Commanders 2023 Off-Season Thread

[Chico23231]

Yet another typical couple days of being a Washington fan:

Saturday - Bezos not allowed to bid on Commanders

Monday - Washington Post: Dan Snyder and his attorneys demand that fellow NFL franchise owners/league "indemnify him against future legal liability and costs if he sells the team."

Tuesday early AM - Franchise tag placed on Daron Payne

Tuesday morning - ESPN: Disputed $55M loan at center of probe into Commanders

Bout sums it up. Hard to keep up with 15 years of scandals and weak ass football. I literally can't believe Goodell and the other owners have protected him this long.

Now you can add this: Tuesday afternoon - Rivera backtracked and said Howell isn't our starter.

I don't have any problem with his statement:

“He’s not our starter. He’s coming in as QB1 and he’ll get a chance to be the starter.”

That's what he's said from the start.

Can't just anoint him.

I disagree. As a big fan of anointing people, I think Howell should be next in line. Did you see that dub against the Cowboys? Christ on a cracker what a performance. It wasn't even close! Who was the last Manders starter to beat the Cowboys by 3 scores? Crown his ass Ron.

QB1 and starter aren't the same?

This is a nothing-burger and it is just coach-speak.

He's QB1 by default for now

Not surprised, Ron has to win asap and SH has played 1 game. I wonder who they will bring in to compete

It would be dereliction to say he's the starter. He's QB1 right now because he's the only QB. He will have one - maybe two other QBs to compete with, and he will have to win that competition to be named the starter.

Most of us hope he does because if he doesn't, then we are likely right back where we started.

Not really. QB -1 in February, before free agency, the draft, and camp even begin is nothing more than a designation. Week one starter wont be named until August.
It is Sams job to lose, but he could lose it.

Still an advantage for Sam. Would have to really be outplayed to lose the job.

If Richardson looks good throwing the ball at the combine alot of eyes are going to be on him, including our staff. Im rooting for Sam because of what Chief alluded to. It is just a pick we can use elsewhere if he balls out but I want the best possible quarterback out there week 1 and if Richardson looks great during all this hoopla and is there at 16 decisions would have to be made. Nothing wrong with having two good young quarterbacks on board.

Wentz is available…..

We now have over 27% of the cap going to the D line. It will be over 30 if they exercise Young's 5th year option.
