The Facts: The Redskins are banking on a Year 2 improvement from Haskins. Ron Rivera and Co. put most of the eggs in Haskins' basket after eschewing the QB spot at No. 2 overall to take dynamic edge rusher Chase Young in April's draft. One big proponent of Haskins within the organization is Redskins senior vice president of player development, Doug Williams, who praised the young quarterback's arm talent. "I don't care who came out this year, last year, there's not a quarterback that's come out in the last two years that has the ability -- from an arm strength standpoint and arm talent -- that Dwayne Haskins has," Williams said.
Diehards Line:First off, a list of highly-drafted QBs to come out the past two years: Kyler Murray, Daniel Jones, Drew Lock, Joe Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Herbert, Jordan Love and even Jacob Eason has a big arm despite going in the fourth-round in 2020. The question isn't whether Haskins has a cannon. We've seen big-armed QBs fail with regularity. The question for Haskins and the Redskins is whether he can put the rest of it -- the footwork, mental aspect, reducing sacks, etc. -- together to become a top-tier starter. So much of the Redskins' success in 2020 will rise and fall with Haskins' play. Washington hopes to see that beautiful cannon puncturing holes in defenses with far more regularity than the mortar that sprays aimlessly all over the yard.
