The Importance of Acquiring a Franchise Quarterback for Washington Has Never Been Higher

If watching the first round of the 2021 NFL playoffs was not enough, the importance of finding a franchise quarterback for Washington has never been higher than it is heading into the 2022 offseason.

The last time the Washington franchise had sustained success at the quarterback position was when Mark Rypien was under center from 1988-1993, where he went 45-27, was selected to two Pro Bowls, and won a Super Bowl.

Some may bring up Robert Griffin III (2012-2014), and Kirk Cousins (2015-2017), as each went to a playoff game and made a Pro Bowl - but to me the word SUSTAINED does not stand out with either of these players.
