Washington Commanders. Let that one sit.
Oh, and some have pointed out that the Handmaid's Tale has a bunch of shitty assholes also called 'commanders'. Which could make this potentially a really poor choice for the Washington football team.
Also, too, the Washington Commies.
Take that one with you.

It’s been a banner week for the revival of the decades-old take that those who haven’t played a sport professionally shouldn’t evaluate it, with Chicago Cubs’ pitcher Marcus Stroman first bringing that up and former NFL and CFL quarterback Jeff Garcia now following suit. Following the San Francisco 49ers’ 13-10 playoff win over the Green Bay Packers Sunday, there was plenty of talk from many media members about how 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo didn’t have a great game despite the win (he finished with 11 completions on 19 attempts for 131 yards with no touchdowns and an interception), but Garcia took particular exception only to those remarks from ESPN senior NFL analyst Mina Kimes, saying in a since-deleted Instagram post that she couldn’t criticize Garoppolo because she didn’t play in the NFL. Some quotes from that, via Ryan Glasspiegel of The New York Post:
Who the hell is Mina Kimes and when is the last time she threw a touchdown pass in a game?” Garcia asked. “Never! Ever! has she taken a snap or can truly understand the ability, the mindset, the physical and mental toughness, that it takes to play the QB position or any position in the NFL.

Go fuck yourself, Jeff.
Terrell Owens was right.

I wouldn't go that far.
Owens was an asshole too, and he took his criticism way over the line when he started spouting homophobia.

I said before KC and Washington should have just traded names and been the KC Reds and the Washington Chiefs (it is a rank and is etymologically similar to corporal, captain, and chef, and supposedly comes from PIE for "head")
Ben Rapelisburger has finally retired. Good riddance, you neanderthal fuckhead.
Be interesting to see how the Steelers go about replacing him.
While he was pretty fucking trash last year, as we've seen, teams with long term security at the QB position tend to just ignore development. Mainly because it's just too expensive to have an adequate backup when you're paying near 20% of your salary cap to a single player, and only one is used (mostly) on the field at the same time.
See Packers when Rodgers is out, and the trashfire that was the Saints QB room.
The Steelers are fairly low down in the draft order, and I'm not sure how many true quality QB's will actually move, so it could be not even a rebuild, but a tread water season next year.
I mean multiple teams this year are proofs of concept that you can make it far in the post season and to the Superbowl with a mediocre qb
You don't necessarily need greatness at that position anymore
AAAAA!!! PLAAAYGUUU!!!!

Your odds are always with a top QB but an an average one has always had a shot behind a great defense and some lucky breaks. That's never really changed.
Hate to break it to Steelers fans but Big Ben is not a HOF QB
I get that they feel entitled since every Steeler from the 70s down to the waterboy got in, but just... no
Hate to break it to you, but Big Ben is absolutely a Hall of Fame quarterback.
Regardless of anything else, he was getting in based on his SB victories. That's how Eli gets in.
Eli gets in solely for causing 18-1.
I think 2 owls is enough for Ben to get in. Not sure though - other than being a bitch to tackle, he was never the part of the team that made them scary. Maybe he's a Jim Plunkett.

Wins are not a QB stat
He may get in
That doesn't mean he deserves it

Doesn't matter. Neither QB was anything special, but it's not called 'Hall of Anything Special'. Winning two Super Bowls will be enough for all the voting turds who care about any of it.
Some franchises are well-run-enough to field a good team without relying on an all-pro QB to hide their flaws, and my point is the Steelers are one such franchise and I don’t expect them to spend time in the NFL wilderness now that they’re going to be looking to replace their below-replacement QB on a playoff team with …. anybody else
The Ravens, Niners, pre-fail-generation-Mara Giants, and pre-Snyder Washingtons are other teams that come to mind

I do not like Ben Roethlisberger at all but he's probably like the 12th best QB of the modern football era. He wasn't great in either of his Super Bowl victories, but he had an incredible career and many franchises would have been happy to have him.
So what, 12th best is Hall of Fame worthy? He had a long career, but even without taking into account off field activities I would be hesitant to enshrine him forever next to truly great QBs.

Now that's a ringing endorsement if I ever heard one
He leads in dumbass, considering he still doesn't wear a helmet riding his hog after almost killing himself in an under 30MPH collision with a parked car.

If you build a good team, with good fundamentals, offensive and defensive lines. You can have a team go to the playoffs, beat the Packers and be a contender, even if you have Joe Burrow as QB.

Yeah. I almost said 'Owens was right' and then I remembered what he'd said. And I'd hate to actually say Owens was right about anything.
Absolutely and I totally forgot about TOs homophobic shit towards Garcia.
Jeff still is an ass though for his Mina Kimes take.
-Indiana Solo, runner of blades
He was the third and greatest head of the two-headed Niners dynasty of QBs
That was Elvis Grbac.
Submit that to "Defector's" "Remember a Guy" list.
Holy shit., I forgot bout Elvis!
like their mascot can be a george washington
6'8" and weighs a fucking ton
He’s busy working for the Nats.

Would you like it if Lil Danny Snyder took ,"Warriors"?
Because that's how you get the Washington Warriors DL.
Oh shit, I forgot that was also on Danny Boy's , short list.

He's a sack of shit who I don't want to get in the HOF but we all know he will.
When we’re talking about the super bowl era, yes it is.
He’s clearly a hall of fame QB even if he sucks as a person.
Yes
12th best with two rings will do it.
Marino
Elway
Kelly
Young
Favre
Warner
Brady
Brees
Manning
Rodgers
Wilson
Mahomes
That’s a ~chronological list of the guys I’d put ahead of him

I wanna say Joe Burrow has the 2nd best first 27 starts in a career after Mahomes so
