The NFC East is one of the strongest divisions in Jon McGlocklin Jersey the league through five games, to the shock of many. One team in the division, however, is not at the level of the 5-0 , the 4-1 and the 4-1 . The stand last in the division with only one win under their belts.There are many things you could point to as the reason they are in such a different position than the rest of the East, but head coach Ron Rivera says it comes down to one thing: the quarterback.When asked at his pre s conference Monday what sets the other teams apart, Rivera simply said, "Quarterback." "Why do you think the teams in the division are farther ahead at this point?"Ron Rivera: "quarterback" NFL on CBS (@NFLonCBS) Rivera did not roast quarterbacktoo much more. He actually had some positive things to say that were sandwiched within the criticism. "I think our quarterback has done some good things. There's been a couple games he's struggled. You look at his numbers from yesterday, he was okay. His numbers he's had throughout the year, there have been times he was very solid," Rivera said. "Most of the time he's very solid. ...

Rivera hopes that with time, Washington will be able to build a consistent winner around Wentz."The truth is, this is a quarterback-driven league," Rivera said. "The teams that have been able to sustain succe s, they've been able to build it around a specific quarterback."Wentz has 10 touchdowns this season compared to six interceptions. He's taken 20 sacks and has an overall rating of 86.0. These are George Hill Jersey not numbers that create that sustained succe s Rivera mentioned. With the game on the line this week, Wentz threw an interception at the goal line, sealing the lo s for the Commanders against the .But even with the i sues on offense, Rivera does not question the decision to sign Wentz."No, I've got no regrets about the quarterback," Rivera said. "We chose him because we believe in him. We chose him because we looked at what we felt were things that pointed towards him." Former Washington quarterback gave his opinion on the situation with the Commanders Monday night, saying it is not all on Wentz."I had a really hard time watching that," Smith said on "I'm not here to defend Wesley Matthews Jersey Carson Wentz ... but this is a defensive head coach that's absolutely driving the bus over his quarterback."Wentz's next chance to show some improvement is on "Thursday Night Football" against the .
