I wouldn't get caught up in that kind of stuff.

There could be a million reasons why tOSU went with Haskins over Burrow.

It's clear as day Burrow is a better NFL fit then Haskins.. Haskins may be good but Burrow has developed and is just a way better prospect.

I'm guessing that Haskins was probably a bigger highschool recruit and that factored into tOSU's decision.
Yeah, just doing pros and cons. He is Ohio kid playing at Ohio State. Lots of pressure to succeed. He was unbelievable last year for LSU.

Based on what?

Intangibles? Check

Ability to read defenses and throw accurately? Check

Athleticism to go along with all of that? Check

Production in the SEC? Check



If I want to knock the guy my only concerns would be..

  • He doesn't have the biggest arm (not that it's weak it's just about like Burrows)
  • He played in an optimal environment
  • He's 6'1 (but QB's shorter then him have been doing ok)
  • He's gotten a couple of injuries

I see Steve Young ceiling / Russell Wilson / More athletic Drew Brees

Tua is just a natural for the position and if he goes to a team that can protect him he will hit the ground running and not look back once he is healthy.
He's small, he's not built like Russell Wilson, he's injury prone, his arm isn't strong, he's been throwing to guys wide open at Alabama, he doesn't really move around as well as most "mobile" guys, and against really good teams, he's had some struggles.

He's more like Jeff Garcia than Russell Wilson.

yeah, no chance and I wouldn't want to trade up. he is one of those riskiest picks. boom or bust. he maybe a great college QB, but does it translate to NFL? I am not so sure that it does. but perhaps, in 4 or 5 years he maybe a FA and may get his wish, if he turns out to be a decent QB. at that time we maybe in the market for a new QB.

everybody wants to play for the cowboys but they just do not seem to end up a cowboy. he will either be a dolphin or charger. I do not see the cowboys trading up or drafting a qb. the jones think that dak is there guy and are willing to throw stupid money at him to prove it.

But if you are CIN or MIA or LAC and need a QB, they really have to take one to keep their fans happy. It's one thing to not improve, something else not to even try. That's why DEN fans don't get down on Elway, it's not like he isn't trying to get a QB.

CIN would catch a lot of heat if they don't take Burrow.
Trying to bathe in a mud puddle never works.

Geez....look at his answer. He said what team would I choose if it was based on my fav as a child.....duh. That’s a far cry from saying I want to be drafted by the Cowboys in a few weeks.

I couldn't object if he dropped to an affordable level and it didn't take much to bring him into the fold. :dance:

Barring such a development, a promising defensive player is infinitely more likely to be our first pick.:thumbup:
Could be WR

Love is moving up the list pretty fast. He might be available.

Could be WR

Or a TE, S, LB or CB, for that matter. It's not like a QB is the only consideration, in other words.

True enough. We have enough needs that wasting extra picks on one guy can just be a waste.

yea yea they always want to play for us....Von miller wanted to play for us...Myles Garrett wanted to play for us....Just like them, they'll be long gone before we get the chance

Damn that Rams game we won would have been easier to go from pick 10 to pick 3 than pick 17 to pick 3
