Its already speaking to the fact he was over drafted. 3. Game speed, how to run an offense, call plays, situational football....the more he knows, the better he gets. The biggest factor is this experience: RIGHT NOW it is ok to make mistakes with zilch to play for. Fuck, go out and throw 4 picks...its ok, we aren't winning the superbowl (don't let Bruce know, but we aint close).
There really isn't a negative at this point in the season.

We could be in a position to draft any qb not named Tua, however I'm much more interested in drafting the best stud football player available. If the next best guy behind Tua is some average first rounder we wouldn't even be having this conversation.
Yes, in today's NFL the trend is definitely towards rookie qb's starting, however that doesn't mean historically it trends well. Rodgers, Brady, Mahomes, and Brees. 3 out of 4 of those qb's sat for at least a season to start their careers. The 4th became a stud in his contract year for the Chargers, who let him go because they had already drafted his replacement (who also didn't start his rookie year and has since become a quality qb).
You're not gonna convince me that a qb has to start his rookie year so you can determine if he needs to be replaced next year. It takes qb's multiple years to learn. It's the hardest position to learn, bar none. Ya'll acting like because we didn't draft the next wunderkind we need to get rid of him. Let's just be honest here Chico, you've already made your opinion of him based on the fact he hasn't looked good while playing in limited action. Unless he starts and blows the fucking doors off this franchise sometime before the end of this season the majority of this fanbase is going to advocate moving on from him if there's a better prospect available in the draft.
We all played ourselves. Dan and Bruce played Gruden. Gruden played us. Forcing a lame-duck HC to draft a qb who has no chance of coming in his rookie year and contributing is a terrible fucking move, and Haskins career is stunted from the start. He's damaged goods now and if we move on next year we're gonna be forced to sell low on him because nobody is going to give up a good draft pick for a guy you have no faith in.
The cycle of mediocrity continues.
