Ones a raw rookie, the other would be settling into a new team. Would Haskins be given a learning spell or would Foles be expected to hit the ground running?

Just my opinion, but ANY rookie college QB is going to be worse than a veteran.  There are a few limited examples that say otherwise, but I would rather go for the veteran.  For all we know, Haskins or [insert college QB name here] could be nothing more than another Johnny Manziel.  Remember, these are kids that have never seen football at this level.

Of course, the probability that Foles would be better in the short term is very high. I really believe that it wouldn't be too long before Haskins overtakes him though and becomes better for a much longer period of time. I don't wanna build this team for the short term. I wanna build a dynasty like the Patriots and I truly believe Haskins can be a big puzzle piece toward building that type of team.
