I've seen those twitter clips and each example is a basic coverage read. It was QB 101 from pop warner. What I do take away from it is he really trusts his eyes and doesn't mind taking the risk by throwing into tight windows or what should be open zones. He has decent anticipation but it remains to be seen if that translates to the NFL where he will play better, disquised defense far superior to Washington Huskies meh defense.

Well it remains to be seen if any prospect can do anything against NFL defenses. That has nothing to do with the point.

All you can do is project how players will translate and what Haskins is doing presnap translates well to the NFL. The defenses will get better but... so can Haskins.

Speaking of missing the point. The fanboyism is blinding! The point was a few twitter clips showing basic reads does not a high football IQ make and it remains to be seen if he gets into trouble trusting his eyes too much and attempting to throw receivers open against far superior defenses. I would argue it has EVERYTHING to do with point. It’s okay to be critical of weaknesses and think a dude is decent. You glossed over that. Trouble happens when ignoring those weaknesses and think he is the next coming.... How many times now here in Jax? 

So I clarify...my opinion is he is a good prospect, but I have concerns with his reads and throwing the ball up for grabs. It works at the college level, not so much in the NFL. I think with his natural ability, he can be taught the important pieces and would make for a good project QB. I don’t know that if throwing him out as a day one saviors is such as good idea. Of course, a training camp would serve to help clear that question up.
