Life is far too short. It sucks because hadn't even turned 26. He's had a whole life ahead of him with plenty left to accomplish, experiences to be had, and love to give.

May he rest in paradise.

2762383, I know people don’t like Ohio State
Posted by legsdiamond, Mon Apr-11-22 10:54 AM
but the level of hate Haskins received always seemed over the top.

its Cam Newton levels but even I know why people hate Cam.

Can’t explain why people hate Haskins so much.
2762385, Terrelle Pryor got the same treatment

Posted by 3xKrazy, Mon Apr-11-22 10:01 PM
people take their dislike of football teams a bit too far

the haskins/pryor comparison isnt even really a good one because haskins never broke any rules (no matter how stupid) and never got into trouble.
2762470, Lol there were people on this board calling Pryor a thug and Tressel a cheater
Posted by guru0509, Tue Apr-12-22 08:04 AM
….because players sold their own belongings


>the haskins/pryor comparison isnt even really a good one
>because haskins never broke any rules (no matter how stupid)
>and never got into trouble.

I think Haskins got shit because no one likes the Commanders or Dan Snyder so when they were trash , it was easy to blame the rookie QB from Ohio State
2762507, nah it predated all of that. people took it personally that he left early.

cause fans are just weird like that.

i thought he should've stayed as well but not gonna begrudge anyone for taking the money
2762706, nah.. its because Haskins was a Black QB for the Buckeyes
Posted by legsdiamond, Thu Apr-14-22 04:22 PM
and he didn’t stay in his place and do exactly what he should’ve..

which is play another year of free football so the NCAA could make millions off him and fans could root for or against him.

2762708, Justin Fields left TOSU early too, and he's Black and wasnt hated
Posted by guru0509, Thu Apr-14-22 05:20 PM
so I dont believe that it's soley for those reasons.

there's MORE to it but who cares now.

he's gone,


it still trips me out when i see that he was born in 1997...2 years before I signed up for this message board smh

2763322, I must've missed where OSU had a bad recent history with black qb's
Posted by 3xKrazy, Thu Apr-21-22 08:43 AM
not to mention all of the haskins hate came from outside the fanbase...from what i saw osu fans were unanimously rooting for him to succeed and were excited for the transition into the justin fields era (who would've have come to OSU had Haskins stayed)

but this guy is trying too hard per usual
2763329, all the pryor hate was from outside the fanbase as well
Posted by 3xKrazy, Thu Apr-21-22 09:19 AM
non osu fans didn't seem to care much about the plight of a young black qb getting railroaded by an inequitable system.

go figure.

accepting this was a freak accident.

I thought he was changing a tire or trying to walk to get gas

but if he was just out walking like that I have to wonder if he was intoxicated, sleep walking or not in the right headspace and didn’t realize where he was at the time.

I was rooting for him to prove everyone wrong in Pittsburgh.

2763441, USA TODAY: "Parents of Dwayne Haskins not attending son's funeral"

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/parents-of-steelers-qb-dwayne-haskins-not-attending-son-s-funeral/ar-AAWtVsj

The parents of Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Dwayne Haskins say they will not attend his funeral services on Friday.

“We have never met or spoken to the wife, and we didn’t want our son’s funeral service to be the place we met her for the first time,” says Dwayne Sr. and Tamara Haskins in a statement.

Haskins was killed April 9 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, when he attempted to cross an interstate and was hit by a dump truck. The Florida Highway Patrol said in a crash incident report that Haskins was also struck by a second vehicle.

Admittedly, I'm only an expert on pro wrestling , Terps hoops, and the Washington Football team...and there's not a person in DC who's vouched for Dwayne Haskins as a professional.

It unfortunately sounds like Dwayne was partying with people who party too hard ala Len Bias. There's a difference between being set up and being irresponsible and he was, tragically, the latter. It's foolish to assume there's a conspiracy at play but I think her grief is revealing itself in this way and I pray to never have to endure the trauma she's enduring right now.
