Right on.....and I don't want to seem like I'm selling Haskins short either. The only thing that scares me about him is the track record of NFL QBs from his HC. It's quite a sample size. I would be a bit nervous about Tua due to the stellar oline he plays behind. I was a little gunshy about Watson due to how Boyd panned out.....you get the idea, system QBs and/or a product of elite supporting casts. That being said, tools are tools, and arm talent is arm talent. You just gotta hope they have it between the ears to transition to the NFL when the intangibles are there.
EDIT:....and with some guys, you need to have strong coaching and the ability to mentor them and bring them along to adapt, like Reid and Mahommes.
