McCarthy won't reveal starting QB Sunday

[ThatJerryKid]

This will make 17 straight games this year that we outsmarted the other team.

Quarterback, wide receiver, running back, offensive line, tight end
Defensive line, backfield. That’s eight positions,
if you don’t draft the top, it doesn’t matter you’re not getting the best player at the position.
You’re getting the second rounders in the first round. Lol.
We’re not getting a better draft position LMAO

11 is a lot better than 15 or 17 and you will be getting 1st round talent up to pick 13.

What I read into is Jerry hasn't told him yet.

Don't be rude. Jerry is still thinking about it.

Probably going to trade down

 

[ApolytonGP]

Can Dak be activated from IR? Has it been 4 games yet?

 

[Praxit]

..stay tuned bat friends.

 

[Bobhaze]

They will probably employ the TreyLance late game strategy. Insert him in the last two minutes for one three and out series. Need to keep that under wraps though. Shhhhhhh……

 

[maryquality]

We have so much talent that we can do this and keep the other team for preparing for just one player. Jedi mind tricks McCarthy is playing

Yep. Mike's strategy to keep the other team guessing.

 

[fivetwos]

I read between the lines by words, tone and body language as as follows…..Lance is starting Sunday and McCarthy has already agreed to an extension verbally.

 

[gimmesix]

McCarthy still playing chess ... because he's no good at checkers.

 

[DoctorChicken]

Washington is going to struggle to prepare for potentially facing both of these QBs. With Rush’s pinpoint accuracy and Lance’s legs, it’s like dealing with the threat of Brady and Lamar at the same time.

 

[Sheepherder]

He’s got to wait for Jerry to recover from New Years Eve drunken stupor.

Well that won't be until training camp in July. If ever.

 

[Bullflop]

I can't say as I blame McCarthy for keeping his intentions about his starting QB for Sunday to occur. It's to his advantage to surprise the Commanders and keep them guessing until gametime. Thereby, the adjustments will necessarily be somewhat more complicated. It's surely best that way.

 

[links18]

I’ll be surprised if Trey Lance is back next season. It’s obvious they see no hope in him.

Well, Jerry did invest a 4th rounder in him, so he will be loathe to part too soon.

Sorry, but I'm not really seeing the "pinpoint accuracy" in Cooper Rush that you do. Rush is ok, as long as there's no pass rush present. With the Commander's improved pass rush, that's not highly likely to be the case. In any event, we'll see how accurate Cooper Rush manages to be. I'm not assuming either team will offer their efforts at full strength, however. Anything can happen in that contest.

Coincidentally, I'm not really expecting Trey Lance to offer anything noticeably more impressive. In fact, I think he'll be much the same as most of us have seen in the past. I'm not counting on Lance to be the savior that we'd like to see if he even gets to play. I think Rush will start and Lance might relieve him if things don't go too well. Let's enjoy whatever happens. If we win, great. If we lose, a better draft position may be had. It's all good.

As I understand it, the Commanders are favored by three points -- that suggests a close game, by Las Vegas' standards. We'll see about that.

He parted with a third round pick on Drew Henson and he only lasted one season with the Cowboys. Once they saw him play and they realized he couldn’t they moved on.

 

[JohnsKey19]

True and sad.

 

[FVSTONE]

At this point Rush needs to be inactive for this game! Allow Trey Lance to direct this team from start to finish and if he does get hurt then bring in Will Grier to take his place.

Yeah, that was in the Parcells era. Or as Jerry calls it the Parcells "error."

 

[LysleE]

I’m sure the Commanders are on pins-and-needles awaiting Dallas’ decision…

What a joke…trying to be strategic on the last game of the season…
