision theyve made this year is not trading Trent Williams before Houston sent out a ransom for a lesser player in Tunsil. Gruden was getting replaced by Kevin at the end of this season regardless. He expedited his own exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodges played okay last night. If Haskins is mentally that unstable and soft then better to rid yourselves of him as fast as possible. I assume they feel he will throw 5 INT's a game or more? That sitting and holding a clipboard is tired rhetoric. You learn from playing. I apply to the Jordan era of how you do things, not LBJ from the 3-6 mafia.

Alex Smith - Broken Leg / Career-ender 2. Colt McCoy - Broken Leg 3. Josh Jackson - Broken Foot 4. Case Keenum - Foot Injury In fact lets look at the OL/TE lineup so far: 1. Jordan Reed - Concussion, hasnt played this season 2. Vernon Davis - Concussion, hasnt played for 2 weeks 3. Trent Williams - Hold Out 4. Brandon Sherff - missed 2 weeks 5. Chase Roulier - missed 2 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooper Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 How bad could Haskins look? I mean, has anyone watched Baker Mayfield this year? Winston this week? Goff at times? Let the kid play. Yes, he'll throw picks. Yes, he'll look lost a lot. Guess what? Lots of guys who are playing right now look that way. Most young QBs do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 The Steelers won a game on the road with a freaking rookie 3rd string QB. I don't want to hear "Haskins isn't ready." You're the coach, get him ready! Run a simplified offense. Streamline the playbook. Cater to his strengths. But the guy needs snaps in real game action after a week of real starter's practice. We're 1-5. The competitive portion of the season is over, especially with how brutal our schedule is this year(the only win I see is the Jets at home but they just beat the Cowboys with Darnold back). We need to see what we have in the kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, my view of Smith is well painted and I am bias. Trying to set my biases aside here and just being a thinking man...

oraphus Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 When i see 6th, 7th rd and undrafted QBs come in and play at an above average level while the 15th overall pick cant get on the field because "he is not ready" says to me one thing. This owner & GM once again screwed the pooch by vastly overdrafting an inferior player. To put it simply... if a QB is a project and not ready to start in year one in todays NFL, he does not belong in the first two rounds of the draft... much like any other position. I dont know if Haskins will ever amount to anything.. but its not a good look this early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I don't have a good feeling about him. When I see other young developing QB's on the sideline, they're paying attention to the game and learning. But every time I see him, he's socializing or laughing.

PigskinRedskin Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I'm in on letting him play. The true expectations of the season is what, 1 more win, possibly 2? Clearly, it's done for, might as well see what you have before entering the off-season. The biggest issue it seems is possible injury, which I totally understand, but that can happen at anytime on any play with any line. Sure, chances are greater with our current line but that's why, as I think someone mentioned, design quick plays. Roll him out and have Thompson ready in the flat, hell, bring in Anderson as FB and just have him block the rush for an added second of time. It just seems like with our current staff and the likeliness that we have will have a new HC who may install a new system, then you're back at 0 and he has to learn again. I say, start him, design quick shots, utilize Peterson and Thompson, bring an extra blocker (be it Anderson, a TE) and lets see what Haskins can do.

kwitt Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 One thing is becoming crystal clear. We overdraft him by about 7 rounds or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
