"Nothing that's been an issue this season...but that's their prerogative", is not exactly a ringing endorsement.

Now he has people saying that they moved him to IR because he just had a kid and he wanted to be home with his family? Seems really strange to do that considering there are 4 games left and the Falcons still have a shot to win their division. There's also the chance that Mariota would have been able to play again this year.

That's the kind of guy I wouldn't want anywhere near this team. At least Wentz took his benching in stride and has been a pro. What a coward move to quit on your team because you were benched.

Alex Smith was a below average starter in his 16 games with Washington. Was he better than Heinicke in his prime? Absolutely. His QBR over his 16 game stretch averaged out to a measly 37.3. In games where his QBR was below 50, the team was 7-3. They won in spite of him much like the team is winning right now in spite of Heinicke's limitations. I just think it's crazy that people are speculating about benching him when there's no better answer on the roster at this time.

Considering that an Alex Smith led team in Washington never beat a team that dropped 18 or more points, this current team would be 4-9 under that scenario. And that was with a 16 TD to 13 INT ratio. Smith was turning the ball over in his starts. There is a bit of revisionist history when it comes to him because "WE WERE 6-3!"

It was in response to someone who said "anyone but Heinicke".

The wheels were starting to fall off in that Texans game where he was injured. He was terrible in that game. Also, the team couldn't beat anyone who put up more than 17 points, and the first time there was a lead change came in that Texans game...when Colt McCoy entered the game.

No. I am suggesting that you do not go back to Wentz barring an injury to Heinicke.

Alex Smith's offense in 2018 was averaging 19.7 points per game. No one in their right mind would have uttered that he should be benched. Not even at 6-4 had he not gotten injured. If your argument to go back to Wentz is because you truly believe that no starter should lose their job to injury, that's fair. I disagree, but it's fair. But I see no real argument otherwise for going back to Wentz. Their starting center is injured. He is a statue. Sam Howell is not ready. Logan Thomas?

Yeah it's averaging out the numbers over the course of 17 games.

The Giants just got routed by the Eagles. Last year after their bye week was when the team went on a 4 game win streak. I think they win this one relatively easy. Commanders: 24 Giants: 17

According to Pro Football Reference, Heinicke, over the course of a 17 game season, would be on pace to have 24 total touchdowns to 17 total turnovers. Not good. Wentz was on pace for 28 total touchdowns and 20 total turnovers. Also not good. There is no simple fix on this roster at this moment. It might be Howell, but not this year.

This is reassuring, but I can't shake the caveat that they have thrown in with the exploration of a sale: he could be looking for minority partners and not actually selling the team completely.

It was in reference to people positing that they could make and win the Super Bowl this year. I was extremely optimistic that he was selling the team after the cheerleading scandal, then I thought there was no way he could survive the Washington Post bombshell, and now I'm at the point where I think it's a 50/50 shot that he's going to sell willingly or by force. The NFL continues to point out that the team was hit with the largest fine for a team in NFL history, his suspension, etc. I'm hopeful that the leaking of the Gruden e-mails is what does him in, but I am not in the "he's definitely selling" camp.

I think Wentz actually has a decent chance of a career resurgence somewhere, but it's going to have to be similar to Tannehill. He's going to have to go somewhere as the backup and eventually earn his way back to the starting role. Derek Carr might be able to do this as well. I think they are very similar quarterbacks. I think Rivera is going to do what he did last year: be very aggressive at getting a quarterback. But I don't necessarily think he has to be. We have Howell. There's the draft. I wouldn't mind taking the "safe" route if there was no QB in the draft that they loved: sign Gardner Minshew & Heinicke, and have them compete with Howell for the starting job in 2023. I kind of wanted them to trade for Minshew back in 2021 to compete with Heinicke.

It just reinforces the fact that he has meddled with this team forever, and all of that talk about "no he's really stepped away from the football side of things" when Bruce was hired was all bull****. Every player he has personally handpicked has been an unmitigated disaster...save RG3's rookie year.

I got the thumbs down reaction in another thread for saying this team will never win a Super Bowl with Snyder. How much more evidence do you need of his meddling over the last 23 years to convince you otherwise? He can't pick quarterbacks. He can't pick running backs. He can't anything. And when the football people actually do hit on people worth keeping...he lets them go for nothing.

Looks like Carr will be available. Hell to the no for him coming here.

Also, my favorite thing about the Snyder/GOP response is how they are trying to paint Allen as the one who ran the day to day operations...and then on the very last page they have Snyder's testimony where he is asked about Allen making hiring decisions...and Snyder tells them that Allen would call him before hiring or firing...meaning he was the one ultimately in charge of the day to day operations.

Snyder keeps pointing the finger at Bruce Allen, saying he was the Team President when most of these allegations took place. Okay, no argument from me on the merits of Bruce Allen being a scumbag. He 100% is. But is Snyder stupid enough to think we can't look up dates? Most of the allegations that were printed in the bombshell Post story were before Allen was ever hired! It does seem like most of the financial impropriety allegations against him are going to lead nowhere. Hopefully the other owners grow spines and vote this little monster out next week.

Snyder torpedoing the Trent re-signing is yet another piece of evidence that this team will never (and you can use all caps) win a Super Bowl with Snyder.

This team is not a quarterback away from winning a Super Bowl. They will never win one with Dan Snyder as the owner. Never.

They lost two of their starters going into this season?

Are we getting the offensive line from the Colts as well? Because without them, Heinicke enters the conversation.

Is he lucky...or as everyone continues to point out, just wildly inaccurate?
