Re: WFT Quarterback Thread - Post SEASON 2021
 

[quote=irish;1278230]I said in a previous post that any success this team had was directly related to AS at QB. If AS doesn't come back this is a 2 or 3 win team.

I'm also happy that they made the playoffs but I'm not letting a playoff appearance blind me to the fact that this team wasn't that good. Looking back at WFT's record the only team they beat only 1 team with a winning record.[/quote]
The season was definitely impacted by 3 major setbacks:
1) no real offseason/preseason - This unsurprisingly hit all the first year head coaches hardest:
Dallas started 2-7 ( 1 win was against the Falcons on the onside kick blunder and one win against the Giants by 3 points)
Giants started 2-7 (both against us, one at least should have gone to overtime)
Cleveland started 5- 3 BUT their 5 wins were against Dallas, Cincinatti two times, Indy, and us
WFT started 2- 7 with a win against Philly, and a win against Dallas

2) Added to that is the new head coach being treated for cancer, literally not being in the halftime meetings for some part of the year.

3) The implosion of Dwayne Haskins on a grand scale, and musical qb's on the minor scale.

With all of that that going on, the team rallied, and seemed to be getting more cohesive as the year went on and with more live practices.

So yes it's true we beat one team with a winning record, but that is an extremely narrow view of how this team performed given the oddities around the 2020 season.

eh he was getting cut regardless, it would be a pretty lazy narrative by someone to tie it to that article

I definitely agree, but lazy journalism - like Cam coming here - abounds in the offseason.

Also, with the slow news cycle, the likes of Grant Paulsen and Chris Russell would love nothing more than to still controversy.

As did Rap sheet, it's all but done

Re: WFT Quarterback Thread - Post SEASON 2021
 

5 teams have called Houston about QB Deshaun Watson, but Washington isnt one of them, per the great
@McClain_on_NFL
.
Not big surprise, WFT unlikely to have the draft capital to compete in that trade market

Has been made clear: they don’t want to overspend (esp with picks) to get someone with a roster they still need to build. Perhaps in another year in a different spot based on how this offseason goes.

It’s nice to have people in charge who know this. I should start a poll....what asinine offers would Bruce or Vinnie have made by now? 🥸

Yeah I don't see them giving up a ton of picks for anyone now, maybe to move up a few spots but thats it
