I think they are going to get beat like a drum for the next five weeks. So forgive me if I am not buying into this being some sort of renaissance.
I hope Miami beats Cincy in a few weeks, and I hope Cincy drafts Burrows number one leaving us the chance to draft Chase Young. A generational talent.
As for Haskins who knows, it is too early to tell. But today he trended down imo.

Haskins will learn. You can't say he trended down, because he is being given more and taking more throws. As he gets the game speed reps, and first string practice, he will turn it around. I saw a guy who was controlling the game, taking shots, and getting the team going, especially with the game on the line in the 4th quarter. Yes it was the Lions, but those of us who wanted him to come in after the bye wanted it because it was a few games where he could get the feel of live game action against less tough opponents.
The core offense for the next 4 years is in it's embryonic stages, and with Callahan running it, it's very much in a run sheltered cocoon. But the whole point is to guide this young qb into a long term franchise qb. Not to have a miracle showing 3 games into his starting career.
