Nate Burleson:Dwayne Haskins is a better QB than Eli

NYBEN1963 : 6/10/2019 5:46 pm
First off let me say I really like Nate Burleson I think he is really good at his job as an analyst,usually very smart with well thought out comments.But this is the stupidest thing i have EVER heard in over 40 years of following football and it isn't even close.I know alot of these shows thrive on saying outlandish shit just to get people talking during the off season but this is beyond idiotic.His credibility took a big hit in my eyes after this non-sense
Unbelievable!! - ( New Window )

This isn't about a rocket arm. It's about a guy who hasn't played in a single NFL game (even an exhibition game) and wasn't a can't-miss prospect to begin with being declared already better than Eli Manning.

Haskins has shown nothing in the NFL

I haven't started a thread on it, but Chris Simms has been doing a Top 40 QBs for the coming season - revealing 2 each day. Of course, Eli barely makes the list, but Haskins and others who have never taken a snap in the NFL are higher. It is such a horse-shit take. I don't have a problem with an analyst rating starting QBs, but at least restrict the criteria to actual starting QBs not players who are #2 on the depth chart. In Simms case, he is doing a Top 40 so the QB2's have a place in what should logically be after the starters. But logic has no use when making these lists.

When Kay weighed in favor for Washington, she gave the reason because they have Sweat [et al.]

I was thinking that is pretty rude to refer to Haskins as Sweat. He can't help being a fatty with no conditioning. Then I remembered they actually drafted Sweat.

I misread it...I thought they were saying he had a better arm. Let them do this. It seems every time someone makes this claim, it blows up in the other QB's face.

a few times, then I decided to stop listening to anything he has to say, mostly because I think he says some really really stupid things to say about the game....quite surprising for me personally as I admired him as a player...he has such a "pedestrian" view of everything...like I am listening to a teenager wanna be NFL analyst who knows very little about the game.

Probably not racism. But definitely stupidity, as McNabb had been to 3 straight NFCCs, 3 consecutive Pro Bowls, was 27 and in the prime of his career.

ZoneXDOA : 6/10/2019 6:40 pm : link
Has been talking mad shit about Eli and the Giants since the Beckham trade. It’s to the point where I am starting to think he is simply ass hurt because a fellow receiver was traded away and they kept Eli. He Just roasts Eli whenever he gets the opportunity. I can’t wait for 10 to show what he can do with some protection on top of a run game and guys who, while no OBJ, should stay in the game and make plays for their QB! I actually like most of what he has to say, but he gets straight up irrational when it comes to the Giants. I wonder if they rejected him at some point?
Come on, now.  
81_Great_Dane : 6/10/2019 6:48 pm : link
This is even worse than it sounds. "Right now, Dwayne Haskins is a better quarterback than Eli Manning." Right now. Today, June 10. Before he has ever taken a single snap in as much as a pre-season game. And Washington has a better chance of beating up the division with Haskins at QB than the Giants do with Manning.

That could be true, but how can he (or anyone) know such a thing? Dwayne Haskins wasn't even the best Washington QB in OTAs so far, according to some reports.

Longer Nate Burleson: "My fantasy of what Dwayne Haskins can do is more fun to think about than my fantasy of what Eli Manning can do."

Or, as someone above observed: Maybe he just thinks Eli is toast.
Strong arm doesn’t make a good QB  
LauderdaleMatty : 6/10/2019 6:50 pm : link
Local Radio Channing Crowder Ex Dolphin LB said Chad Pennington
Was the best QB he played w. He had a noodle arm and was a VERY successful QB. Much more than lots of QBs


Saying any QB who hasn’t taken a single
Snap in even a pre season game is a joke and he’s trying to make a splash. Like him to but it’s a joke name he as a professional should be roasted. Eli isn’t Mr Popular around the NFL w guys. Not hated but let’s be honest. And for a guy w 2 legit SB MVPs is downright odd.

Nate. Burleson was a journey man slightly above average WR. Think these guys get big heads in front of the camera way too often
After the draft, Chris Carter said something to the effect that

adamg : 6/10/2019 6:53 pm : link
He's out on a limb right now though. Haskins could win a super bowl and be shittier than Eli right now. He's a rookie. Only one rookie looked better than Eli last year. People drastically underrate average QB play. Haskins hasn't even shown he's capable of that.

and NFL players. People can argue how good Eli has been over the years and it’s normally on the difference between a HOF player or a fringe HOF player. On either side, that amounts to a pretty damn good NFL player and franchise QB. Certainly a tough SOB which you’d think people would admire. By all accounts, Eli has been an ambassador for the game, two time SB winner and SB MVP, and quite successful. What is it about Eli that rubs people the wrong way? Is it just NY bias?

There's little to no risk in it.

It will be well received bc the majority of fans don't like him, or at least don't mind seeing him get slammed. Maybe it's the draft day thing, maybe it's a Manning family thing, maybe it's a NY bias thing, maybe it's the mannerisms and goofy faces. Probably depends on the fan but between those 4 boxes there's probably a lot of dislike, or at least like seeing him get busted on.

The other part of the equation is that Eli will never respond. He'll always take the high road. It's one of the reasons we love the guy. It also makes him an easy target for a quick joke. While a hot head who goes off the handle at being criticized may get even more attention, I don't think most media types want that baggage. Much easier to pull a hit and run on an easy target.

