What a difference a few weeks make in the NFL!

The week before Washington’s Christmas Eve game against the 49ers, we asked in the Reacts poll what fans wanted to see happen at the starting quarterback position in 2023. The results were not incredibly decisive.

While the most popular answer in that poll was to turn to Sam Howell, that option garnered just over one-third of the vote, with 25% of voters favoring the option of consolidating resources to draft a starter in 2024. About 1 in 6 voters favored re-signing Taylor Heinicke as the team’s starter for ‘23, and 7% were still hanging on to the dream of a Carson Wentz resurrection.
