The Facts: After being hired by the Redskins last month, Rivera highlighted the growth Haskins demonstrated late in the season. He also said he would wait to name a starting QB, citing the need for competition. Based on Friday's comments from senior vice president of player development Doug Williams, it's probably fair to say Haskins' primary competition on the pecking order is himself. "The new staff knows that Haskins is the starting quarterback here," Williams told reporters.

Diehards Line: Williams added, however: "The only thing that can happen is for Dwayne to give it back to them. It's up to him to learn the playbook, wear the coaches out. He's got to stay at the facility until they run him out of the building. ... Dwayne has a long way to go. But like I told him, he was doing what we expected him to do. He was ascending. Hopefully the way he goes now, he keeps going up. All eyes are going to be on him. At the same time you've got a new coaching staff and they're not married to him. ..." Williams and owner Dan Snyder have thus far been the Redskins' only consistent voices since Haskins entered the league. The reboot means whatever divide there might have among team brass over selecting Haskins No. 15 overall a year ago matters much less than what he does moving forward.
