"He is more likely to be out of the league entirely within the next 2 years than he is to start another NFL game."

Yes.

That is what I said.

Nowhere in my comment did I ask for a bet on that or say he was definitely going to be out of the league or that he definitely wouldn’t ever start another game.

 

[dtgold88]

Thank you.

That is what I said.

And since then, I have said I am not betting on that unless the terms favor me.

well in that case I do think Baker will one day prove wiggy right and will be better than Mahomes and a bigger icon here than Lebron...Cleveland teams will win at least a title per year for the next 40 years......the Dolans will go on a wild spending spree for the Tribe in the next 3 weeks.......OSU plays Clemson with backups and makes Dabo look like a fool

But I wont bet on any of this unless the terms favor me. Not even fake cash.

 

[dtgold88]

Yes.

That is what I said.

correct...you needed the goal posts moved for your bet.

 

[dtgold88]

Yeah, hard pass.

I don’t gamble on anything I can’t control the outcome of.

you got all your vcash money on bets in which you could control the outcome?

 

[dtgold88]

You are too much.

I am not the one who wants to bet.

It’s called negotiation.

If he wants to bet so badly, then he should meet my terms.

Or another way of looking at it is you aren't really that confident in what you said to not even be willing to make a bet with fake money.

 

[tlance]

No.

Actually I got all my Vcash from winning a couple contests where I risked nothing and a large bet with Wiggy where the terms clearly favored me. So I took it and won.

 

[dtgold88]

You're the one who was so confident he'll be out of the League in 2 years because he can't read a defense.....LOL.

well yeah....just not confident enough to take anything less than 2-1 odds in fake money.

 

[tlance]

DJ wants to bet real money.

And all I said is that 1 thing is more likely than the other.

 

[dtgold88]

What I said is that he is more likely to be out of the league in 2-3 years than to start another game. I think it is about 65% he is out and about 35% he starts another game.

But you continue to exaggerate my comments.

So you think about 2 to 1 in your favor that he's out, but need to be given 2-1 odds to back up your comment? seems like you'd think even money was a steal for you if you really believed it.

Ya gotta love this forum.

I am 1000% confident he will never be a successful NFL starter.

Out of the league entirely is a different thing. Still think it probably happens, but if he checks the off field stuff he can hang around a few more years.

Yes. That is what I think.

Go ahead and see if you can find a Vegas line on Haskins roster future in 3 years.

so as nearly everyone is saying...definitely possible he hangs around another 2-3 years.

Of course out of league entirely is different, but you seem pretty confident he will be.....just not enough to back it. and that's cool.

 

[trojanfan12]

Not to mention, Haskins is Snyder’s hand picked guy

No way Snyder signs off on this move without a mountain of evidence saying Haskins needs to go.

Yep. He was their 2019 first round pick qb too. Even the dumbest, worst run franchises don't typically give up on a 1st round draft pick (especially a qb) this quickly. At the least, they would try to move him and get a draft pick or something in return.

So yeah, even if he hadn't been handpicked by Snyder, it would take a lot for them to make this kind of move.

This is a fun game. Let me try. The Akron Zips will go to the Elite 8 this year. Next year the football team will go undefeated, make a New Years 6 bowl and win by four TD's. Luke Fickell will guide Cincy to the national championship next season. Did I do that right?

You have posted my quote now multiple times, so I know you have read it.

I do think he is more likely out of the league than he is to start again.

That is all.

That doesn’t mean I particularly want to bet on either end of it.

Because NFL teams make bad decisions all the time.

yes....I have. 65% likely out vs. 35% likely gets another start per you. So twice as likely out. If you really believe that even money is a steal for you. and as I said, that's cool. wont comment further on it unless asked a question about it.

 

[bksballer89]

What about you @bksballer89? You were touting he's done like you can see into the future.

I can though

 

[trojanfan12]

He likely is done. Teams just don't give up this quickly on a player, especially a qb. He may bounce around the league for a few more years. Coaches have egos too and there will likely be at least a couple who will convince themselves that their coaching style will get through to him or that he will work in their offensive system. etc.

But the chances that a team with choices will ever start him again are pretty slim.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I did not say that and you just quoted me so you should know I didn’t say that:

There were a lot of followup posts between you and the other poster....

I said vCash. Try reading again.

LOL.
