NFL bust.
100% certain about it
100% certain about it
Dwayne Haskins...
- Thread starter SlipperyPete
- Start date
Haskins has the luxury of being part of an extremely weak draft class.
Strange second half for Ohio State in the Rose Bowl.
Only gained 15 yards in the fourth quarter after putting up 272 yards in the first half.

Haven't seen a team cover both halfs of a Rose Bowl very often in my life.

Remember Art Schlichter?
I grew up with the player who served as Schlichter's back-up, Mike Tomczak.
A Polish kid from Calumet City, Illinois.
Tomczak played about 15 seasons in the NFL and started his career 10-0 with the Bears.

How about ole Art as a guest if/when the EOG podcast returns?
Doubt he can make media appearances from federal prison.
He's halfway through an 11-year sentence for fraud and forgery.
Not good.
Schlichter is now 57 years old.

I remember when Art came to Las Vegas.
He hosted a sports talk show on KVEG and he would ask listeners to "light up the phones" after barking out the phone number as if he were still under center at Ohio State.
He started slow with the area code (702), then sped up with the prefix (262) and ended with the final four numbers in two parts (58) followed by a quarterback's pause and then punched the final part (34).
Funny guy but sick as it gets.

Almost Allright
GO Bucks!!!
Art got the bug hanging out at Scioto Downs and Buelah Park. Art couldn’t get rid of the bug.
So sad.
Seemed like a great guy.
Except, of course, when he asked me for a $1,000 "loan."

Hard to imagine getting addicted BECAUSE of Beulah Park, but I guess it takes all types.
If Beulah was the only game in town, I would've quit long ago.
Did he make Woody punch the defender on Clemson? I didn't think so. Woody was a bitter old asshole. Good riddance.
Sclichter was far more talented than Tomczak.
Not saying the NFL Draft is the end-all be-all, but Schlichter was the fourth overall pick in the 1982 draft while Tomczak went undrafted in 1985.

It is kind of amazing how much talent an elite program accumulates. Just because Tua is better does not mean Jalen Hurts is chopped liver, etc. I did get to see Schichter play the Gophers once at the old stadium. Not sure the 3 yards and a cloud of dust tactics fully prepared him for the pros? But, on the subject - how much blame falls on the locals who preyed on Schichter’s addiction? Maybe, someone here has read Busted?

Schichter was a good college qb but nothing special. Saw his first game vs. Penn State and there were turnovers galore. Art would have been at best an average nfl qb.

Third behind Allen and Smith.

He did not deserve to be benched at this time, Had a pretty decent game against the best D in the league in the Ravens.

Isn't he behind the Colorado kid, Montez?

Montez was waived over a month ago. He then was only signed to the practice squad shortly thereafter.

All Haskins needs is to put on weight & he will be the identical equivalent of Jamarcus Russell.
Certified bust.
Out of the 32 starting QB's,... Haskins is ranked dead last. He contributes -12.1 pts/game compared to an average QB.
Mullens, Driskel, Darnold,...to name a few, all ranked ahead of him.
Easy decision for Rivera.

Hard to believe, but can't argue with the evidence. What I saw at OSU against some really elite level pass defenses (for NCAA) was a guy who should be a dependable NFL starter. Not sure how much I put it on him and how much I put it on the piss poor Washington Not Really A Football Team organization.

Disagree quite a bit.
He wasnt very good. He was actually encouraged by the coaching staff to run more, to be more effective.
At Ohio State with all that talent, a slow QB was asked to run more, was THE red flag for me

Why would you ask him to run more? Kid has accuracy many players will never have, you can't teach that. He has zero confidence right now because he is on his ass every other play. Can blame him for not being mobile or quite pocket aware yet, but put him behind a decent line and I think you get a productive QB. That is what I saw at OSU. He may never get that good a situation again but I don't believe he has nothing to offer

Rivera took Allen and the OC to Washington, so he has the guy he’s comfortable with. The shame for Washington is it’s a wasted 1st rounder.

Kyle Allen got him fired at Carolina.

Which was odd that he took him to Wash.

This whole decisions stinks. It's because of how weak the NFC East has come up, and Rivera thinks he can win it with his D, and a QB that doesn't F up. Unfortunately that's NOT Kyle Allen. It could be Alex if he's healthy. But Haskins had his best game of the year, against the best D he'll see, last game against Baltimore, after Rivera challenged him. Unless there's some off field problem with Haskins, this decision is asinine. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/H/HaskDw00.htm
If Rivera wanted to go with his guy, he should have started the season with him.
