I read that Mims was having a good camp until he got hurt.

I guess it wasn't good enough not to cut his ass.

Meanwhile, in Cleveland...

The Athletic article also adds this...

...not since early in camp have we seen strings of consecutive completions in any 11-on-11 period.

...

There just hasn’t been much consistency, and there hasn’t been much of anything more than 10 yards downfield. Watson threw bad interceptions after getting caught locking in on one receiver each day of the joint practices.

We dodged such a bullet on Watson. Seems like everything Tepper lusts after in the game of football is gonna be a bad idea.

Ron Rivera named Sam Howell the Commanders’ starting quarterback Friday, officially giving him a title he’d all but received several months ago, when Washington appointed him the lead quarterback entering training camp.
“He’s basically met the challenge we talked about, and that was seeing the growth and improvement from OTAs and minicamp … and then going into training camp and continuing to grow and show us what he’s capable of,” Rivera said before practice. “We’ve been very pleased with it, to the point where [Thursday] I decided to name him the starter.”

Howell took almost all of the first-team reps in camp, a clear indicator of the lack of a true competition. He offered no reason to believe Brissett was the better option and showed continued improvement throughout the offseason program and training camp.

I believe he very much lacks patience and wouldn’t be surprised if he took another decade to learn at least some. 
Doesn’t make him evil, just flawed.

I’d much rather his flaw be never being around.

CJ Stroud is looking pretty good today. Will Anderson also just had a nice play.

He led a nice FG drive. His ball placement was impressive. He was getting a little more time from his line so that obviously helps.
