Another case of a college QB coming from a great team loaded with so much talent, who has not developed the skillset needed. Throwing with unlimited protection to a bevy of wide open receivers does not necessarily make that QB "great". Very few QBs have the ability to make their teams great.


PS; Inevitable when he dropped to 4th on the depth chart.

I think the biggest misstep Rivera did (not to defend Haskins) is allowing him to start, the same week he had his Captain status removed for the strip club/covid violation incident. Haskins should have been benched for the rest of the season, regardless of QB health issues.

He was given the C before the season began. He sucked last year too!

Yeah, it's unfortunate he chose the Jamarcus Russel career path.

It really is.

You basically hit the genetic lottery having an opportunity of a life time in being a starting NFL qb.

I gotta think though, the game is probably just too fast. Or he can't process it very well.

And then when you are not in the play book and arrogant you look like garbage despite having a top 5 defense behind you and a very solid Washington offense to roll with.


To have all that and still be failing. Even with the poopy attitude lets me know he just cant play the game at this level.

Unfortunately, this does not bode well for Justin Fields. Teams going to be very hesitant about Ohio State & its QB program after this debacle.

Dwayne Haskins is due $4.266 million in fully guaranteed base salary over the 2021 and 2022 seasons. Any team that claims him off waivers would be on the hook for that -- a relatively small price, if someone thinks they can unlock the 23-year-old former 1st-round pick

I’m not surprised after his several incidents before this week. Rivera is a no nonsense old school coach. In fact, I think if his team had a healthy Alex Smith last week, Haskins would’ve been cut last week. He’s obviously is a selfish immature kid that has probably been coddled in HS & OSU because of his physical talents. Those guys rarely make it as NFL starters for long when they can’t grasp the team concept
