I would like to have kept Tim Settle. He is young and he could spell the starters and keep heat on the opposing quarterback. Also you keep him in case of injuries. Maybe they think they can pick up a cheaper Tim Settle off the scrap heap before the season begins.

So the brain trust let the market decide JD Mckissic fate so today he goes to Buffalo. Now we have another hole to fill.

My point was to go for someone from a winning organization which I mentioned two other NFL teams who draft better than we do and then as a third option keep Kyle Smith. So far the current brain trust in Ashburn is not doing so great by any measure you could select.

Ron's big mistake was surrounding himself with General Manager buddies who have no ability to scout talented players. He should have gone with a younger GM who worked for a winning organization like Patriots or Steelers and mentored the guy to become the next Bobby Beathard. Hiring your friends never works out. Snyder's patience after this season will be gone and Ron will be heading back to his home in sunny California to watch NFL games on television. He should have kept the young guy who he let go and who then was hired quickly by the Atlanta Falcons. Odds makers in Vegas lowered our chances of winning the Super Bowl AFTER signing Carson Wentz.

This morning a reporter wrote the following about Wentz " Carson averages one turnover per game. Based on 85 starts he had 57 interceptions and he lost 28 out of 66 fumbles."

Washington Times article today states that Wentz averages one turnover per game. With 85 starts he threw 57 interceptions and lost 28 out of 66 fumbles.

He and Kirk Cousins refused to get the vaccine shot. I am worried about his leadership abilities to lead a team. The players liked Heinke last year. I wonder if our defensive players will rally around Wentz or tell the Head Coach they want Heinke behind center if Wentz cops an attitude in the locker room.

Its possible that Riverboat Ron thinks he can "fix" what's wrong with Carson Wentz. I think its a real long shot. Sports writers in Philly have called Wentz a complete narcissist and not a team leader. I can see the situation where half the players support Heinke and the other half starting the season might support the new guy coming in. For a guy who keeps claiming he is a culture guy I wonder how much the General Manager and his assistants discussed with Ron that this guy has not been a team player. Also he has thrown 3 passes in post season games and this is his sixth year in the NFL.

A lot of Carson's issues are in his head and not his ability to function as a quarterback. In addition he has had concussion issues. He thinks no one can tell him how to play quarterback. He is intelligent but he had issues getting along with players on the Eagles. He needs to come to DC with a better attitude or else he will be one year and done.

Riddle me this- If you are a free agent wide receiver are you more inclined to consider joining the Commanders because Wentz is the quarterback or would you be less inclined to tell your agent you will sign with the Commanders?

News reports from Philly were that he did not get along with teammates, that he was arrogant with coaches and would not accept criticism. Dallas and Philly fans are laughing hard right now. This was a panic move which should have been avoided. So disappointed now. At one point Doug Pederson and Carson would not speak to each other. Why do we always hire some other teams garbage? Years ago when we hired Norv Turner we got several ex-Cowboys who were over the hill and later we released all of them.

The Eagles are laughing at us today and for the rest of next season. Hope we will be drafting a rookie quarterback. He failed with two different teams. This is why you cannot let a defensive minded Head Coach pick your quarterback. You need a General Manager who can spot talent.

We have not had a decent talent evaluator since Bobby Beathard. Where is the next Bobby Beathard? We need to find the next Beathard and if he is on another team try to lure him to DC.

Have to find a quarterback in this draft or next year's draft. Use our picks this year to improve other weaker positions on this team.

Winning goes a long way in helping a fan base get excited about their football team. Losing is so destructive for the fan base.

Do not mind if Trubisky goes to Indy. Do not want Wentz in Washington.

I really wonder if Mayhew knows what he is doing. I get that the teams reputation is not great. Will he ever make a trade this year?

On the radio this morning they said Teddy will be the starting quarterback for the Broncos.

Question if this year's draft is not supposed to have great college quarterbacks coming out then is it possible that the following year would have a better crop of NFL ready quarterbacks who might be worth waiting for instead if we could get some higher draft picks after this draft by trading some of our players for future picks? Some years the experts will say this is a draft of really good linemen for example. Other years you will hear that its a different position that is really exploding for teams to select.

Another free agent quarterback is now off the available chart- radio report this morning that Teddy Bridgewater will be Broncos starting quarterback

Just heard on the radio the Broncos plan to sign Teddy Bridgewater to be their starting quarterback.

I would stay away from Jimmy G now that we know he is having shoulder surgery. It would be our luck that if we took him he would get hurt in the shoulder on the first game of the year.

I would like to get Vander Esch to be our next middle linebacker. He has had some injuries but he can really hit running backs hard and plug up the middle of our defense. Not sure if he is still on the Cowboys roster. Hope he is a free agent now.

I subscribe to Mark Bullock's emails about the team. Today he analyzed Mitchell Trubisky. He said he would take Jameis Winston over Trubisky and Marcus Mariota over him as well. Here is his last sentence- "In terms of what he's put on film, Trubisky would be more of a Plan F or G than a Plan B for me". He did say that Rivera has ties to the football people in Buffalo if he needs to get feedback about him.

If he blows the quarterback selection he could be out by the end of next season. This fan base has been through so much change over the years it will be braced for more bad decisions by the Danny.
