Rizzi: Rattler and Haener will compete in practice to see who starts vs Commanders

That's not true at all. Different QB's have different habits. Throw speed, accuracy, tendency on ball placement. Even down to the wire on the reciever anticipating what the QB will do if they get pressured. All of it is different and plays a significant role to the WR to succeed.

I don't see any all-star WR's on our roster that can adapt to two QB's in a few practices. But trying to adapt to one is certainly putting your receivers in better situation to succeed.

Hopefully this is just talk so that Washington can't gameplan for just 1 QB. Because the QB battle should've already taken place in training camp. He should already know exactly who he's starting when he's walking into the facility Monday Morning.

Anything less is failing to put your players in best position to succeed, and not good coaching.

I don’t know, this sounds like an explanation meant to exaggerate the circumstances to support a particular conclusion.

The starter went down so all of these changes and new prep become necessary, no matter what Rizzi decides. He wasn’t the training camp HC, so he isn’t bound to Allen’s judgements and depth chart, anyway.

For one week, I think the team can take a chance adapting the work load for the purpose of identifying the better of two players to (hopefully) lead this team the rest of the way. Neither of them have a lot of experience and Rattler understandably struggled under some difficult circumstances.

Losing Carr is a significant setback; everything else is just taking a shot at making the most of what remains of the season.
