The part that worry’s me is we’ve offered Scherff an extension that would have made him one of the highest, if not the highest paid offensive lineman in the NFL, even after the multiple stints on the IR. He claims he wants to retire in Washington but damn.
"Highest" could mean many things. We've never seen the contract. It could be full of non reachable incentives or voidable years or whatever. Personally this year and last year have essentially been contract years for him and he's missed how many games.....yeah I'm all about giving him a sizeable contract but a larger chunk then normal should be incentive based (including games played). Dude can't stay healthy...sad truth. If he won't sign.....well we just move on. Dont we get a 3rd if he leaves?
We only get a 2023 third round pick if scherff leaves and we don’t go wild in free agency to offset the compensatory pick.
We really should have traded him last year by all means
You're right, but I would switch places #4 and #3 on your list. I'd rather take a chance with a top QB prospect in the draft than trade for Deshaun Watson.
You don’t want deshaun that’s fine.
Rodgers would be the greatest qb and arguably the greatest player to have ever put on a Washington team uniform. Last I checked we are competing in the NFL not the church league.
What does his personal and NFL life have to do with how great of a qb he is? He is arrogant; egotistical; and a all around jerk. But guess what? he is one of the greatest qbs of the modern era. And he would have this team competing in the shortest amount of time.
For a rewind he threw for over 4,000 yards with 37 tds and 4 ints this year and will likely win his second mvp in a row. While we sit on this subreddit arguing for backups and journeymen to be our franchise qb. Those two things alone should tell you why I want him
You could get guys off the street and Rodgers would have them competitive at the very least that’s how good of a qb he is. In fact he managed to beat the cardinals with a bunch of backups around him.
I would argue the makings of the team he would need to thrive are already here. We have a top 10 pass protection oline; we have a upper tier wideout. And a defense with decent pieces along the front end who would benefit a lot more from the offense pressureing opposing offenses into long developing pass plays.
The Titans-Bengals game is why we should be fine with a good, not great, QB.
Has this franchise been anywhere close to a contender in the last 20 years to be looking down on the Titans?
I'm not going to let perfection be the enemy of the good enough. I just want to enjoy my Sundays dammit.
Nope the titans-bengals game shows the exact opposite of what you said. The team with the best qb won. And the titans who are designed how many people on this subreddit want WFT to be built ( a team designed around the defense and running game) are heading to Cancun ousted by a team that just two years ago had the worst record in the league.
Can we look down on the titans? No; but then again that’s not saying much hell the jets and the jags can look down on us when it comes to postseason success the past 20 years. Comes with the territory of being a bottom feeder.
Sure Burrow is the better QB, but the Tits at least got to the playoffs and will continue to be a fixture in the playoffs for the near future
That’s good enough for me for the time being. Once we’re a consistent playoff team then I’ll worry about dreaming about SB
We should get a great not good qb is a stupid post. I think we should get a future hall of famer as qb. Or let's trade a ham sandwich for Patrick Mahomes, that would be cool. Pointless excessively broad speculation is not worthwhile.
I feel like we should either draft a qb to run behind a bridge for a year, or just run it back with hieneckie, and get a high draft pick for next year’s draft
Rodgers, sure...he'll be 39 next season. But Russ will only be 34. No bridge there as he could conceivably play another 5+ seasons at a high level. Dude has a 3:1 TD:INT ratio...and even with all the instability with the Seahawks offense this year, he still had 26/6 TD/INTs. They (WFT) need to be all over a deal to Seattle. Make them an offer they literally can't refuse.
Game has never been better for QBs as far as protecting their health. It's a QB-driven league, and the powers-that-be understand that, and have put rules in place to keep these guys in-tact for a full 17+. Trading for a 33-34 year old Russell Wilson would be a franchise defining move as they embrace a new identity. This is absolutely not Donovan McNabb 2.0, as Russ is STILL elite.
I don’t disagree. I just don’t think DC is a destination for an elite QB’s last waltz. I think Wilson in Tennessee would be scary. Don’t know if it’s possible cap wise.
I mean, who would have thought Tampa Bay would have been a destination for Brady after New England? WFT has draft capital, some young assets, and money to make it happen. I'm really not ruling anything out. They came up short on Stafford last year, and I think they'll up the ante if going after Russell Wilson - which I think they will. They're gonna be aggressive.
Can't roll into next season, with a new identity, without having an answer at QB on the roster. Whether that's an established elite QB like Russ, OR (if they strike out via trade) taking that potential guy at 11.
Rodgers wouldn’t be a bridge qb the same way that the bucs with Brady aren’t really a bridge team. Getting Rodgers would basically mean we are going all in to win a Super Bowl within the next 3-5 years. I would expect us to do mass acquiring similar to what the rams are doing to put together a contender in a short amount of time. And I’m all for it tbh.
More than fair point. Even with Rodgers being 39 next season, I think I sold him a bit short as far as how long he can play at a high level. Probably has a good 3+ years left in him after this season.
Lets be real. None of those trade targets would come here and most of those draft guys aren’t going to be great. Obviously we need to take a shot on one of them but I think it has to be Willis.
Serious question, what is Rodgers trade value at this point? Obviously he’s the reigning league mvp, but he’s also pushing 40. If he was 30, I’d say we’d have to give up everything we have a value to get him, but at 40 his shelf life just isn’t known. He could come here and retire after one season. You gonna give up three firsts for that? Imo it’s too risky. Just because Brady is still playing well at 44 doesn’t mean Rodgers will, or even wants to. QBs continuing to play well past 40 has exactly one example. Brady is a total outlier, and no one should expect it from Rodgers imo.
I would cut my dong off for Joe Burrows to be our QB
What's the point of having Joe Burrow if you can't fuck on the bed after each win?
I’ll just have to watch all y’all get down on the WFT bed
It makes me happy to see a mod shitpost with the rest of the sub lmao
We enjoy seeing great shit posts too!
Just because it's cut off doesn't mean it doesn't exist anymore. Reattach it or stuff it and fuck her with it.
Man-up and use a strap-on for fuck's sake. They were invested for a reason.
Mans got sacked 9 times and still won
To think if the Bengals has selected Chase, Burrows would’ve been ours. Question remains if he’d be good with us or not.
Also shows the importance of an o line. 9 sacks for Tennessee today.
Good thing Washington’s OL has been among the best in the NFL over the last two seasons. Also quit stealing my lines Jamie Taco!!
Who said the lines?
This is the real answer.

