The Commanders want a star quarterback. Do any star QBs want the Commanders?
, who two seasons ago essentially was run out of Philadelphia in favor of decidedly unproven Jalen Hurts, then last year took the NFL’s best running game and failed to deliver the Colts to the playoffs.
Tony Banks leads to Mark Brunell, who gives way to Jason Campbell, who is replaced by Donovan McNabb, who is benched for Rex Grossman, who begets a trade up in the draft for Robert Griffin III, who gets hurt, gets healthy and eventually gets benched for Kirk Cousins, who signs elsewhere, so the team trades for Alex Smith, who suffers a devastating injury and is replaced by Case Keenum, but the team also drafts Dwayne Haskins, who lasts six starts under new coach Ron Rivera, who ends up signing...
On the first front: Since the last of its three Super Bowl titles following the 1991 season, Washington has drafted 14 quarterbacks, from Chris Hakel in the fourth round in 1992 to Haskins in the first round in 2019. They have combined to win one playoff game as starters — and that was Cousins for Minnesota, after he moved on from Washington.
So Wentz becomes Rivera’s way to kick the can down the road. His arrival won’t end the questions about who the long-term quarterback will be, because Washington can cut him after the 2022 season and be free and clear of any future salary cap implications. Maybe that’s better than tying your cart to one of the reclamation project quarterbacks who will be out there in free agency — Mitch Trubisky or Jameis Winston or Marcus Mariota or the like.
Don’t even go down the road that has the Commanders both trading for Wentz and taking a quarterback in the first round — and having the season go awry anyway. In a worst-case scenario, that could lead to a change at coach and in the front office, which would lead to a new regime having to develop and evaluate an iffy quarterback, which would just continue this bottomless cycle. Ugh.
