Throughout the preseason, one of the most high-profile Washington Commanders' position battles on display was between Sam Hartman and Josh Johnson for the team's third-string quarterback slot. And neither has exactly flourished.
Starter Jayden Daniels played only one series across the three-game slate and did not attempt a single pass. Backup Marcus Mariota was out for all three contests, meaning the rest of the action was conducted by the undrafted Notre Dame standout and the long-time journeyman veteran.
After three double-digit losses in which the Commanders' offense scored a total of 38 points, the answer is obvious as to which of them should be Washington's third signal-caller.
