“Very encouraging,” cornerback Jimmy Moreland said. “It made us feel like we’ve got to support (Dwayne). He’s (the) quarterback of our team. He’s the leader of our team. When he stepped up and said that it made us feel like we’ve got to get behind him.”

That is great to hear

This shows how much Haskins has grown from day 1 - who remember the clip where Haskins begged the Oline to tell him what to do? Now, Haskins needs to show the progress on the field too.

He will.

He progressed even within the Week 1 game too, compare his stats in the second half to the bad first half.

Dwayne knows he has a cannon arm and takes a lot of risks he shouldn't with that arm...so he'll always make some ugly mistakes, but I also think the number of incredible throws he makes will continue to increase.

He and McLaurin are going to be something very special to watch over their careers.

He's also capable of making a few plays with his legs, which he's not really been known for. I can't help thinking that's not an ability thing, more that he hasn't needed to before. He's no Dan Marino at least, as the running game goes.
