That’s one of the benefits of being both an idiot and a good football player. Until you have burned all your bridges there’s always some coach who believes that he can fix you.
Dwayne Haskins
- Thread starter Obliviax
- Start date
He was awful, but no reason to cut him based on performance today. Could always do that in the offseason after you’ve fully explored the options. He’s not an awful cap hit, but still would have been nice to trade it rather than eat it.
I have half of that formula covered...not great with the pigskin though.
He's a liability as far as not following protocol so they could have just suspended him through the rest of the season/playoffs then look for compensation in the off season, right?
How is he different than Drew Lock and company? Denver QB's all screwed up and outright cost them a game. That blew over quickly tho
True. But in the ESPN article I quoted it stated he got busted not following protocol "again". So how many times was it? Enough for a $40k fine. Remember this team is still in the playoff hunt and the head coach has Cancer.
It goes way deeper than the COVID stuff (but it doesn’t help)...the word earlier this year was that he wasn’t working hard enough, was showing up unprepared, etc. That was the word last season too, but it sounded like he worked a lot harder this offseason (and was named a captain). But he didn’t keep it up, and the new regime is trying to set a tone. I think a lot of his being released today is symbolic to send a message. But I would have liked to just make him inactive, even tell him to stay away from the facility, and look for a deal.
Maybe something happened within the past 24 hours, but he voluntarily spoke to the media after yesterday’s clunker after being told he didn’t have to, which I thought was a sign of maturity.

He just ran out during a timeout to slap 5 (so did Chase Young). It wasn’t anything really, although it was the only emotion he showed after getting benched.

He’s never been a jerk. Clueless, maybe. Maybe he has friends in his ear who lead him astray. Who knows? It took me forever to grow up, so perhaps there’s hope for Haskins.
No he didn’t. He left without speaking to the media (which is mandatory) and then did a zoom from home hours later after the team had to track him down
He’s been dreadful. In 16 games:
267/444 60.1% 2804y 12TD 14INT 12 fumbles 74.4 Rating
So he left without talking, and then team PR tracked him down and he did a zoom
I have a friend who does alumni volunteering activities at Bullis, which is the high school that Haskins went to. He told me that it was well known that Haskins was an idiot and there were issues with his attitude dating back to high school. Haskins' issues in Washington was that he didn't learn the playbook, he did not take criticism well, and that he demonstrated a bad attitude due to a sense of entitlement.
By the way, Christian Veilleux, our 2021 recruiting class Quarterback, comes from the same high school as Haskins, so hopefully he is A LOT smarter than Haskins.

It seems all Terry does is win. Smart enough to win 4 super bowls and smart enough to be one of the top sports personalities for 30 years.
Agree completely...PSU would never even consider recruiting those guys like Justin Fields or Terrelle Pryor that end up at OSU.
Fields was a one time PSU verbal, and we were all-in on trying to land Pryor.
Well, you admit to being an idiot. And acknowledging the problem is the first step to correcting it. Not sure that’s the case with Haskins.
So PSU is a football factory and does everything like O$U because we recruit similar players who end up being questionable character guys? You think Haskins ends up exactly where he is if he went to PSU? Possibly but as a PSU supporter I would like to think we do develop guys of higher character. So if they are questionable when they get to the program we can mold them into good teammates and people. Won't happen all the time but I would hope and believe we are better at it than O$U.
I think they care about wins and losses, but it is a job. A lot of people go out and have a drink or two after a bad day at the office.
Read the post I responded to...it said that OSU doesn’t recruit players with character. News flash...we are recruiting the same players.
I’m convinced it’s because Pensilbanea is harder to spell than Ohio. That’s probably why Messecutis and Conectecute never have good teams.
I thought I read that he was told that Heineken or whatever his name is was going to meet with the media and that he was not required to. Sometimes mixups get blown way out of proportion, especially when there might be a "juicy" story to get clicks
I really thought he was a reach at that pick to begin with. This is not surprising.
Yinz guys need to get learnt bout how to spel Ahia.
I've always wondered where's the dividing line in PA where yinz turns to yunz? I have a friend in Lewisburg that's a yunz guy.
If I were the Steelers I would sign Haskins. His main problem is maturity. He still has an upside. Heck, Ben was pretty immature when he signed with the Steelers. He actually might be able to help the kid out.photographed at a strip club without a mask. He copped a plea and apologized. he didn't even go down the "peaceful protest" route! This is a violation of the NFL policy, BTW.
