It's very easy to get caught up in the moment. During the team's fourth preseason game, rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins appeared to sort out many of the flaws which had plagued him in the first few exhibitions. With improved footwork and pocket awareness, Haskins looked much sharper and more poised under center.

But if anyone thinks that means he should be starting Week 1 against Philadelphia, they may have lost some perspective of the big picture approach that is best for the young flame thrower.
