RG3: Commanders can be Super Bowl contenders — under one condition

The Commanders have made the postseason just five times this century, but a former Washington quarterback thinks this year’s team has Super Bowl potential.

Robert Griffin III and a few of his ESPN coworkers on Monday engaged in a Twitter discussion about the Commanders. Griffin, who led the franchise to the postseason in 2012, tweeted that the Commanders are in good position to make the playoffs and have the potential to be a Super Bowl contender.

But what does this depend on? The play of quarterback Carson Wentz, of course.

Griffin thinks that if Wentz repeats his solid — but inconsistent — 2021 season that Washington is a playoff contender.
