Haskins' 2018 stats though. 4831 yds, 70% comp. 50 TDs 8 INTs There was no conspiracy to keep Joe on the bench.

Again, doesn’t mean much. If you put Burrow in that offense he was already familiar with for 3 years and drop Haskins off in Baton Rouge during June 2018, what do their respective seasons look like? We’ll never know.

Conspiracy?
Perhaps you are conflating the Justin Fields transfer with Burrow's?

JB outplayed Haskins in the OSU Spring Game. Nonetheless, Haskins retained the starting spot. That was not based on conspiracy, but rather on Haskin's in-game performance vs UofM the previous season. No one claims a conspiracy occurred. Absent an injury though, Haskins was going to maintain an edge on JB simply because he started from a point of advantage.
