We have seen this Franchise ruin young QBs by playing them too early, or behind a bad lines (Haskins, RG3, Campbell, Ramsey). Our best QBs have developed when slowly giving them experience (Thiesmann, Rypien, Cousins). Throwing Howell to the wolves will not help him long term. If he plays a game or 2, that is fine, but not an extended amount of time. Also, if we play Howell, and he plays like Wentz, or worse than Wentz, how to we evaluate that? Is he bad? Is the team Bad? We know what Heinicke is, so playing him lets us evaluate Wentz better as well.

Washington is not a place a lot of coaches want to go. All the mistakes of this year ARE on the front office and the coaching staff, which is running the whole show. But, since Washington is viewed as an awful place to coach, I feel you have no alternative. You have to just stick Ron out longer. It gives him a chance to learn from his mistakes, and it gives the feeling to other future coaches that Dan will stay hands off and let the coach run things.

Rivera should have never made that comment. Seems to me he is feeling insecure about his job, and is trying to deflect. Yeah, Carson has not been who some expected him to be, but he is exactly what I expected. The main reason for the Commanders offensive struggle is the offensive line. Rivera pretty much cleaned house on a solid WAS offensive line, got all new players that were former Panthers, and they have sucked. Carson would be better if he was protected more. Carson actually needs more protection than most due to how he holds the ball a fraction longer. Yeah, that is on him, but they should have known that when they got him. Carson has less time to throw than most QBs (maybe all of them). Rivera is pointing blame to prevent getting fired himself.

Reading this reminded me how much I used to love the old features, like top ten most recently discussed threads across all forums, the user sign in map, the player data base, flaming logo, ect.

??? What did you find?
