Choosing the “best” of anything is so subjective that it’s largely a futile effort. Best band ever? Creedence Clearwater Revival. Best food? Thai, of course. Best city to live in? Sydney, Australia. I doubt that there’s a person alive who would agree with me on all three of these answers.
When it comes to the best player on a football roster, for some teams there is almost universal agreement, and Washington may be one of those teams at the moment, but even when there’s a high level of consensus, there can be virulent disagreement from some quarters.
I’m going to briefly propose a number of candidates for “best player” on the roster.
