I cannot believe you seriously thought he might not declare lol

I don’t necessarily disagree with your point about coaching but I’ll argue that none of the 3 teams you mentioned are consistently in the playoffs. The goal isn’t a one off appearance. Even Jay managed that. To be a consistent winner, you gotta have to have that position locked down. Browns have been looking forever. Luckily they have Flacco on a heater right now. Steelers are a good example for coaching’s importance. They’ve been over .500 the last few years solely bc of Tomlin imo. But they haven’t been a real threat since Ben retired. And the Colts have been a disaster since Andrew Luck decided to value health over football.

But that’s why this opportunity is so great. Unlike RG3 or Bryce Young, there’s no king ransom to pay. It’s a potential franchise QB falling right in your lap with minimal risk long term. I would totally get the hesitation on trading up. But this situation is almost perfect. Also, Kenny Pickett is hurt. And I really think our fans underrate how bad Sam was last year. He’s not getting another opportunity outside of injury. His numbers were atrocious and the last 6 or so games pretty much wrecked any good he put on tape prior to that. It’s literally just not going to happen. He was that bad. There was no consideration of the Texans rolling with Davis Mills (who had put up comparable if not better stats than Sam to that point) instead of drafting Shroud last year. There was no consideration of rolling with Minshew (who was legitimately good and won games) instead of drafting Lawrence in Jacksonville circa 2021. This is not a thing, guys. Especially when the folks in charge have zero ties to Sam. I don’t even get why it’s a topic but I guess that’s the “extreme” part

It just doesn’t compute in my brain. Every time a coach or GM is fired now, the root cause is tied back to the lack of a QB. I don’t see how anyone could think they’d wait on that especially since that is is what just doomed Ron. If for whatever random reason Williams stays then WSH is taking Daniels. There’s no debate to me. That’s the NFL.

If they don’t hit on a QB within the first 3 seasons, they’ll all be fired. They are not gonna wait to do so. I guess understand fan angst but RG3 and Chase Young will be the last thing on their minds. That has nothing to do with Adam Peters. I mean the Texans drafting David Carr 1 overall didn’t stop them from taking Shroud last year

I recently renewed my PFF subscription because they’re really good with their draft content. I did not realize that Sam graded out to be the 50th ranked passer in 2023. Even including backups. 57.6 passing grade. That combined with his QBR and EPA numbers being extremely low has me thinking a smart, analytical GM like I assume Peters is might be totally out on Sam. I mean I didn’t realize his numbers had gotten that bad. He was legit one of the worst QBs in the league last year. At this point, there’s zero chance they run it back with him so that debate is dead. Now I wonder if he’s even the backup next year. Legitimately. What would be the selling point? He’s young? So will the new guy. Wouldn’t be surprised if they bring another vet in.

It guarantees nothing but it really feels good to see a sound process in place. To see this franchise attack success and land the top young talent. We haven’t had that in a while. And even crazier…they want to come here. Adam Peters is widely considered a top football executive who has worked in multiple great organizations and he wanted to come here. Sure seems like Ben Johnson has a decent shot at coming here. Again, I’m always going to temper Washington Football Team expectations but this feels pretty damn cool.

Manziel ran for like 1400 yards or something nuts one year in college. Sam isn’t Manning level slow or anything but he’s not nearly a dynamic enough runner for any of that. I was hoping for more designed runs around the goal line tho for sure. But that was not translating to the NFL. 700 yards would have had him in MVP discussions. Mind you that he elected to skip the 40 at the combine.
