QB really is our biggest concern - not only because Alex may possibly never play again, but also because we have a lot of other question marks at all of our offensive skill positions.
1) TEs - Vernon Davis makes a lot of mental mistakes. Sorry - when he's on, he's great, but his lack of in-game focus cost us numerous times this season. He's getting old and it's time to move on. Reed? Again, imho it's time to move on from him. You know why. Sprinkle showed some promise but going forward he's really the only young promising TE we have unless you think one of the subs can step up.
2) WR - We're in a bind here. Doctson was *improved* in 2018, but lets be honest, any kind of consistent production was going to be an improvement. For a guy who is supposed to be a
#1 or at least
#2 WR, 44 catches, 500+ yds, and 2 TDs is pretty pathetic. Do we cut bait or double down on his 'potential'? Jamison Crowder had similar #'s but didn't look like the same guy and had by far his worst year as a Redskin, mostly because he was only available for 9 games. What do you do there? Bank that with another offseason of recovery he's once again a difference maker? We literally have major questions with every WR. When your most promising options may be two undrafted free agents (Sims and Quinn), you know you are in trouble - even before asking who's going to be tossing the pigskin for us next season.
3) At RB, we may be better off but still mostly have questions. Is AP's 'gratitude' at being given a chance to start with the Skins going to be enough to get him to resign? Color me skeptical. His agent is going to push for a max money contract. Even if he does sign a contract with us, what are the odds he can repeat the amazing effort we saw this year? Can he hold up physically? I know it's AP, and he doesn't subscribe to the same human frailties that limit most of us, but he is going to be another year older and there's no guarantee he stays healthy. When it comes to Guice, will he be the same electric guy he was before the ACL tear? Can he stay healthy? We hope so, but this is the Redskins we're talking about here. And then there's Chris Thompson, like Crowder, a guy who has previously been a difference maker but who, coming off an injury year, didn't look like the same guy.
QB? Not even going to go there although this is obviously the most glaring question mark of them all. One has to believe that if Alex ever plays again, it almost certainly won't happen early in 2019. Unless the Skins truly do something dramatic, we're probably looking at Colt McCoy, which given his lack of durability probably means whoever his backup is by game 4 or 5. We are in the most trouble at QB we've been in in a long, long time, maybe as bad as when we were debating whether Danny Wuerfel or Shane Matthews should start
So - in terms of offensive skill positions, we have nothing but question marks nearly across the board. Good luck to us with that.
