He needed to go somewhere with a disciplinarian. Getting handpicked by the owner as the savior did nothing good for his ego. Pittsburgh probably would be a good place for him.

If I am a team with a veteran QB nearing the end (cough Tampa Bay/Pittsburgh cough) I take a flier on Haskins and see if I can't get him to straighten out. This kid goes from beating out Joe Burrow and finishing third in the Heisman race, to a team where the coaching staff wanted nothing to do with him, and then in his second off-season having it be disrupted by a global pandemic while trying to learn a new staff and system. Mind you, counting interim coaches, Haskins has now had five coaches in the span of two years, and went through three offensive systems, three offensive coordinators, and three QB coaches, and of course, drafted to the standard-bearer franchise for dysfunction. If I've got that veteran QB, I absolutely take a mid-draft flier on trying to figure out Haskins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure Rivera and Turner benched him to oblivion last season....unless I read that wrong I don’t know if Samuel was benched in Carolina last year but he ended the season with 54 recs, 627 yds & 6 TDs so, it seems to me he played a pivotal role in their offense last year and I’m sure they’d love to add him.

A combination of sitting under Roethlisberger (a QB he probably could be compared to) as well as being coached/tough-loved by Tomlin could do him wonders. Or drum him out of the league. Tampa ... not as sure of that being a fit there. Not sure Arians is the right coach for what Haskins needs. It could still work (they've got the pieces around there), but that would be a riskier play. A dark horse option: New Orleans. Yes they have Taysom Hill, but he's also 32-33.

I guess Tampa could sign him and make him their 3rd QB behind Brady & Gabbert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKnight82 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I would say a dark horse team would be the Lions after they sign Urban Meyer as Head Coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taylor made Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I think Haskins most realistic options are the St. Louis Battlehawks or the Montreal Alouettes. He just got embarassed by an XFL player and played one of the worst games of his life today 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobbs is a free agent in a month-plus time (as well as being inactive today). So I don't think he really qualifies much for the equation. Rudolph is only under contract for one more year.