Yeah, Simms top 40 is a load of bullshit. I have no problem with him ranking Eli low, but ranking him #34 out of 32 teams is a strech. Remember, this as also the same show that had Charean Williams, and Mike Florio absolutely gushing with praise for the Redskins O-Line, without ever mentioning Ereck Flowers, and the injury concerns they have with Trent Williams.

shit on my house, Eli!!!

The discussion actually wasn't bad, but Burleson is essentially saying  
regulator : 6/10/2019 7:40 pm : link
quarterback = strong arm/athleticism. Emphasizing the term *quarterback* seems misplaced and mistaken given that most would agree there's far more to playing the position than physical gifts... so to say that after six weeks of being a professional athlete, never having suited up, much less taken a live professional snap, that Dwayne Haskins is a better *quarterback* than Eli Manning is pretty laughable.

At this point, is Haskins more athletic? Is he a better thrower of the football? Does he move around better? All of the above may be, and probably are, true. But to say he's a better *quarterback*, emphasizing a term that connotes the complete package of an NFL signal-caller beyond the measurable physical traits, is a big misnomer.

There seems to have been resentment towards Eli in this league  
joeinpa : 6/10/2019 7:57 pm : link
Since he got drafted.

I think his two Super Bowl runs gave him a status that many players don’t believe he deserves.

Mostly I think they resent the money he has made, the fame of his name, and the Giants loyalty to him. I believe it is the latter which skews their view of Giants management, including the Beckham trade.

As to the claim Haskins is a better quarterback, we shall see. There would have been the same outrage had he said the same thing about Mayfield at this juncture last season.

Maybe most here believe Eli is a better quarterback than Mayfield still, but that sentiment would get a lot of push back around the league

Eli gets killed because he's been consistently inconsistent  
Zeke's Alibi : 6/10/2019 8:20 pm : link
throughout his career. A top 12 QB for the majority of a career that if there was some more consistency in his game could have been an elite QB. One thing about Eli is that he shows up in the 4th quarters and the playoffs and a lot of the players that don't watch him week in week out probably find it confounding that he is a two time super bowl mvp. They watch a QB in film that makes some really questionable throws for three quarters than inexplicably turns it on in the 4th quarter. Hopefully DJ has a career at least like ELi's because as Giants fans we knew with Eli we could always win the game if it was close in the 4th. That is all I really want from my QB. I mean it would have been great to draft an elite QB, but those guys are few and far between.

As far as NB's comments, I think NB just thinks Eli is toast. And his comments kind of alluded to that about his arm. There is no way a former professional football player would say any rookie is better than an established vet unless he thought that vet was cooked.

Right, obviously biased opinions. It's not really a secret or anything. Someone earlier bemoaned the state of "sports journalism". This isn't sports journalism. That's become a niche market and exists in small, last bastion strongholds like The Athletic. Legit journalism still exists, much like good movies are new music.

given that Mr. Haskins has not even taken his first NFL snap; not to mention reports have been that he has had a rough start in the off-season program. Maybe one day, Redskins fans will be able to look back and see multiple SBs, pro-bowls, MVPs, etc., and then they can make that statement. But to make a statement like that at this point in Haskins career is just dumb.
Maybe..

Haskins waived Burleson's $50 entrance fee to the draft party?
I love Nate Burleson and I’m glad Kyle and Peter

Ummm. Nate has his head up his a**. Haskins is getting outplayed by Case Keenum so far. DH will hold the clipboard until the Redskins are eliminated from the playoffs.

That said, I'd say Eli is the 3rd best QB in the division, behind Wentz and Dak (who is better than we think he is).

I like our QB situation. Is it the best in the division, probably not...unless DJ becomes a franchise QB.

Eli Manning is likely in his last season with the Giants, I'm hoping he delivers one more magical run to the post-season. He appears to be in good shape and ready to give it a shot. His arm isn't what it was. But, he's a pro, I'm glad we have him as the starter.

I was upset when we drafted Jones at #6 (and missed Allen) on draft night, like alot of us. He appears to have his priorities right during mini-camp and the OTA's. He has a better arm that I thought and has some nice mobility. He has said and done all the right things.

Rooting hard for him, but the kid has yet to take a snap facing a defense with pads on, let alone in a live NFL pre-season game. That's his next test. Imagine the insanity on this board if he throws 3 picks in his first pre-season game (which he should start BTW).

DJ's developing, which is great. The jury is out. However, his first impression has been dynamite.

Fingers crossed.

He's wrong. We have the best QB situation in the division.
Haskins comes to the line for his first professional snap

At one point, Larry Holmes was a better boxer than Ali. Doesn't mean in the entirety of ones career, they were better.

Eli is getting old. For me, I want to see him going out with his head high, with some nice wins under his belt this year. But like taxes and death, age does not discriminate.

The difference between guys like Haskins and Eli, is Eli can look back and say, in the toughest of times, against the best competition, in a window of time, I was on top of the world. Twice! Until Haskins wins two Super Bowl MVP's and carries a team to glory, it's all noise.
Regardless of what you think of Eli

There is no basis at all for suggesting Dwayne Haskins is better than any NFL quarterback. He may very well be, but the guy hasn't taken a snap in the NFL. He could turn into Dan Marino or Ryan Leaf. Nobody knows.

To say at this point in his career who Haskins is already better than is simply emotional stupidity.
And I think Daniel Jones

is way better NFL QB than Haskins right now. So.
