KOTN-93 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) The struggle with commanding the huddle and issues with the mental part of the game. Haskins could barely line up the offense sometimes against the Vikings. If I remember correctly Akili like Haskins physically unquestionginly had it but just couldnt handle it mentally. (I was pretty young when Akili played so its foggy) Am I way off on this? Edited October 31, 2019 by KOTN-93 Broke up for easier reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slateman Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I don't know that we can draw that conclusion just yet. Haskins is very raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanS Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I don't like the direction of this thread. Haskins and Akili Smith aren't the only QBs to struggle in their transition to the NFL so why compare them? Also why is this just about their mental acumen for the position? I didn't like Haskins as a prospect coming out. I thought he would be a bust. However, it was not because of his intelligence. I just thought he was slow, unathletic, had a sloppy body, and mediocre arm. He was PHYSICALLY limited not mentally. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 To people asking these sort of questions after roughly 20 minutes worth of football from Haskins, I have one question: What exactly were you expecting? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too soon to declare bust be he certainly isn't trending in the right direction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which Haskins hasn’t shown at all. This is the same guy where most of this thread declared “QB1”(no clue why), yet he looks much worse than Kyler, Minshew, & Jones.

It isn't 2002 anymore. Great, playing pretty well as a rookie isn't indicative of future success. Furthermore, I think it's even more ridiculous that the sample sizing is a half against the Giants and a half against the Vikings in a primetime game, short week, coming in as a the backup, against a good-great defense. The Vikings are top 5 in points and total yards. The Giants game? Yeah that was bad. Edited October 31, 2019 by JoshstraDaymus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
