Rumor mill's abuzz with visions of Kirk Cousins and Russell Wilson dancing in the sugar plum fairies' heads.
It would be nice to see Kirk again. Maybe he mentions D.C. as a possibility because he is looking to get a coaching gig. He'd be a good coach. Washington has some brains on staff. Maybe he's thinking I get a playoff run. Pick those self-same brains. Then see who needs a young coach.
But I think he's too banged up sad to say.
Russ has a rep as a prima donna. But he is a veteran QB. He has worked with DQ. These are two devils who know each other. His detractors say he's not a seven-footer. He's Flutie II. Too small to play QB. Won a Super Bowl and he's too small?
He produces. I don't care if he's Ant-Man.
I am all in on Veteran QBs. You saw what Jacoby did last year. They'd be smooth to start Jacoby. But pattern blindness rules in the NFL. They want Flash Gordons and the New Wonder Boys. When the Vets can get you to the Super Bowl. A.K.A., Billy Kilmer. Doug Williams. Tom Brady.
The thing that is ruinous in Washington is the idea that it is OK for whoever comes in here to LOSE. It is not OK to lose. I'm not giving these guys any slack whatsoever. The goal is to win the Super Bowl. And before that make the Playoffs. And before that win as many games as you can.
Your deadline is today.
People say we tanked deliberately last year so we could get the Number 2 Spot. We have to have the Wonder Boy. For what? More losing? You see your projected win total with Wonder Boy? Funny how tanking reproduces itself.
There is always some future undisclosed time in an undisclosed location when and where the Washington Football Franchise will be victorious once again. It is stupid to want to win when contemplating the football heaven that will one day come.
Radio bull hockey. There are guys here who want to win. Let them go. Before free agency. They're too good for you. They got better things to do with their time than play Lego and Tonka Toys with your Wonder Boys.
I don't personally have time to watch yet another Boy QB struggle with the blitz. With reading defenses. Most of the QBs coming out today don't read defenses at all. They read grass. The mathematics at the line of scrimmage has been deleted in College in favor of speed and intuition.
College Coaches used to have some time to teach some of the Pro Game. Not today. Not with the transfer portal. You draw the play in the ground and go.
I mean, I see what the Air Raid Dudes are saying. Who has time to do the NFL's job for it? It is mind pollution. Gunks up the engine. We want to win. My guys go full throttle. Everybody go long. If the middle opens up run it like Josh Allen. Otherwise heave it deep.
It's an oversimplification. But losing to develop the latest phenom is an overcomplication especially if there are Vets out there who CAN read defenses and CAN get the ball in the end zone just as quick as the grass cutters.
I can see drafting maybe Joe Milton. In the later rounds. Give him a few years to study. Then Kliff Kingsbury takes him to the Giants and they win Super Bowls. Competing mainly against Sam Howell and the Jets.
If the new staff is here to develop, it is Rivera 2.0. He was quite the development, too. I ain't gonna bother spending money on them if that is the case.
We need offensive linemen more than we need Wonder Boy Quarterbacks.
