No he wasn’t. Will Grier was terrible.

Haskins was just bad

[LinvilleGorge]

No Panthers fan should be surprised to see Ron roll with a known mediocre at best commodity. We watched it happen time and time again.

He’s gonna develop into a really good QB. Trust me. 

You're both right. Haskins is going to need time and a good OL. Feel sorry for him, having Ron and Co. around. We see the help Cam got in that department. Kids got it though. Once he fine tunes some of his pocket stuff I think he'll be a real steady QB who can make plays.

[top dawg]

If Huddlers don't know it by now, they'll never know it; Ron Rivera's competition is rhetorical more than anything else!

Why doesn't Ron go after Cam . He is a free agent and could be had cheap .

Panthers should have traded for Haskins 

He carved our defense up, but I'm not quite ready to say Haskins will be or is better than Teddy B.

Reading between the lines.  He thinks Allen has a "live arm" LMAO

Washington head coach Ron Rivera has talked about having a competition for the starting quarterback job since taking the job early this year.

He’s talked about a healthy Alex Smith potentially being a foil for Dwayne Haskins and left the door open for the team to draft a quarterback in April. The team traded for one of Rivera’s former Panthers quarterbacks in Kyle Allen last week and Rivera put him into the competition pool, although he added that Haskins would go into such a competition in the No. 1 spot.

“That’s what we’re going into camp believing, but they’re going to compete,” Rivera said on WFNZ, via Football Morning in America. “We really like what we have in terms of our young quarterbacks. Kyle a young guy who has a live arm, understands the game, understands how we do things, so I’m excited about what the potential could be.”

Allen started more games than Haskins during the 2019 season, but doesn’t have the perceived upside that comes with Haskins being a first-round pick last year. While that pick was made by a different regime in Washington, it sounds like it still gives him a leg up going into next season.

 

Ron remembers he had them at 5-3 and they should've beat the Saints. Ron loves the past.

A team that was 6-6 and had virtually no chance at crawling back into the playoffs even if they won 4 in a row got beat. The 2019 Panthers gave up after NO.

I think the Redskins will draft Tua or trade out.

Rivera passing on Chase Young?

I'd join the pitchforks and torches crowd if that happened, and I'm not even a Redskins fan.

Honestly, he's the reason I would be surprised if that happened.

Word was that Snyder is the guy who wanted Haskins. Jay Gruden and his staff didn't.

With that said, the word now is that Snyder has handed the keys to the kingdom over to Ron Rivera. If Rivera truly does have full power, who knows?

Power in the Reskins organization is a very fleeting thing, unless your last name is Snyder. 

Somebody once defined control as being able to take charge of something that is running amok, putting it back on the rails, and then relinquishing it to those who are charged with keeping it running.  Snyder apparently heard that.  He likes to take something that may be on the rails but not moving as fast as he wants, thoroughly screwing it up, and then giving the mess to someone new to try and straighten out.  By that time the thing is not only not on the rails, the rails are dislodged, too.
