His comp percentage looks glossy. Coures he's averaging 6.3 yards per pass with a long gain of 18 yards. He's also led the Skins to 0 points. have the Skins even come up with a first down with him at th helm?

I think this is what we will have to live with, to be honest. Wentz has not looked "horrible", but he hasn't looked great either. "Average" would be a good description. He has not been careless with the ball, but he hasn't really pushed it either. I am guessing some of this is the vanilla playcalling. There again, Baker Mayfield and especially Patrick Mahomes were successful in what appeared to be "vanilla" offenses.

That being said, the 3rd and 10 sack was unacceptable for a player with his experience. He has always had a reputation of holding on to the ball too long, so it was disappointing to see that habit show up so early in the preseason. At this point, the scouting reports and testimonials are pretty accurate. Despite all of his talent, he is his own worst enemy and struggles with his decision-making.

I believe he will be better than TH, but that isn't the goal, nor should it be what we aim for. We shouldn't hang our hat on simply finding an improvement over the prior poor player/coach. We should be looking for long-term effective answers as an organization, not a short-term upgrade. I believe Wentz will be an average QB for us and that we will need to move on next year. If Wentz still had untapped potential, if he was viewed as a long-term franchise QB in the NFL, and if he was viewed as a capable leader to lead an offense, we would NOT have been the only call the Colts got.

Given that our defense has several red flags at this time, as previously pointed out, we will need the offense to score a lot of points. The defense will cost us games and we will need to score. I don't think Wentz gets us that offensive boost we need. We will need elite QB play to mask the defensive issues in various games. Wentz is not an elite QB.

I cannot understand why Rivera is playing starters in Game 3. Again, he seems to be stubborn about things and this one is a head-scratcher. We like to slam Gruden, but Gruden had a winning season here in his 2nd season and had winning seasons in 2 of his first 3 years. Rivera has yet to secure a winning season here. I have no confidence in his decisions.

Hopefully, we will look back in a few years and this will be a low point for us in having Rivera and Wentz at the same time. I feel like Clark Griswold in "Christmas Vacation" when he tells Eddie "I can't believe you are actually standing in my living room". My version is: "I can't believe Carson Wentz is our starting QB for 2022".

the weird think is i thought erikson would do well vs punt returns and kicks yet he has struggled , and i thought he would struggle on offense where in games he has excelled

if holmes gets cut he will go to the PS i am certain

i like reeves but position flex could rule him out

he is a PS guy if he he is eligible

Parker could make it over Reeves. I agree. I cant believe Homes is on the outside looking in. What has Johnson or Elder shown?

Commanders coach Ron Rivera expects Antonio Gibson to be the team's primary kick returner this season.​

"You still need to see some more stuff, but you know, I think he is," Rivera said. "I do. I think he's done a nice job.” This only furthers confusion over what exactly Gibson's 2022 usage is going to be. The Athletic's Ben Standig reported Tuesday that Gibson remains the "best bet" to lead Washington's backfield in touches, but that is not typically the kind of player you would expose to dangerous kick return reps. Gibson has also practiced with the punt team. Although there is still upside somewhere in the equation, Gibson is a highly-volatile RB2 option, one best treated as a risk/reward FLEX at this point.


You still think he is RB1?

So, 1-2 series is going to make a difference? What if someone gets hurt. I wouldn't do it. Too risky, reward is very small.

It's football dean, be scared if you want but the game comes with risk ALL THE TIME! Our offense and defense needs more REAL work against an opponent period. Doesn't matter, they won't be in long.
