QB1 is Dwayne haskins’ job to lose
Ron Rivera believes that the competition between Kyle Allen and Dwayne Haskins will be a really good one, because he's seen how he studies and prepares, he's been in the QB room with a strong personality in Cam Newton and he'll be happy whether he wins the job or is backup #HTTR

Rivera promised us at the start of his tenure that the team planned to bring in a player worthy of competing with Dwayne Haskins for the starting QB role, and they did so with Kyle Allen. Allen spent a couple of years with Rivera in Carolina, and he played well as both a backup and a starting QB when called upon. The team is confident that he has what it takes to step up when called upon, but they also know he has the right temperament to serve as a supportive QB2. He called Allen a “team-first” guy, which is exactly what you need from a backup QB.
