Darnold might end the week with more rings than Allen, Jackson, and Mayfield combined.

yeah and he speaks really highly of learning from Alex Smith how to take the job seriously. it was as perfect a landing spot as there's ever been for a QB

And he spent that year running drills every day with Mike Kafka which miraculously fixed his footwork.

I'm still mad we let Kafka get away. We should have blocked him from interviewing with other teams like the Giants just did

I live in a miserable football hellscape where the Kansas City Chiefs win every SB but at least I can obtain a few lulz at the the newest piece from the Commander's Gazette (formally known as The Athletic)

This one is from David Aldridge who is really really into basketball...

quote:

ASHBURN, Va. — The Washington Commanders nailed the hire that matters most.

Adam Peters is running the show.

Everything else, including Dan Quinn and Kliff Kingsbury and Joe Whitt Jr., flows from that. And all those hires matter. But get the ultimate pecking order straight in your head: Peters et al. 



quote:

someone in Ben Johnson’s camp leaked word over the weekend that the Detroit Lions’ offensive coordinator was turned off by Washington’s ownership group during his interviews with them, dismissing them as “basketball guys” who “were a little too confident in their football opinions.” And that, one guesses, was part of why he broke off negotiations with the team as Harris and company were en route to Detroit for a second interview with him.

That’s not the flex whoever said that thinks it is.

Last time I checked, the elite “basketball guys” make five to 10 times more money playing their sport than elite “football guys” do playing theirs and are 100 times more famous and more commercially viable as a result. And I’d be curious if most NFL head coaches would be happy getting contracts that “basketball guys” like George Karl got as NBA head coaches … 20 years ago. And since the Lions have come up short in their last two postseasons, while Myers’ and Magic Johnson’s hands are weighed down by the championship rings they own, maybe Ben Johnson and/or his camp should get off their high horses and listen to people who’ve actually won something.

And speaking of being turned off...

quote:

We all agree Washington wanted Ben Johnson. The Commanders couldn’t get him. Life goes on.

I probably wasn’t my wife’s first choice, you know?

I'll give this to Dianna Russini. She channeled her inner Leni Riefenstahl and delivered some propaganda but at least the takeaway from her article was better than the Washington Commanders got cucked in their coaching search and that reminds me of how my spouse just doesn't look at me the same way.

So in this fantasy land the Washington higher-ups live in, the one being crafted by these asinine pieces of "journalism", what should Johnson have done instead? Done the second interview, and then... rejected their contract offer?

I know they're just throwing a tantrum, but getting Aldridge and others to pen these columns is baffling. It's either arguing that they'd rather have wasted time doing a second interview and then getting rejected a day or two later, or they're delusional enough to think he shouldn't have been permitted to turn them down.

Bizarre, funny, worrisome (if you're NattyBo or another WFT fan) stuff.
