I understand exactly what you have said that I don't. In fact, regarding this matter, I wrote of the "very well deserved stupid tax" that they would have to pay in order to trade for a featured QB on this team.
However, I'm willing to take the hit on your point and concede to the idea that no QB of value wants to play here, but I do so with one caveat... a like concession that Carson Wince didn't refuse to come here, therefore, using whatever your standard for "quality" is as used in your post, he isn’t that!!
Now, with respect to upgrading over TH, (I've used this before) if you have a QB ranked at 30 out of 32 starters and you claim to have upgraded by getting a guy ranked at 28, technically you have upgraded but to what end??
Let's dig a little deeper into the QB situation. Again conceding no "quality" veteran QB wants to come here. Ok, so what, beyond their own fear, has stopped them from getting one via the draft?? (They had opportunities)
I agree that winning play a big role in "culture change" however, when your standard for decades is mediocre or worse and you have no idea how to change that, what exactly are you doing to win???
Wentz was traded here, and absolutely couldnt refuse to go anywhere, even here. Not with the way his season ended as badly as it did.
I dont know if TH was ranked 30th and wentz was ranked 28th, and by what metrics they might be ranked. I do know that Wentz can make the throws that TH cant. 28th to 30th is an upgrade. Also, none of the other free agent possible qbs (meaning not russell wilson or aaron rodgers) has had a season like wentz did in 2017.
The redskins tried fo get one in the draft. Haskins. He sucked. They tried before that. Rg3. He was awesome for 60% of a season. They drafted a potential futre qb in Howell. He was awesome last year with weapons.
The redskins are trying to sign their own players and draft wisely as a way to build a consistent winner.
