Ron Rivera tried to find a reliable starting quarterback for the Washington Commanders. The former head coach could never find the right one.
He inherited an aging Alex Smith and a woefully inexperienced Dwayne Haskins upon his arrival. Rivera then proceeded to draft, sign, and trade for seven other signal callers who would take turns under center for Washington between 2020 and 2024.
Every year seemed like a fresh start, with the promise of a wise veteran or a talented newcomer offering hope. It never worked out.
Recently, two of those failed experiments were on the move, and it must leave Commanders’ fans chuckling in bemusement.
