It's not like what you said has been forgotten. Saying that he has a postiive TD:INT ratio simply because he has 12 TDs to 11 INTs like it is a good is an attempt to fool the stupid into believing an inference with no basis.
OK. First off i've tried to bow out on more than one occasion allowing differing opinions to remain that... but look.
It's not like what I've said has been forgotten? Are you keeping score on me now? What exactly are you remembering? Not once did I say his TD:INT ratio was something to be proud of, just that it was not on the level of "Grossman aggression." Grossman had 4 TDs : 6 INTs in his first 6 starts, just for reference..... I simply pointed out that his ratio is + (meaning >1:1, not that it's a good thing) in a situation that NOBODY would succeed in. Not once did I say that meant he was going to be a good QB at this level... just that the book had not been written, and I'm not willing to say he can't do it. I even said you might be right.
The whole point of his ratio was to contradict your notion that he has Grossman aggression... suggesting that he's careless with the ball, when in fact he's the opposite. He's been timid with his passing this year prior to the game vs Cleveland. In fact, he's had 2 games that have had multiple interceptions in his 12 appearances. His first career appearance when he was thrust into the game due to injury. It was no secret that Haskins to ZERO reps with the offensive unit last year when he wasn't starting. That's not a lack of reps with the first team, HE WAS LITERALLY NOT RUNNING THE PLAYS IN OUR PLAYBOOK. He was running scout team. So he walks into a game vs the Gians in his first career appearance without having practiced the playbook and throws 3 ints. OK... not a great game. His only other multi-int game was this past weekend vs Cleveland. A BAD GAME. Likely the worst of his career. Those two games account for 6 of his 10 INTs. Those are the EXCEPTION at this point in his career, not the rule
If you want to keep score, look back further than this conversation. I have been openly critical of his technique, and equally frustrated with his decision making. I also understand the situation we are in, and am willing a give credit where it is due. He's got one of the best arms currently in the NFL. That's not a joke. The ball comes out of his hand on a level that most NFL QBs cannot achieve. That's something that you cannot teach. There is very little room to develop someone's arm, it's either there, or it isn't... and he can spin it with the best of them. He has a very large hill to climb with a lot of things working against him. His technique is lacking. He tends to rely on his arm, throwing off his back foot even when unnecessary. He also plays a half second behind. I BELIEVE that is because the game is moving to fast for him RIGHT NOW. As he gets more reps, see's more things, and gets more comfortable I THINK this will change. That does not mean I'm calling my shot or stating that he's the next big thing.... simply observing what I think he needs to do to get better, because, well... I'd like the QB of my favorite team to be good.
So... AGAIN.. You're entitled to your opinion. I disagree with a lot of it. I might be wrong, and you might ultimately be right. I don't have a ton of confidence in Haskins at this moment, but I am willing to look at all the factors and would prefer he get a chance to prove us wrong. Haskins being successful is what's best for this organization going forward. Spending another first round pick on a QB limits what we can do elsewhere. The best thing for the team is for him to be a winner. I want him to be a winner. I'm willing to be patient and give him a chance to do that in a season when it's highly unlikely we are successful regardless of who is at QB. Does Allen buy us a 1 or 2 wins? Maybe... Me? I'd rather KNOW Haskins isn't the guy come January and make the determination to move on and be comfortable with it. Ya know, instead of going into an offseason with QB controversies and the ever popular argument about how maybe that guy didn't actually get enough of a chance to prove it (Ahem... Kirk Cousins vs RG3 vs Colt McCoy).
