Washington Commanders coach Ron Rivera was asked why he said the other NFC East teams are ahead of them, right now. Rivera replied, “quarterback.” He elaborated it by saying the NFL is a quarterback-driven league. The experienced coach added most of the successful teams have been able to build around a specific QB. The coach also revealed he has no regrets about their QB, Carson Wentz. 

However, former Commanders QB Alex Smith had a different opinion. He shared it on Monday Night Countdown. “I had a really hard time watching that. When I heard it, ai couldn’t believe it. I’m not here to defend Carson Wentz … But this is a defensive HC that’s absolutely driving the bus over his quarterback,” the 38-year-old said. Meanwhile, the QB comment by the coach made the fans talk on Twitter. Many of them expressed their views about the Commanders’ show and the coach’s role in it.

The 29-year-old is backed by his team coach, who said the former has done some good things in the league. But Rivera admitted his top QB struggled in two games. “There’s been a couple of games that he’s struggled, but you look at his numbers from yesterday, you look at the numbers he’s had throughout the year. There was a time he was very solid,” he added.

Meanwhile, the comments by the coach came against the backdrop of two losses to the NFC East opponents. The Commanders lost 24-8 to the Eagles. After that defeat, they also lost to the Cowboys 25-10. It made the NFL fans talk.
