WFT Releases QB Haskins

[Hennessy_King]

Ok, take his word for it. Does it make it any better? We know in addition to this he has missed plays in a game while taking selfies with fans, he has bragged about stats while his team is losing, he played like crap, had the stripper incident. How much is enough? And the idea that his coaches didn't like him....well, they did start him...so they couldnt have hated him that badly. They only replaced him when they absolutely had to .

He missed the last play of the game where he was going to take a knee

 

[Hennessy_King]

I agree with you to a point....we don't have a backup signed for next year...although I expect they may try to resign Gilbert on the cheap. But the evidence suggests that Haskins isn't the RKG...he certainly isn't a team first guy.

RKG's don't win in the clutch. As we saw with 10 years of RKGs

Ohio State qb's never work out, think about it

So, in other words, he can’t handle adversity. Would’ve been better to gave taken the challenge to prove the coach wrong and change his mind. But he apparently chose not to do that. By the way, he let his teammates down and it is a TEAM game.

He's 23 years old. He definitely should have handled it like a mature adult but at 23 with a $14m contract that's asking a lot.

So, what i'm hearing is he was not receptive to learning at this level. He does have a good arm.

Does it make a difference? His job is to be on the field. Not socializing before the game is over. By itself, is it a huge issue? No...but when similar events pile up, then it is an issue.

Tom Brady is a RKG. Russell Wilson is a RKG. Patrick Mahomes and Drew Brees seem to be RKG.

who refers to them as rkgs?

ha! wow....guess that means smith is going to play

Yep I was afraid of that. He is a pretty good qb when healthy. I think he is going to carve up the Eagles secondary especially of Fletcher Cox can't go and get pressure on him.

Many will not want to hear this but if you watch his OSU film, you see a kid who throws to easy targets. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say they weren't good or accurate or anything else. I'm saying that if you go to play QB at a school like OSU, you aren't really forced to develop certain skills. You are, more times then not, throwing to the very best WR talent, being protected by the best OL talent, being supported by the best running game and probably playing with a lead because you have the best Defensive talent in the country, most times, rather then playing from behind and that talent goes three deep. You don't learn to throw into tight windows or make quick reads. You get away with mistakes you wouldn't be able to if you played at a school who wasn't as talented.

You kinda see the same thing at Alabama. That's my take on it.

I have been saying the same thing on Tua before the draft. Tua is Haskins without the baggage and with a little better arm.

I do think the current AL QB Mac Jones might be pretty good even though he is surrounded by an abundance of talent at AL. Seems like a high floor-low ceiling player. Bus driver type of QB. Maybe a Vinny Testeverde type of QB. Same with FL Trask. Both Jones and Trask are QBs Parcells could win with in my opinion.

He took a picture with a fan. it was no big deal tbh.

I got blasted all off season when I said hurts is a better player than Tua

Live in the DC area......let's just say he has blown the bridge up a few times. Rivera and WFT had no choice. RG3 looks like a choir boy compared to the Haskin antics, that might be attributed to pure immaturity and anointing as a Captain. Self-inflicted.

Rivera never was even a consideration here, if Jerry has learned one thing while owning the Dallas Cowboys its that coaches of Riveras ilk can never exist here.
Puppets only, and the desperate,, we are actually quite lucky that MM and his staff were welcomed.
Thats about as close to the line as Jerry is willing to walk.

They are committed professionals. You don't see them getting in trouble. They are team leaders. That pretty much is what a RKG is.

 

[JustChip]

great post. So you are saying his final 4 games of the season last year weren't good?

No. I’m addressing your assertion that Rivera mistreated poor Little Dewayne. Maybe he did, but Dewayne is responsible for how he handles the adversity and he failed, both himself and his teammates. Rivera had seen close-up how another much more skilled and capable QB handled adversity. That’s critical for QBs and relief pitchers (or all pitchers for that matter).

I generally align with your posts, but not this one.

So like Dak

It played a part in him getting shitcanned, so to some people it was a big deal.

Sure, Dak is a RKG.

It's no assertion Rivera totally mistreated him. The poor kid was gaslit and didn't know how to handle it. Rivera was openly saying he was going to lose his job eventually. Granted he should have proved rivera wrong but he's a 23 year old kid.

He's 23 years old. He definitely should have handled it like a mature adult but at 23 with a $14m contract that's asking a lot.

There’s truth in that. The question becomes whether he will learn from this, or whether he sulks and blames/deflects. It’s what every one of us has had to learn at some point in our lives. Some early, some late.
