It came to this: The Washington Redskins on Sunday started Mark Sanchez at quarterback.
As predicted by everyone, Sanchez played forgettably and was benched in the second half. So who did the Redskins replace him with? A quarterback who had not thrown a pass since 2011, and whose last employer was the San Diego Fleet.
It has been a trying year for Redskins quarterbacks. Last season, Kirk Cousins was reasonably proficient in leading Washington to a 7-9 record.
