5 NFL teams that are going to wish they drafted Stetson Bennett IV
By John Buhler
Like, what do the Washington Commanders have to lose at this point, honestly?
With Daniel Snyder gone forever, the Washington Commanders can honestly rebuild their franchise in any direction Josh Harris wants to go. If I were him, I’d see things through with Eric Bieniemy coordinating the offense for a well-respected, defensive-minded head coach in Ron Rivera rather than meddle too much. If you want to change the name again, do what you want…
But in all fairness, no quarterbacking room in the NFL feels as anonymous as the Commanders’. It’s like Jacoby Brissett and Sam Howell, a man who only eats chicken tenders like a five-year-old. How can you be a franchise quarterback if you cannot enjoy a nice, medium-rare ribeye at the local five-star steakhouse? You and I know Bennett would annihilate a New York Strip like nobody else.
To me, I think he would have thrived running Bieniemy’s offense. They would have found common ground in the nobody-believes-in-us mantra. It may not have been a partnership as good as what Bennett had in college with Todd Monken, but I trust the Mailman over the Nervous Bird every day and twice on Sundays. Bennett could have been a legend in Athens, as well as the nation’s capital.
For a team destined to finish in last place in the division, what else does Washington have to lose?
