It is not about bust or not.
Even before the draft I did not think Haskins was a franchise QB ready to be a high draft pick,much less ready to play in the NFL. Physically he is talented. Preparation and fundamentals he is at least a year or two away.
It is not that it take so long to learn. It takes a long time to break bad habits that he has developed over the course of his entire plying career because he was always one of the best players on his high school and college field. Now in NFL he is not the best and his bad footwork and undisciplined play is magnified. It’s a lot like trying to change your golf swing you have had your entire life or learning to write with your left hand. It does not happen after one training camp. Sometimes (see RGIii) it never happens.
It is so easy for a top athlete QB in high school and college to be exceptional and not learn the fundamentals. This is what we have.
