Thread: Dwayne Haskins demoted to practice squad.

I never understood why Haskins rose so high on the draft boards. When I watched his Ohio State games he looked average at best. His accuracy didn’t wow me and he wasn’t very mobile either. He wasn’t terrible by any means but he sure didn’t look like a guy who would light the world on fire in the NFL.

He was selected in the 1st round because Snyder wanted a local kid that he thought ability to be Washington Face of Franchise. It wasn't because of football but marketing...

Yea, he aint that good and neither was Lamar and some of his weaknesses are glaring again this year in terms of his accuracy. But, when it comes to the NFL you can have the most average QB rated pretty high because there just isnt anyone else to compete for that particular position. Lets look at Lynch for instance, he really wasnt supposed to be that high of a prospect and the fact that he was rated so high just shows how weak the QB pool was. This happens every year though where really only 1-2 QBs are worth the actual first couple of round grades.

that doesn't mean i want haskins, either-- he looks like byron leftwich without the guts and leadership. . .

The overarching point I’m making is how quickly we give up on talented players and how in denial we are with scrubs. What I’m saying about Rypien is a prediction ... from experience ... acquired by living through it before.

Wait til Lock has 3 Int’s with two more dropped Int’s in a single game, win or lose and against any team, good or bad ... nobody will be talking about how “impressed” they are.

I dont think anyone would be impressed with even Elway having a 3 Int game. Lol

I get your overall point but lets not forget that Lock isnt a "given" in terms of being the future. For all we know he might be just as bad as Rypien when it comes to having a career. Finding a great/HOF QB is very difficult no matter where they were drafted or picked up.

Talent. Same thing would happen this year if Ohio St doesn’t play a season, Justin Fields will have played one season and will be in the conversation for the 1st QB taken.

Haskins has that kind of talent, the kind of talent his replacement will never have.

Yeah that is omnipresent for me, it gets ugly if he’s not the QBotF. Dude has all the talent you could ask for, which is why we’ll start screaming for Rypien before long.

Elway threw 3 or more picks 17 times during regular season games https://www.pro-football-reference.c...aJo00/gamelog/, and 1 time during a SB https://www.pro-football-reference.c.../gamelog/post/

Im aware. No one was happy about it that is for sure.

I'm not happy either, but having watched Elway's trainwreck of a rookie season as it happened, I'm literally the last 1 on this site to send anyone to the guillotine.

Let’s be very clear, Elway’s first year did happen. But, Elway was the greatest prospect to ever come out of college at that point, and he arguably still is.

Haskins is not in that league. He’s not even close. He does not have that talent.

I know this thread is about Haskins, but the post I was responding to was about Rypien. As someone whose most likely to be a career backup, he doesn't have to be Elway, he just needs to be good enough to keep the boat afloat when called upon during emergencies.
