Washington's QB Carousel: A Neverending Cycle of Hope, Hype, and Hold My Beer Moments
Ah, Washington Football, now Commanders. A team steeped in history, passionate fans, and... a revolving door at the quarterback position that would make a Parisian restaurant jealous. We've seen legends like Sammy Baugh sling lasers in the early days, but since then, well, let's just say things have been a tad... quirky.

| How Many Qbs Has Washington Had |
From Glory Days to The Great QB Escape
Back in the day, Washington had Sonny Jurgensen, a gunslinger with a cannon for an arm and a taste for the good life (and maybe a little too much Brut cologne). But since Sonny hung up his cleats, it's been a parade of hopeful saviors, frustrating busts, and guys you swear you've never heard of before.
Tip: Don’t skim past key examples.
We've had the highs of RGIII's electrifying rookie season, the lows of Colt McCoy's, well, everything, and the in-between of Donovan McNabb's dreamcast that somehow turned into a nightmare. It's been a rollercoaster, folks, and sometimes you just wanna yell "Can we get off now?!"
Tip: Stop when you find something useful.
Here Today, Gone Tomorrow (Literally)
Here's the kicker: Washington has had a whopping 70 quarterbacks start at least one game in their franchise history. That's more quarterbacks than some teams have had total! It's gotten to the point where Washington fans have a sixth sense for sniffing out a soon-to-be-washed-up QB or a promising rookie who'll mysteriously regress faster than a reality TV romance.
QuickTip: Stop scrolling, read carefully here.
Look, we all love a good underdog story, but when your "underdog" is on his 12th team in 8 years, it starts to feel less like Cinderella and more like Weekend at Bernie's.
QuickTip: Look for lists — they simplify complex points.

So, what's the deal?
Why can't Washington find their franchise QB? Is there a Bermuda Triangle over FedEx Field that just swallows good quarterbacks whole? Here's the truth: it's probably a combination of factors, from an inconsistent offensive line to a coaching carousel that makes a merry-go-round look stable.
But hey, at least it's entertaining, right? We've got the memes, the debates, the endless "who will start next week?" Washington fans are a hardy bunch, and if nothing else, we can find humor in the absurdity of it all.
Plus, there's always the hope that maybe, just maybe, the next guy will be the one. Here's to hoping!
