Lol, so you dismiss Murray as a bust, yet you're completely sold on Haskins? Man. Your posts make me cringe. Why is everybody so sold on Haskins? Is it because he has the arm? or the size? It's funny, those 2 actually don't end up mattering much as an NFL QB in today's game. As a matter of fact, the tallest Qbs are the worst ( Winston, Flacco, Bortles , Osweiller). What is it that has everyone sold on this cat? I've watched tape. The only throws I've seen this guy make are 60 yard Go routes to the endzone. Haven't seen a touch pass from him yet. Haven't seen him make ANY intermediate throws. THOSE are the types of throws you need to be able to make in the NFL. Not 65 yard bombs. Guys aren't gonna be wide open, especially not our guys. We have the oppurtunity to either rake a gamble with a wildcard like Murray, who could either be terrible or amazing, or we could go for the same ol, draft a QB because he has an arm and the size (and nothing else, AKA Blake Bortles/Jameis Winston 2.0) And on top  of that, you have the audacity to compare him to WARREN MOON?? brother.. I don't know what you've been smoking but it sounds like really good stuff.

1. Watch film breakdowns of the first half of season instead of highlights of the last 3 games. There are more intermediate and short throws there than bombs. He is actually inconsistent on deep throws because of his mechanics.

2. I don't dismiss Murray as a bust. I just think he is a bigger risk. I actually think he has a higher ceiling, but the chances of him getting there are much smaller. Building a team, you can take some risks, but you cannot bank on the 100% ceiling. I think Haskins is safer. 

3. Haskins actually doesn't have a great pure throwing arm, just the size. He requires his mechanics to get accuracy. Murray has a better arm allowing him to be better at touch passes and accuracy. But Murray's size makes me worried if he can get the velocity needed in the phone booth or getting hit because he seems to need his full motion to get zip on the ball. 

4. Read my posts again. I didn't compare Haskins saying he is Moon. I compared his build and some of his characteristics to Moon, and said that is the goal a team should trying to get to be.  I even said I "I have no idea if he can become that guy, but that should be the goal." I mean he has trouble trusting his arm at times early last season. If doesn't trust that, he will be no better than check-down master a la Chad Henne. You don't draft a QB without knowing a model of what he can be, or else you end up trying to fit round pegs into square holes.
