Re: Commanders 2023 Off-Season Thread

Starting to think my plan would be to find a veteran QB in free agency, someone who can start if needed, but ideally would backup and mentor Howell. Someone that won't break the bank. Thinking along the lines of an Andy Dalton type of player. And then add another QB later in the draft to develop.

Welcome to where I am. Dalton or Brissett would be good veteran options.

I agree with this with a caveat if they like a QB anywhere in the draft get him simply because the roster is above average/good. Our roster doesn’t have a lot of immediate needs right now…but do so without moving up.

Ditto.

Brissett is who I mentioned with this exact recommendation. Dalton would be ok too.

Brissett might be the answer.

Re: Commanders 2023 Off-Season Thread

Commanders twitter is bitching about the lack of OC's that are interested in coming here lol... Why would they come coach for a lame duck HC that is 90% fired after next yr barring some miracle playoff run

I'd actually be OK with just giving it to Zampese or Shurmur. I doubt anyone is here more than 1 year anyways.

If Snyder sells the team, one of us could be the OC and I would be happy next season.

I'm under the assumption that no one in the front office or coaching staff will be here in 2024.

Recent on the field results tells us that your assumption will likely prove to be true. I do think though, that if RR can find a coordinator that can get this offense moving as it should - at a level equal to its talent - this team will be right back in the thick of the NFC East race next year. Depending on how things shake out, I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that RR and his staff will be shown the door.

Hard to get a solid OC candidate with a number of HC positions open. People need to be patient, but we know that's not going to happen.

Unlikely he'd come here, and maybe even us interviewing him, but I'd consider Leftwich for OC. He could be good for Howell, especially having worked well with Brady, until this season at least.

I'm surprised Tampa fired Leftwich. He was handpicked by Arians so I thought he would at least get another chance with them. Maybe they know something the public doesn't.

Re: Commanders 2023 Off-Season Thread

That offense was so off this year. I watched a few games, and it was amazing to see the receivers and TB not on the same page so often. Last in the league in rushing. They won a few games due to TB being TB, but that offense just never looked to be anything special. I don't know whose fault it ultimately was, but for me it falls on Leftwich. I'd rather not see him here.

Leftwich had the #3 ranked offense the year Winston was starting for them at QB, and had a top 10 offense until this past year.

If we're talking about the 2019 season, they also had one of the worst defenses in the NFL, so those numbers are likely skewed by the fact that they played from behind all season.

After that, yeah Tom Brady can elevate pretty much any offense... It doesn't explain what happened this year though. He was fired so someone didn't think he was getting it done.

It's not like they don't have talent either. Seems a similar situation as what transpired here actually; not a great O-line, but enough weapons to get it done, and didn't.
