Really hope they handle Haskins like KC handled MaHomes.

Don't throw him out there. Let him learn a year with Alex and Colt right by his side.

I don't think this FO will tolerate that kind of patience.

Everyone also thought we were going to bet the farm and move up to the top 5 to get him and that didn’t happen. Have some Faith. My thinking is they roll Keenum out to start the year as he has starting experience. If they don’t cut Alex he will be a good sideline mentor. Best scenario, Haskins starts next year. Less exciting scenario, Keenum struggles and Haskins starts by week 6 or 8. Worst case scenario, “Haskins wins the starting job” week 1.

I agree. I think Jay earned the right to tell to front office who to start when he started Cousins over RG3.

Look, another report Colt had a setback in his recovery...I would move on from Colt and set the QB room with Alex Smith, Haskins and Keenam. Id attach Smith at the hip of Haskins with the plan of giving Keenam the first opportunity at the job. Then let the competition begin...let Jay make the call right before season, but we shouldn't rush it.

Re: Dwayne Haskins
 

Look, if he was a lock, he wouldn't have been there at 15. Going in, all the hype was "Danny is going to trade the farm to get into the top 5". That didn't happen. We got a talent with serious potential without trading picks. Will he be the savior? Who the fuck knows? But not giving him a shot when he was sitting there at 15 would have been a serious mistake, IMO. It's cost/benefit: worth the shot, given what we need. Plus, they got Sweat, so how ever fucked up the front office is supposed to be (and this makes great click-bait at draft time), they did what you'd pretty much want them to do: fill the holes as best they can in the draft. Not the sexy narrative of "Crazy Danny is Back!", but decent FO moves.

Time, as always, will tell. There are no gimmes.

This is the smart play. I wasn't a fan of the pick but obviously we all want him to succeed. I think if they throw Haskins out there this year with this WR corps it would be like throwing him to the wolves. Letting him sit for a year and shadow Smith while we get some help on the WR corps would be a really smart move.

I just worry with Gruden's job on the line he'll feel pressured to start Haskins before he's ready.

Re: Dwayne Haskins
 

If he earns the job he'll start. If not, sitting for a while won't hurt.

Re: Dwayne Haskins
 

How many QB's have thrown for 50td's and 4,800 yards in college? How many have done that in the Big Ten? I mean this kid put up some jaw dropping numbers against good competition. He did it against the best defenses in the country. He changed protections, he sees the field pretty well. This isn't Oklahoma's conference.

If he turns out to be a bust I can't slam the front office for this one. The value at 15 simply could not be turned down.

this is exactly how i feel . . . i would have preferred trading for rosen, grabbing burns at 15 and still having next years 2nd round pick . . . but i'm happy they didn't trade up for Haskins . . . and that Sweat fell to a place we could grab him, even it if cost us next years 2nd round . . . we'll see i guess

Klingler was at Houston, a far cry from the Big 10

No kidding. I just answered a question.

[QUOTE=skinsfaninok;1222281]Look I know we all are doubters of the QB position but haskins is for real and he's hungry. He wasn't happy Dan Jones went ahead. I like the chip on his shoulder

Sweat had a chip too thinking he should have gone higher. Love it. That chip has served Aaron Rodgers pretty well over the years.

If stats had any meaning Haskins would have been the slam dunk #1 pick. Unfortunately they don’t, and 14 teams passed on him. Just the reality of it.
