OT: Washington Football Team 2020 Season Thread 13: 5th String QB Edition

Skins do?

He is trolling you. Skins have over 20 mil in cap space.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Another trade.

 

[tenken00]

Do we trade Kerrigan still to get something for him before his contract ends or keep him and go all out for the NFC East hunt?

 

[EroCaps]

Mac Jones is a QB to keep an eye on in the 2nd round or trade down scenarios.

Love his game, just wonder about the upside.

I have a hard time seeing them go firesale.....or even some lesser version of it....


Does a 3rd or 4th (if even that high) for Kerrigan seem worth trading away your sack leader and a pretty good guy by most accounts? I say nope....but I would take a 3rd if he wanted to go to a contender for a shot.....he would have to want to go.

I like him too but I'm always hesitant when it comes to 'bama QBs. Tua is the first Alabama QB drafted in the first round since the 70s and the last good NFL QB to come from there is Ken Stabler back in 1968. They just have so much talent that the QBs aren't asked to do much. Jones definitely seems better than A.J McCarron or Greg McElroy but who knows.

The BYU guy, Zach Wilson, is another really intriguing guy to watch. He's 6'3" 210 lbs, very athletic, and can make every throw. He could be a late 1st rounder or early Day 2 pick. Look at this throw... obviously not great mechanics but he literally just flicked his wrist and threw a dime 45 yards for a TD.

There seems to be a lot of QB’s this year for the draft. Odd year.

I’m warming to the Dak idea. Really skewer Dallas

Why Dez signed up to "our" practice squad

 

[Corby78]

i would take CEH over Gibson in a heartbeat

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Eric Reid turn downs coach Rons offer to join the practice team. So much for the black ball. Sounds like he wanted a guaranteed starting spot and didn’t want to compete to make the team.

Wilson is another guy with boom-bust potential worth tracking. He relies a bit too much on his athleticism, though.

I like the way Mac Jones moves around the pocket and makes reads. He reminds me of Brady and Big Ben in that regard.

His arm is suspect but I don't see many dangerous throws. And he hits deep passes. Weird.

I bet one of these guys hits.

Or, you know, he didn't want to be part of the tire fire that is WFT

Wrong.

Try reading the actual dialogue from the player.

Once done, get back to us.

Bye Felicia.

I wonder if that comment came after Reid blew them off. If so seems like a message.

 

[Ridley Simon]

I don’t blame Reid at all. He wants a full squad contract. So he can wait for one if he chooses.

May not come. Or it may. We will see

I don't blame him either. I'm digging more into the possibility of RR's use of the media being strategic, which it seems like it is.

Maybe @Ridley Simon is right and the division will come down to the last game of the season... The Athletic has Washington finishing at 6-10 with a 31.6% chance of winning the division right behind Philly at 6-9-1 with a 39.7% chance at winning the division. This model would have the WFT finishing 2nd in the East with the 8th worst record overall and one of four teams finishing at 6-10, which would leave them selecting anywhere from 8th to 11th in the first round depending on tiebreakers. Model specifics for Washington:

• Make playoffs: 31.6%
• Reach Divisional: 11.3%
• Reach Conf Champ: 2.4%
• Reach Super Bowl: 0.5%
• Win Lombardi: 0.1%

So you're saying there's a chance!

Do divisions winners get moved back for draft slotting?

I can’t remember? I thought it was only the final 4 that were pushed to the last 4 picks, regardless of record.

Or is that not accurate?

Meaning — say the Skins finish 6-10 and win the LEast. Do they automatically get pushed to 25th selection? Or would they still pick like 11th )or wherever they actually finish)

Playoff participationts are automatically slotted in spots 21-32.

6-10 won't matter.

Edit: And division winner doesn't mean anything after that but which round the team is eliminated in (records tiebreaker so 6-10 will matter here).

If they win the East they move down to the 20s. If they don't they stay where their record slots them, depending on tiebreakers. So they'd likely be forfeiting any where from 8 to 12 draft slots depending on how things shake out if they win the division with a 6-10/7-9 record.

 

[marcel snapshot]

If they lose the East by a half-game because RR went for 2, then they will be
a) Unlucky
b) Lucky
Whatever bad team wins the NFC East will have a hella-hard schedule next year, because more of their non-division games will be against actual good teams that finished high in their division.
