With an 0-4 record and little hope left surrounding the franchise, it’s important to look on the bright side for Washington Redskins fans. While there are several things of note that are going poorly, there are still a couple of positives mixed in there.
To emphasize this, USA Today’s Touchdown Wire took a look at the six winless teams in the NFL and help implement a glass-half-full vs. glass-half-empty type of mindset. For the Redskins, it’s pretty straight forward — rookie WR Terry McLaurin fills the cup up, but the quarterback confusion has sprung a leak in the gameplan.
Glass: Half Full
Terry McLaurin’s development as a legit NFL receiver provides hope that, if the QB situation is ever solved, there are weapons at that person’s disposal.
Glass: Half Empty
Case Keenum said that even the food isn’t tasting as good—that’s how bad things are getting! Dwayne Haskins may one day be great, but getting tossed into the Giants game didn’t reassure anyone that “he’s got this.” Josh Norman hasn’t looked like Josh Norman, much like the rest of the team—sans McLaurin. They spend this week hosting the Patriots, then get some possible relief (?) against the Dolphins, but no one knows who the starting QB is and relishing in Quinton Dunbar’s team-leading two interceptions will only get you so far.
With 3/4 of the season left to play, there is still some time for Washington to turn things around, though it seems unlikely to happen at this point. If the Redskins are able to add a few more things to the half-full glass, though, that will be victory enough.
