The Cult Of Cult: So What, Exactly, Is The Endgame? - a podcast by SB Nation

You’ve heard the news and are likely still processing, but sometimes it helps to have a buddy to process things with. On this edition of the Cult of Colt we talk about the only thing on everyone’s mind this week: the fact that there are no good fantasy football running backs to speak of. I mean what is that??
No, but actually, this week we devoted our full attention to the mystifying decision at hand to bench the previously ordained Quarterback Of The Future in Dwayne Haskins Jr. in favor of backup Kyle Allen. Anyway that you look at it, the rationale lacks clarity, and believe me when I say that we look at it from all angles this evening.
As the saying goes, this team makes us drink. Gumbi came prepared with the Hershey’s Chocolate Porter from Yeungling, I joined him with another PA-inspired beverage, the Philly Special from Iron Hill. You gotta do what you gotta do when it comes to The Washington Football team.
In what has been dubbed in as many words an rebuilding year (or we can use their terminology up until yesterday of an “evaluation” year) things have kind of made sense: the coaches have assembled a series of young players who make up for an otherwise lack of earth-shattering talent with a desire to prove themselves for the years to come. They allow those players to show their mettle, they sink — or they swim, and one way or another there is a pool of evidence and tape to evaluate and make decisions based off of for the years to come.
Then came yesterday’s decision to bench perhaps the singular player whose lack of experience needed the most evaluating, thereby taking what was a straightforward, albeit somewhat ugly, process, and removing the rudder directly, leaving the future directionless and floating adrift.
There are now more questions than answers, and even fewer paths to finding those answers for the future. Join us as we try to make sense of that which is seemingly senseless this week on The Cult Of Colt.
