Allen isn't playing anytime soon. Rivera is playing the long game here, he's not going to have a quick hook. And I also don't think Haskins has been the disaster some seem to think.
Pretty good breakdown here that made me feel better about him after reading it:
Inside View: Dwayne Haskins fights with inconsistency in loss at Arizona
Just a little sample if you don't subscribe to The Athletic:

Overall, it was a frustrating performance from Haskins because of a young quarterback’s up and down nature working through the necessary bumps and bruises as he learns how to play quarterback at the NFL level. There were definitely some negative plays that he needs to correct, including ongoing issues like missed deep throws and lacking touch on certain passes. Running into sacks from a clean pocket is something that simply cannot continue for Haskins going forward. However, there were signs of very good quarterback play from Haskins too, with good mental processes leading him to quick reads, good ball placement on shorter passes, and manipulating defenders with his eyes to open up routes. Progress for a quarterback isn’t necessarily linear, so expect more bumps in the road going forward, but there are positive signs in there too.
