Commanders 2023 Free Agency Thread

can a team win a championship with a average QB with these ingredients??
*strong O line ( given time a average QB can be effective)
*solid Running game ( takes pressure off passing)
* solid WR/TE
*Very Good D ( top 10 D?)
We don’t have a Top level QB .. probably won’t get one this year so what are realistic expectations?

Yes and they have. But obviously a strong quarterback helps. Howell may be one btw. He has never lost a game in the NFL!

1-0. If I was him I'd retire with being no worse than tied for the greatest winning % of all times.

I am going to say not really. The only QB to win that was not playing top level in the last decade is Nick Foles and even then. The team was 11-2 with Carson Wentz having a near MVP season. After that you have to go all the way back to 2006 when Rex Grossman was the losing QB with the Bears and that is a moot point. The game has changed so much since 2006.



I think you can make the playoffs. Win the division. Maybe win a playoff game but that is about the ceiling.

Cut Chase R. and Thomas and go get Bobby Wagner.

Too expensive, no need, draft a LB instead. Rather use that money on Curl, Sweat, Young. If anything, trade Samuel, Dyami Brown has good chemistry with Howell.

Jimmy G and Jared Goff both losers.

Forgot about Goff. Jimmy G was co AP offensive player of the year that season though so he was playing at an elite level for that season
