OT: 2024 Washington Commanders thread: change we can believe in!

Sucks it took the NFL 3 days to credit Newton with his first career sack. Quinn got it corrected. Johnny promised to baptize all the teams that passed on him on draft day. Daniel Jones is lined up to be his next victim.

I assume all fans have seen this Baldy piece on Newton but if not, its mandatory viewing. He had me at: Hands like Anvils

I don't think AP has missed on a draft pick thus far. What a 180 from Ron

The strategy of going after guys who had lots of experience and were captains/leaders sure seems like a good one so far.

Yeah but no. Ron did the same same thing. He wanted leaders — but he picked the wrong leaders.

Talent wins. Peters has been …seemingly, as it’s still early….. good at finding talent.

I recall this board was ultra unhappy with Newton being picked. Having 2 “stud” DT’s made it seem like a bad choice.

And now? Allen out for the year (forever, as a Skin, I’m think) and that 20m salary slot can be much better used.

I love Allen. But off we go?

That's how I see it. Go with Payne/Newton next year and use the cap space elsewhere.
