Ron Rivera offered encouragement to second-year quarterback Dwayne Haskins shortly following Washington’s 34-20 lo s to the on Sunday. Nick Dzubnar Jersey It was a rough performance for Haskins, who threw three interceptions while failing to complete 60% of his pa ses for the third time in as many games.”‘Look,'” Rivera said, , “‘I told you, I am behind you, and I am going to stick with you, so you go out there and play football.'”While he is sticking with Haskins for now, Rivera clearly wants to see more growth from his second-year quarterback who has not shown much progre s following a rookie season that saw him complete fewer than 60% of his pa ses. In fact, Haskins’ completion percentage this season (56.4%) through Ola Adeniyi Jersey three games is worse than it was during his rookie season. Haskins’ lack of succe s in Cleveland prompted Rivera to be asked about his quarterback’s struggles. Rivera offered a candid response.”There is a cut-off point for me,” Rivera said. “There were a lot of guys that put their heart out on the field and, truthfully, they deserve better. … When you look at the way Daron (Payne) played Brett Kern Jersey and Jonathan (Allen) and Montez (Sweat), guys like that are leaving it on the field – . Guys played hard. … Then you turn around to the offensive side, and you look at those guys on the offensive line were battling and fighting too, and the things that the backs and the receivers and the tight ends. “I am going to support the young man. I am not going to pull the plug on him just because something like this happens. … You have to say at some point there is (a cutoff), and I’ll cro s that bridge when I get there.”Rivera said that , his quarterback in Carolina who is currently enjoying a career rebirth in New England, endured similar struggles after being the No.1 overall pick in the 2011 draft.

As was the case with Newton, Rivera said that he will not listen to the outside Tennessee Titans Hats noise as it relates to handling his quarterback position. He’s hoping Haskins can also block out the outside noise while instead focusing on the task at hand. While he is hoping to have similar patience with Haskins, it’s clear that Rivera will have to see some signs of progre s from his quarterback soon. Unfortunately for Haskins, his next chance to prove himself will take place against the , who had a great deal of succe s against and during their first two games of the 2020 season.
