Very rough... hard to say what is what though since rosters are so off.

Have to hope he stays on and is 3rd string all year. Then from there learns the system and grows.

That's the best case scenario. He looked really bad last night though. And I'm a Steelers fan who defended the heck out of him, and thought he was the heir apparent to Big Ben. It didn't look like it. Maybe he still needs time to grow and learn, but the battle between he and Randolph is pretty much over. Dwayne replaces Josh Dobbs as 3rd string and that's about it

Hope he just gets a fair shot. We all know he can sling the pill.

His first training camp in Washington was sabotaged by a coaching staff that didn’t want to draft him, and his second training camp was sabotaged by COVID. He had three different head coaches and four different offensive coordinators in two years at WFT.

Add in just one season as a starter in college and that's tough to overcome.

Eh he looked better the Rudolph for most of the preseason he's probably fine. But probably 3rd string not actives most if not all of the year

This. He looked better than Randolph in limited preseason snaps, but he will not supplant Randolph. And it doesn't seem like he ever was going to. He was competition for Dobbs at 3rd string.

Haskins makes Pittsburgh's 53, which - as much as I hate to say it - was a wise decision. Little harm in keeping him for another year, working with him, given Ben's age and Mason Rudolph definitely not being the heir apparent.

That said, the clock is ticking for Haskins.

“Mason Rudolph has had 4 years to show who he is,” Kinkhabwala wrote. “Dwayne Haskins, ostensibly one play from his 1st game action yesterday, spent warm-ups throwing lousy passes & checking his phone. Ben Roethlisberger may not be who he once was, but there’s a reason he’s your QB, #Steelers fans.”

Haskins was released by the Washington Football Team in December 2020 due to poor play and numerous off-the-field issues.

He made the Steelers 53-man roster back in August after impressing the Pittsburgh brass and even started the final preseason game versus the Carolina Panthers.

“Coach (Mike) Tomlin tells me I get opportunities and this is an opportunity to have one this game and I feel like this is a chance for me to show what I can do and get more reps,” Haskins said. “So I feel like if I do my job I can show that I can perform at a varsity level against varsity defenders and have varsity guys around me know that I’m deserving of those reps.”

:no:

The Pittsburgh Steelers have a quarterback conundrum to solve in the offseason. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh’s starter for roughly two decades, indicated during the year that this was his final season. Sources close to the organization recently helped NFL insider Ian Rapoport piece together how the Steelers will approach their future at the quarterback position. According to Rapoport, current backups Mason Rudolph and Dwayne Haskins will battle it out for the starting job ahead of the 2022 season.

That being said, Pittsburgh is also likely to add a quarterback through the draft. Depending on how the team performs in the playoffs, the Steelers will have, at earliest, the 19th pick in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft. One name to watch, according to Rapoport, is Pittsburgh quarterback and Heisman Trophy finalist Kenny Pickett.

Either way, Rapoport reiterates that Pittsburgh plans to allow Rudolph and Haskins to battle it out for the starting job while drafting a quarterback at some point during the draft to develop for the future.

“Really, I’ve been more concerned about Dwayne the person,” Tomlin said this past summer. “Getting to know him. Getting an understanding of what he’s been through and how that's shaped him, affected him positively, negatively. How it’s affected the growth and development of his game. I think more than anything, Dwayne and I are trying to get to know one another. I think it starts there and then we can focus on some things relative to the game itself.”

Steelers tender quarterback Dwayne Haskins with $2.54M offer

The Pittsburgh Steelers have placed the original-round RFA tender on quarterback Dwayne Haskins. It's worth $2.54 million, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

As a restricted free agent, Haskins can sign that contract and make $2.54 million this season or shop his services to another team. However, Pittsburgh would be able to match any offer that he receives from another team.
