Hail to the Washington Commanders

you make me feel like Debbie Downer, but I'll again be negative...

How do you think Cousins ranks this year without Jackson or Garcon?

I don't think the drop off will be all that significant. I think Pryor is a very good WR (on par with Garcon and Jackson). Crowder has proven to be reliable. Between Doctson and Quick, I think the WR corps is fine (not a significant drop off if everyone is healthy). IF (big if) Reed stays healthy, I think it'll work out just fine.

But I also tend to be optimistic before the season starts haha.
 
Skins come in at #19 on ESPN's NFL's best (and worst) arsenals: 32-1 offensive weapons ranking

19. Washington

Washington has almost entirely shifted its offense over the past two seasons, going from a team built around departed wide receivers Pierre Garcon and DeSean Jackson to a team targeting slot receiver Jamison Crowder and tight end Jordan Reed. If Jay Gruden can get new addition Terrelle Pryor and 2016 first-rounder Josh Doctson going, this could be an effective unit. It's hard to trust Reed and Doctson to stay on the field for long stretches of time, though, with Reed already hitting the PUP list because of a foot injury. Kirk Cousins has thrown 42 touchdown passes against 10 interceptions and has posted a 106.4 passer rating with Reed on the field over the past two seasons; those numbers decline to 10 touchdowns, 13 interceptions and a 86.1 passer rating with Reed sidelined. Running back also remains a major work in progress.
 
Washington S Su'a Cravens to have knee surgery today, per source. Will be ready to go for week 1. Sustained injury in preseason game 1.
 
In just 41 career starts, and two seasons as being a full-time starter, Kirk Cousins has already moved his way into the top 10 of four statistical categories in Redskins history -- including the highest completion percentage.

Cravens apparently was set to retire but changed his mind

Could be interesting. He has now left the team, but hasn't officially retired. I'm convinced our secondary will never again be worth anything.

A little concerned they went so light on receivers seeing how Doctson hasn't played, Pryor is still learning as is Quick.
