And it gives me trust issues with him. Never like to be on the receiving end of someone's "I really mean that" following a compliment or vote of confidence- usually is the kiss of death. That said, I really do believe that Rivera hopes Wentz is the long term answer at QB- I really mean that. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he’s lying about that either. I didn’t believe they would really dump him. I figured there was substance to Irsay being pissed about the vax/covid/end of season stuff but figured cooler heads would prevail. With no QB behind Carson and no first round pick, it was outright insane to part with him. I’d imagine Reich and Ballard hated every part of it - because Irsays emotions just made their lives a lot harder.

I took it as an acknowledgement that most things said to the media are “coach speak”. And this isn’t. But you can’t really say “I usually lie to you guys at least a little bit but this time I’m not” lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or from a guy who came up with a bad habit within his speech and he says it in conversation. I could easily pretend that every time someone says "uhm" that they don't have a clear thought and are therefore on my "pay no mind" list. Bad speech habits happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the exact quote? ... Found it: "What I’m trying to do is be as honest as I can, and I don’t normally do that because I don’t really think it’s anybody’s business except the guys in our locker room," - Mike Shanahan, December 11th, 2013. (It was about Robert and why he was benching him, I think.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Est.1974 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) Rivera is happy as a hog in **** that we got Wentz. That’s clear enough really. Interested to see where we turn next. Keep going back to receiver and the vertical game. Could we take a chance on Fuller ??? And Allen Robinson to the Rams. Holy ****. And Mayfield request a trade.

Voice_of_Reason Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Something to point out on the QB front: Washington HAS to sign 2 QBs in some way shape or form before OTAs and mini-camps. Because they need the arms to hold practice. Also, Wentz has shown that he does have some durability issues. Last year, TH was healthy, and that's great, but he also had some history of durability issues. I don't know how we're going to get 2 more QBs. I'd place a pretty good bet one of them is going to be an UDFA. And be destined to either be cut entirely or end up on the practice squad. The other ... Ron has gone into both years with 3 QBs on the roster. We used 4 QBs in both 2020 and 2021. I have to imagine they are looking to bring in somebody who can compete with TH for the backup job, and probably end up as an "on the roster inactive 3rd string guy." Maybe that person beats out TH, maybe he doesn't. My guess is the draft, but there are still plenty of second/third tier QBs available in FA who they could bring in as well. If they could trade back from 11 and pick up a 3rd round pick, I'd be willing to bet they would draft Ridder or Strong (probably Ridder) if he's available in the second or third. I think Strong is going to be the last of the 6 QBs off the board (Pickett, Willis, Corral, Howell, Ridder and Strong.) So maybe he's there and they grab him. I don't THINK any of those guys will slide to the 4th. But if one of them does, I'd be shocked if they didn't pick one of them. But regardless of anything else, here's what we know right now about the QB depth chart: QB1: Wentz. Only other QB on the roster: Taylor Heinicke. And we KNOW that has to change because you can't hold training camp with 2 QBs. And most likely, they would like a 3rd string QB on the roster somehow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Est.1974 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I believe QB in the draft is a forgone conclusion. The thing that is going to impede our draft strategy is a poor FA period....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingdaddy Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 2 hours ago, Voice_of_Reason said: But I can absolutely see a world where the Commanders DESPERATELY WANT to trade down, but nobody wants to trade up. Which is why I think we're picking at 11. Could be wrong on that, we won't know until the draft starts to unfold, but the odds are they will pick somebody at 11. Well, if what you're trying to say is that you need a partner to trade with to make a trade then I would have to agree with that. And if they don't have a trade partner then I would also agree that the odds are very high that they'll make a pick at 11 since that's where they are slotted to draft.

Darth Tater Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 1 hour ago, NickyJ said: I wonder what it would be like for a coach to trade a few picks for a guy, then say "he is our QB 1 going forward but I hope to see this be a very short tenure and I really mean that." Would the QB be in the corner of the room crying? Jared Goff would have the closest experience to it, but he also has wads of $500 bills to wipe his tears with. No, because if we'd somehow had gotten Wilson without giving up our 1, Rivera should be saying the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
