There were a lot of dumb moments in this game. A LOT of them.
But this one is damn historic. Longest QB run in the last 25 years that did not result in a touchdown. Daniel Jones exemplifying the metaphor of "out over your skis" in perfect fashion. In many ways, the NFC East could not have demonstrated the brand better.
Let's start this new blog with a common complaint that the old blog (since wiped off the surface of the internet) had - Daniel Snyder, owner of the Washington Football Team.
The news out of DC is that Dwayne Haskins, the 3rd QB drafted in the first round of the 2019 Draft, is on the outs, and will probably be traded before the end of the month.
This is an all too familiar story for those of us who, for reasons based on events that happened at least 30 years ago, still follow this benighted franchise. While Haskins was never projected to be the next RGIII, the narrative feels familiar.
What's new here is that Haskins has barely been given a chance to show his bona fides before getting tossed out. We're talking about a 23 year old man who has started a grand total of 11 games, under two different OC's.
But the Washington Organization (who always seems determined to step on their own dick) just happened to have this story hit the news, just before announcing they were going to shop the young QB. Oh, a 23 year old QB was immature about his stats? HEAVEN FORFEND.
Which leaves the QB position in Washington down to Kyle Allen, who, based on statistics, should probably not be in the NFL, and Alex Smith, who, based on statistics and just general humanity, should probably not be on the field ever again, are the only two QB's Washington will field?
Oh, yeah, and the guy leading this scorched earth policy to the most important position on the field is first year, cancer-stricken Head Coach, Riverboat Ron.
Turning a Top-15 Pick into a 5th Round via trade is such a Washington move, that I'm almost proud of Rivera for glomming onto the Dan Snyder Culture this quickly.
Welcome to the blog, babies.
