Dwayne Haskins reflects on tough loss; vows to learn from mistakes
It has admittedly been a tough 24-48 hours for Washington quarterback Dwayne Haskins, who is coming off of one of the worst performances of his NFL career in a loss to the Cleveland Browns, which as left many fans calling for him to be benched after three interceptions on Sunday.
For Haskins though, this is yet another learning experience, and something to build off of in his NFL career. With just 10 starts under his belt, Haskins remains closer to a rookie QB than an established leader, but the outside world doesn’t view things that way. From here on out, he needs to be better, with a lot less room for error.
Haskins admitted as much on Wednesday when talking to media members in Washington. Here are the best quotes from that session.
Dwayne Haskins Jr with the media: Biggest thing is to try and learn from your mistakes and have a positive mindset moving forward, not let it carry over to the next game. #WashingtonFootball

Haskins has a 24-hour rule of looking back at each game. Then, he'll look at the film and then move on to the next game on Tuesday. He is completely focused on the Ravens now.

Haskins said he feels like he has a more mature mindset than when he made his debut against the Giants
(which was also in Week 4 last year) He wants to be someone who can be a reliable player for the offense and feels that can be accomplished.— Zach Selby (@ZachDSelby) September 30, 2020
Haskins said there were some plays where he looked at receivers more than he should have, which made him late to other reads. He had no interceptions in Weeks 1-2 and threw three in Week 3. He wants to show he can play turnover-free football in Wee 4.

Dwayne Haskins says he wants to show his coaches and his teammates that "whatever mistakes that I've made those are behind me"

Haskins doesn't want to listen to anyone's outside opinion of him. Instead he only wants to pay attention to the advice he hears from his teammates and coaches.
