The Commanders could possibly drop as low as the #9 pick with a win against the Jets next week.
Conversely, if they lose while the Cardinals beat the Bears and Patriots beat the Broncos, they could possibly jump to the #2 pick.#HTTC

The Jets, who just lost 30-0, are 3-point favorites over Commanders.

WR Terry McLaurin has eclipsed 5,000 career receiving yards: pic.twitter.com/tMzswjvAvT

Terry McLaurin has catches of 48, 16 and 29 yards on Jacoby Brissett’s seven plays. He just eclipsed the 100-yard mark for the first time all season.
Pretty amazing last few minutes for the WSH offense.

Man. I was and still am a huge fan of Sam Howell. I really wanted him to be a unicorn. But at this point, I have a very hard time seeing a GM and HC stake their jobs and reputations on a 5th round QB they didn’t draft. Especially when you have a top 5 draft pick.#HTTC
— Tae & Todd Commanders Podcast (@TaeNToddPodcast) December 17, 2023
Sam ain’t doin enough to warrant NOT going QB with our high ass pick. I don’t even want to tweet that bc I want him to succeed. He just not slamming the door shut though man damn
— Lonzo In Da Mornin’ (@KonartistNupe) December 17, 2023
Sam Howell is probably the least of this teams problems, but he hasn’t had a good game in 4 weeks since Seattle. Not what he wants to happen with a top pick and new regime coming in..
— Nick Kerns (@nicktkerns) December 17, 2023
Brissett having immediate success today looks bad for Howell but is good news for the organization. Above all else clarity at the QB position with a top 5 pick coming is vital.
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) December 18, 2023
Rivera said sitting Howell was about protecting him. He remains the starter.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) December 18, 2023
Interesting how the Commanders had the “worst OL in football” when Sam Howell was QB
Yet, Jacoby Brissett goes 8-10 for 124 and 2 TD’s with that same OL in about 9 minutes of game time
— Damien Bartonek (@tvBartonek) December 18, 2023
I think the staff got tired of seeing the layups not taken. Here’s an example.
Sam is tremendous off schedule but he has struggled on schedule. Look at how open two guys are here. This is 5 to 8 yard free yards. Take it!
Turns them down over and over then makes a difficult pass… pic.twitter.com/AKHCuY4I9O
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) December 18, 2023
its a possibility the offense works when the qb gets the ball out on time, in rhythm, I don’t know
— Colin Dunphy (still a homer) (@mofopod) December 17, 2023
Here’s what I think happens:
– Howell starts the rest of the season.
– Entire staff including Bieniemy is fired.
– New group takes a QB in round 1.
– Howell sticks around because he’s on a 5th round rookie deal, and possibly starts the beginning of next season until new QB is…— Eric Sully (@CommandersRealm) December 18, 2023

CHEESEMAN NEEDS TO BE CUT IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!

Cheeseman may go down as the WORST draft pick in the Ron Rivera era – and that is saying a LOT!!! pic.twitter.com/P31rve9Etl
— Mark Tyler(Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) December 18, 2023
There is no overstating the player-personnel ineptitude of…
spending a draft pick…
acquired via a trade…
on a long snapper – a position on which a draft pick should basically never be spent…
and then the long snapper ends up being terrible.#Commanders
— Al Galdi (@AlGaldi) December 17, 2023
Are you anticipating a change at long snapper?
Ron Rivera: “We’re going to evaluate it before making a decision.”
— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) December 18, 2023
Camaron Cheeseman, on if he’s worried the Commanders will make a change at LS: “I mean, I’ve been worried all year. I haven’t been performing the way I’ve been wanting to. Most places, I probably wouldn’t be around still.”
