Thank you NLC1054, as a rookie redskins fan I need hope.
Plus, I really have the feeling the QB position in general is overrated.
I played and watched rugby for years, you could say number 9 and 10 are the quaterbacks of rugby. I know rugby and football are very different sports, no need to compare them. I'm aware in football you need perfection at every second while you can afford to drop a pass in a rugby game if your team badly wants to win.
Still my point is the atmosphere in football that make people wait for a QB like a christian waiting for Jesus Christ's comeback is absurd and leads to bold decisions. In rugby games you often see number 9 or 10 being benched at 10 minutes of the end of the game, to give an opportunity to a younger player to play, the starter will rest a bit and no one will make a big deal of it. Or during the week the younger player was the best at practice because the usual starter was tired so the younger will start this week. So the players bust their ass at practice because they want to be on the field and you don't have the situation of a player praying for his teammate to hurt himself so he'd a chance to play...
