Urban Meyer's system has either done a terrible job of preparing elite QB talent for the pro's or a great job of making above average QB talent look elite. In all his years, the best pro QB he's produced is still Tim Tebow, for Pete's sake.
A big concern I have is that both Barrett and Jones looked unstoppable the year Braxton went down, then both went straight downhill. If Haskins declares, is he the real deal or just getting out before he gets exposed?
Haskins has the physical tools to be a great NFL QB and backed it up by breaking a bunch of BIG 10 records. None of the other QBs you mentioned had a season like Haskins and more importantly none of those QBs have the physical tools like Haskins.
I'm not saying Haskins is going to be a great QB, but please do not attempt to make the case that because he's a Buckeye that he won't pan out.
