Basically until Haskins showed up, this amounts to a complaint that a bunch of late round QBs didn't pan out. Which is true at almost any school.

In the 30 years before Haskins, Ohio State produced

• Cardale Jones (4th round)
  
• Troy Smith (5th round)
  
• Craig Krenzel (5th round)
  
• Steve Belisari (6th round)
  
• Joe Germaine (4th round)
  
• Bobby Hoying (3rd round)
  
• Kent Graham (8th round)
  

Please tell me which of those would reasonably be expected to be franchise or even starting QBs?  I'm honestly not sure why the mentality exists that OSU QBs always bust or fail to meet expectations. Tons of schools have had similar lowly-drafted options that don't become consistent high-level starters.

It would be like claiming BYU has only produced QB busts in the last 30 years and teams therefore shouldn't invest a high pick in Zach Wilson - which would be lazy, asinine and absurd

• Ty Detmer (9th round)
  
• John Walsh (7th round)
  
• Brandon Doman (5th round)
  
• John Beck (2nd round)
  

None of those guys became high-impact starters either. But with the possible exception of Beck, none of them were drafted to be.

Or dropping Joe Burrow since the LSU QBs in the 30 years before him weren't successful

• Danny Etling (7th round)
  
• Zach Mettenberger (6th round)
  
• Matt Flynn (7th round)
  
• JaMarcus Russell (#1 overall)
  
• Matt Mauck (7th round)
  
• Rohan Davey (4th round)
  
• Josh Booty (6th round)
  

If there's any school that actually exemplifies this it's more Oregon than Ohio State, but that didn't cause Herbert to drop either

• Marcus Mariota (#2 overall)
  
• Dennis Dixon (5th round)
  
• Kellen Clemens (2nd round)
  
• Joey Harrington (#3 overall)
  
• AJ Feeley (5th round)
  
• Akili Smith (#3 overall)
  
• Tony Graziani (7th round)
  
• Bill Musgrave (4th round)
  

At least they had 4 in the top 2 rounds who didn't pan out, so maybe there's some indicator there.  Ohio State has had exactly one QB drafted in the first two rounds turn into a bust in 30+ years - the same number as BYU, LSU or a lot of other schools.  I don't know why we magically expect Ohio State's 5th rounders to be starters when no other program has that expectation.
