I think Haskins has that ability. Consistent winning comes from great QB play. Sure you may have a down year (7-9) but you’ll also have plenty of 10-12 win seasons. I’d only want Foles if he was around 12-15 million a year. No way would I spend 20-25 million on him. Even if we got Foles at 15 million, I’d stil draft Haskins because he’s the future.

I'd totally understand that plan that if most the draftniks considered Haskins or Murray as super top level prospect. But most don't. Murray could be great, but has some big red flags and risks. Haskins has some very good qualities, but most are putting on the level of a better Trubisky.

Not to mention with that plan, the window to win those 10-12 games won't be until 2020/2021 at the earliest, most likely that means this Front Office/Coaching staff is gone by then and Yannick/Ramsey will be past their primes or long gone too.

I also don't think Foles will cost $25 million a year. I just don't see the market for it. Denver was the Jags main competition, but they took Flacco. Unless the Giants move on from Manning, no one else would make any big play for him.

Nobody thought Mahomes was a super top level prospect either and all hes done is look like he's about to take over the league for the next 10+ years. Most draftniks are wrong, a lot.

The only thing I've seen Haskins compared to Trubisky about is because they were both 1 year starters, that's it.

Ramsey is 24 and Ngakoue is 23.. They're just starting to enter their prime lol.. And paying Foles will just make it harder to re-sign them in 1-2 seasons.

Why couldn't a rookie QB help lead this team to a winning record in this coming season? Most people think Bortles is the worst QB in the world, yet this team was minutes away from the Super Bowl with him. 

This team is built around Defense and running the football. Limiting the QBs mistakes and trying to make it so he doesn't have to carry the team week by week. Sounds like a perfect situation for top 7 rookie QB to step into imo. Would there be some growing pains? Definitely, but we all know this team, regardless of who the QB is, isn't looking to go throw the ball around 40+ times per game.
