This franchise continues to confuse me every single day. And unlike my last post, I'm simply talking about the on-field play this time around.
Washington took down the Carolina Panthers yesterday, which would normally be a very good thing. However, the team isn't good enough to make a deep run in the playoffs. Although, I guess I'm really just saying that Taylor Heinicke isn't good enough for that. I want the team to be in a good position to draft a long-term option at QB this offseason. Winning games right now is actually harming our future in my opinion.
Maybe I'm too harsh on the franchise when I should just learn to enjoy winning of any kind. But what I'm afraid of happening is that the Team will win just enough games to not make the playoffs, and land in No Man's Land of the draft. I guess it's better than being perennially terrible like Jacksonville or Detroit, but I'd like to see some long-term plans look like they're being formed.
I said it before and I'll say it again. I don't know how I should feel right now. I'm happy the team won, but I don't know what that means for the future of the franchise and if we can sustain a modicum of success. I should just be happy with what I have in front of me, but I can't find a way to do it. It feels like we have to be terrible in order to be sustainably good.
I know it doesn't make any sense, but I would love this team to be in a spot where they naturally get a top 2 draft pick, instead of trading their entire future away like they did to get RGIII.
A man can dream, I guess.
