If you're not aware of Troy's take on the situation.
I saw that yesterday. Troy Aikman basically is saying R.E.L.A.X. the guy is a rookie doing rookie things. He compared Caleb to his own struggles when he entered the league. He says this is what usually happens. Aikman ended up being one of the best quarterbacks ever to play in the NFL and is in the Hall of Fame. Jayden Daniels has one breakout game and all of a sudden people think Caleb is a bust because he hasn't had his breakout game in the first 3 games of his entire NFL career.
SMH.
Washington as a team is in the same position as the Bears. Not very good and last year was a disaster for them at 4-13. They're 2-1 and in 1st place atm, which isn't gonna last. He's only played 3 games and proven he can make some plays. That's the main point. Still waitin on Caleb to show up.
Most haven't. Lawrence was the "Can't Miss" guy of that draft. Bryce Young has been benched. And Fields isn't exactly lighting it up with 2 TD's, and 1 Int, and a QB rating of 47.5 (22nd qb in the NFL). If you pull up the 1st round drafted QB's over the past 20 years it isn't pretty. Trubs left here and I wouldn't say he's any better... maybe worse. Poor guy has 1 pass this year for 3 yards... that is "it" for him through three games. He changes teams about as often as I change my underwear... Bears, Bills, Steelers and now back with the Bills.
It is too early to close the door on Caleb or our coaches after 3 games.
not closing the door on Caleb. Far from it, I think he's gonna be a good one. However, The door is rapidly closing on our coaches - but not after 3 games. it's his third season and Flus is still making stupid mistakes - too much confusion on the sidelines (2-pts vs 1-pt), terrible challenges, bad use of time outs, bad player personnell usage, on and on. After tomorrow is the end of the 1st quarter. time for the 1st quarter coaching grades. Flus has gotten passes so far due to lack of player talent, that time is over. He is the worst game managing HC in the division. Look what Goon Bay is doing. They moved on from AR and JL looks very good, He gets injured and Malik Freaking Willis replaces him without a hitch. Meanwhile we can't figure out how to get a TD for our #1 pick with multiple weapons on 1st and goal from the 4. I fear we'll get more of the same tomorrow. I'm prepping myself for it. Our coaching sucks, and I've had it with them. I try to find reasons to stick with them, but I can't find any, other than consistency. I'm like the male Cyndi Lauper - I just wanna have fun. This coaching staff is making that very difficult.
Now that that's off my chest, I hope we can get it together tomorrow and win one. Then another.
It has been a really rough start. I've kind of calmed down a bit... ready for another go at it tomorrow.

I'm more concerned about Eberflus. If the show doesn't start turning corner on performance and effectiveness in the next 3 or 4 games, things are going to get ugly.
Maybe we need to start accepting that our team was nowhere as good as we thought. And that getting what we assume is our answer to a franchise QB was premature. I am not throwing shade on CW. Just saying there were several other positions that we needed to address as well as QB. And that these weaknesses are being exposed.
Or maybe there's some background influence coming out of ownership that was involved in keeping Eberflus.
I am not trying to argue any specific reason for (or solution for) what's causing this. Just that it's going to get really ugly is we hit half way through the season with say only two wins.

I agree with that, Chuck. Hopefully we see the team improve each game now. I know many of us wanted to see instant results from game-1 this season, and we didn't want to accept the fact that there is a time-element to installing a new offense with new players and coaches - and a rookie QB1 starting day-1.

It could be that we have much of the solution on the roster. But the players the make up the solution need a year to get better (Amegadjie, Booker, etc) and then we need more help from 2025 draft Day 1 and Day 2.
Not saying I don't want us to be a winner, right now, today. Just that this is what's in the cards.
