Do you really think TH leapfrogged Allen based on that 1 game?

The contracts are irrelevant in trying to determine who's the QB2 or 3, Allen was paid based on his ERFA status which pays less than the RFA status TH had.

ERFA, RFA and Washington’s quarterbacks

True, but you can also take the view that if they thought Allen was the better #2 option, why offer TH a contract at all, let alone the amount he got?

I reckon their thinking went like this; TH showed well in the TB game and everyone really got behind him. If we lose out in FA and the draft we need a guy to at least start the season everyone can buy into as a potential starter. Allen got hurt badly and hadn't shown a lot to that point, but he knows the system, we know what we have in him and we need the depth at this point. We're at low exposure if we tender him as he has to sign, and if he can't come back from the ankle, then it's a minimal hit.

If I'm right the clear thinking right now is Fitz is #1, TH #2, Allen #3 and Montez will either not survive camp or (as suggested) be tried out at another position. If we do draft a QB again, then they'll likely be going up against Allen for a PS spot (assuming Allen is still eligible).

Yes. Playoff game as well as the one where he came in off the bench.

Hilarious. And lotsa fun. We will throw the ball all over the place next year. Just have to mentally prepare for those INT's too.

At least the defense is enjoyable to watch. I actually look forward to their "turn" on the field.

"He will come in as the No. 1 but there will be a competition"

-Ron on Ryan Fitzpatrick from his presser today

"Competition" coaches love that word, classic coach speak

"I gotta play it fair with Taylor Heinicke, he proved he deserves a shot to compete for the starter. But Fitzpatrick will be tough to beat out."

I can't remember who said this, probably heard it on Sheehan's podcast, but apparently after they lost out on Stafford the conversation immediately turned to let's go get Fitzpatrick. So even though they sniffed around a few other QB's Fitz was always at the forefront of their plan.

He also just said "We may not add another QB this year"

Interesting
