How many 2nd round QBs pan out? The vast majority of QBs starting in this league are 1st rounders. Brady, Dak and Wilson were not drafted to be starters but were backups that got pushed into the starting role.

Haskins is nothing like the former QBs under Meyer. You have to judge QBs solely on their skills are a passer and their ability to read a defense. Haskins has apparently been killing it on the white board for teams because he has the ability to quickly process a play. Something Blake could never do.

To me, there are only 2 QBs worth taking this year: Murray and Haskins. Drafting any other QB would be a mistake.

How many good QBs have come out of Ohio State? How many QBs under Meyer went to the NFL, and how long did they last?  You could be right about Haskins, and if the Jags draft him, I pray you are. I like Foles because there are less unknowns with him. That's really the discussion at this point, IMO.

I agree that we don't know how Haskins will turn out but you can't judge him based on previous QBs at OSU or under Meyer. He is his own person. Just curious, which college coaches produce the best NFL QBs? Which universities produce the best ones? There is no pattern at all when drafting a QB. They come from schools and coaches with horrible QB backgrounds. Judging Haskins poorly because he played at OSU and under Meyer is just lazy. Those Purdue QBs never work out well... except for Brees. Those Michigan QBs never work out... well except for Brady. Those Texas Tech QBs come from pass happy offenses and never work out in the pros.... well except for Mahomes.

And we know who Foles is. He's an average QB who has high highs and low lows. I'm willing to take Haskins and hopefully give this franchise it's first ever true franchise QB.
