A lot of emotion over Haskins

 

[trojanfan12]

I'd suspect the constant resting from him and Kawhi wasn't well received

Especially when you consider what last years team accomplished by playing "all hands on deck, everybody gives everything they have every game" basketball. That team wouldn't take a minute off, let alone entire games.

I remember that being a question early in the season, but the Clippers assured everyone that it was fine.

Turns out that it may not have been.

 

[trojanfan12]

Haskins' average time to throw is 2.15 seconds. Last in the NFL.

I realize that he's inexperienced, but that speaks to the decision making issues that @tlance spoke about.

I understand he has issues but like I've said before...he shouldn't be playing. He should be watching and learning...now way he was ready.

He is basically a 1 read guy.

Chalk it up to inexperience if you want. That is part of it. Not the whole story though.

Is there a big market for Playoff PeedHisPants? Lakers offer Danny Green and KCP.

I gotta admit Kyler Murray is pretty sick for a short QB...

Hopefully one day fans will realize when QBs are worthy of being taken high it's rare height will hurt them. Honestly, other than Manziel, I cannot think of another short QB projected to go near top of draft who failed.

Don't confuse this with my not understanding more big QBs are taken than small.....but big QBs fail all the time.

 

[dtgold88]

Sure.

But he also never had a shot

Just like Jordan Love sitting behind Rodgers has no shot.

You all will see I am right on both counts as it plays out.

You can’t play the QB position effectively at the NFL level without being a high caliber decision maker. Haskins doesn’t have that capability.

Us all? I don't recall anyone saying they were sure haskins would be a stud. Best anyone said was wait and see.

 

[dtgold88]

In his defense, at this point Haskins doesn't have any special quality. He seems to have a strong arm and shows at times nice arm talent but nothing that stands out. That's why I said development for him is so key....this is killing him imo

Totally agree.....and when we hear "big arm" as a QBs best trait I am always leery. That said, you are also correct he's probably a guy who would benefit from sitting/learning.

 

[dtgold88]

Nba folks @bksballer89 @Shanemansj13 @Stakesarehigh @tlance should I take this cash out?

small wager 25 bucks . Returns 87.50 if
Lakers won it all.

can take 61.02 right now.

they are currently -400 to win the championship. Are they that good?

I'd be inclined to keep going.....then take Miami with the money line in the Finals. Or Cs if they pull it off.

No.

It's going to be interesting for sure. I can't imagine that he helped his trade value with his playoff performance. He can't even blame the bubble (although I expect him to try) because of his previous playoff failures.

It also doesn't help that his "rally the troops" speech after game 7 seems to have been met with a collective

 

[dtgold88]

I don’t mind sure things I think they beat Denver..... should be a few more bucks when they clinch the series or get another win... I’ll hold.
I held once on a major cash out it was a whacky bet. Team was +18 to win at tip off, think it was the Turkish league... they were down 27 points in the second quarter. I parlayed them to WIN with two other games....live bet..they were massive dogs down 27.....

they came all the way back and we’re up 9.....I had a huge profit cash out ....but way more if I let it play out.... with 2 min left they were up 8 they lost by 6..... I was crushed

Was once in a survival pool that made it to end of season. The year steelers beat Seattle. In it with a friend and we had Steelers left to pick for the SB. A lot more money at play (11k). Figured we'd hedge our bet to get something and bet a grand on seattle.

Not sure this is the same situation entirely, but I recall when the cavs were supposedly getting him for Love I was a little leery. sure, overall PG maybe a better player but what does he offer that Lebron didn't? and in this case, what did he provide that Kawhi didn't. wonder if that was more the issue.

Of course, no PG and probably no Kawhi. Maybe this is why some of the greats do not make the best GMs? Kawhi and the Clips might have been better off with SGA, Galinari and not losing all those picks.

 

[dtgold88]

I had no idea you were like this. Getting upset because I don't agree with you. And ignoring all the other problems your team currently has. Having an issue with a QB that a dysfunctional franchise threw in as a starter when he wasn't ready. I had no idea you're a part time member of the super-homer's club. You know who's a fulltime member? wiggy. Don't be like wiggy.

While I do think maybe he could take a different approach here, not sure how ripping Haskins makes him a homer.

 

[dtgold88]

lol

@tlance @Wamu

You guys doing an impression of the Clippers locker room?

as usual, if it comes to a ban I'll go.

 

[dtgold88]

A lot of emotion over Haskins

I need to comment more so I can be blamed for it going this far off the rails.
