I enjoy a good mock offseason article as much as the next guy. However, as a fan of a team that has struggled to get to the next level for nearly 30 years, no matter how many key free agents we sign and no matter how many quarterbacks of the future we draft, they always strike me as being a little off the mark.
I have finally realized that the reason is that they always seem to start from an implicit assumption that the team is just a few pieces away from contending. That is not where the Washington Commanders are now, or where the franchise has been since the early nineties.