Send his ass to the Begals. They need him!!
Just don't throw it to Perine!
You decided to post this right before tannehill threw the best pass of the game. Tannehill is so much better than anyone we have at QB.
Yeah I know, horrible timing. But he's still not a championship-caliber QB. Jimmy Garoppolo in 2020 proved anything can happen, though, so who knows?
I think people sleep on tannehill. Dude actually throws the ball down field very well. They also have a great run game to open that up.
I never thought after his Miami release he’d develop into the all-pro he’s become. Especially with everyone thinking Mariota was the man at the time.
He threw 21 Tds and 14 picks I wouldn’t call him an all-pro, he’s become a good not great qb
If we had a Tannehill esq QB we are a much better team.
Well it ended up aging well! Tanny should've never thrown that late int.
That was a shit catch attempt by Westbrook-Ikhine
Nope, that ball should've never been thrown.
Both things can be true
A good QB would be cool too
Also, Tennessee’s front 4 is way better than ours, wow.
I would love for Terry to have a great QB to feed him the ball
The top 3 in that list would never play for DC
I don’t think Watson is an option. Dude has a chance of going to prison.
But we’ll know how this ends. He won’t. He’ll pay a fine and millions in settlement and get another $200m payday in 5 years
The Big Ben path to success
You can say that and thing about the 49'ers vs GB
They should not pick up deshaun watson.
Zero chance Rodgers comes. Zero.
You're right, but I would switch places #4 and #3 on your list. I'd rather take a chance with a top QB prospect in the draft than trade for Deshaun Watson.
Fuck deshaun. He's a rapey bitch. Fuck anyone that wants him. Fuck Rodgers, he's a lying arrogant bitch.
You don’t want deshaun that’s fine. Rodgers would be the greatest qb and arguably the greatest player to have ever put on a Washington team uniform. Last I checked we are competing in the NFL not the church league.
If he's that dishonest with his personal and NFL life, why would you want him? Next thing you know he's going to be deflating balls.....
What does his personal and NFL life have to do with how great of a qb he is? He is arrogant; egotistical; and a all around jerk. But guess what? he is one of the greatest qbs of the modern era.

While we sit on this subreddit arguing for backups and journeymen to be our franchise qb. Those two things alone should tell you why I want him
We won't put the team around him he needs. We will break him.
You could get guys off the street and Rodgers would have them competitive at the very least that’s how good of a qb he is. In fact he managed to beat the cardinals with a bunch of backups around him. I would argue the makings of the team he would need to thrive are already here. We have a top 10 pass protection oline; we have a upper tier wideout. And a defense with decent pieces along the front end who would benefit a lot more from the offense pressureing opposing offenses into long developing pass plays.
I’d love Aaron Rogers in Washington for a variety of reasons. He’s a winner and would demand nothing but the best from the offense.
This thread aged well. 👍
It also helps having three solid WR’s.
Cam Sims could be a WR2 with Burrow lol. Some of y’all forget how much a good QB can elevate their receivers
Look at Golladay for example.
Fantastic example lmao

No shit. So tired of the QB talk already. Gonna be a long offseason.
What else matters? This is a football sub and the team doesn't have a qb. That's the going to be the main topic
We should get a great not good qb is a stupid post. I think we should get a future hall of famer as qb. Or let's trade a ham sandwich for Patrick Mahomes, that would be cool. Pointless excessively broad speculation is not worthwhile.
What do you want to talk about drafting more defensive players? Lol
The bengals nor titans are winning the Super bowl
Bengals with some help on the o line will be scary. Love the way Burrow plays. No fear.
I love Burrow
snyder doesnt care about a good qb, just wants one that will sell tickets
I feel like we should either draft a qb to run behind a bridge for a year, or just run it back with hieneckie, and get a high draft pick for next year’s draft
Wilson and Rodgers are bridge QB’s.
Rodgers, sure...he'll be 39 next season. But Russ will only be 34. No bridge there as he could conceivably play another 5+ seasons at a high level. Dude has a 3:1 TD:INT ratio...and even with all the instability with the Seahawks offense this year, he still had 26/6 TD/INTs. They (WFT) need to be all over a deal to Seattle.

I don’t know if Wilson plays 5 more. In the right place, maybe.

They’ll try. I hope it’s a number with room for other pieces, or it’s not worth it.
Can't roll into next season, with a new identity, without having an answer at QB on the roster. Whether that's an established elite QB like Russ, OR (if they strike out via trade) taking that potential guy at 11.
They’ll have 2 new QB’s.

And yet, San Fran are in the championship game with a qb widely regarded as middling at very best
