All you can do is laugh when your team goes 20 years without stable, high-quality quarterbacking -- and then suddenly finds itself with two QBs to get excited about.
Santana Moss reached the playoffs in three of his first four NFL seasons, all with the New York Jets. After Washington acquired him in 2005 for Laveranues Coles, via a straight-up trade, Moss advanced to the postseason in two of his first three years with the Redskins. He was accustomed to such success, having lost just eight times in three seasons at Miami, going 3-0 in bowl games.
As late-summer darkness blanketed Washington one night last month, the quarterback came to life. The familiar braids and right arm that hasn't unleashed a regular-season NFL pass towered 74 feet over Pennsylvania Avenue.
Chris Cooley has been with the Washington Redskins from the Patrick Ramsey and Mark Brunell eras through Jason Campbell, Donovan McNabb and Rex Grossman. Thursday's preseason opener at the Buffalo Bills was his first in-game look at Robert Griffin III.
The quarterback hierarchy has been clearly set by the New York Jets.
Each time Tim Tebow steps on the field for the New York Jets, defenses will know what to expect.
Mark Sanchez is the Jets' main man, not Peyton Manning.
The St. Louis Rams are open to offers for the No. 2 pick in the NFL draft — and the chance to abscond with Robert Griffin III, the Heisman Trophy winner from Baylor. Stand back, everybody. This could get crazy.

The fallout from the New York Jets failing to make the NFL playoffs is in full swing, with members of coach Rex Ryan's staff leaving, players taking shots at quarterback Mark Sanchez and other players defending him.
Seventeen years. The Redskins have been searching for a quarterback to lead them out of the wilderness for that long. You'd think he was hiding in a mountain cave along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border (where his agent had stashed him to drive up his price).
Mark Sanchez is ready to go for the New York Jets.
Deep breath, Jets fans. It appears Mark Sanchez is going to play.
Quarterback David Garrard was seemingly another bad game away from getting benched, quite possibly for good, in Jacksonville.
New York Jets coach Rex Ryan considered benching quarterback Mark Sanchez in the third quarter of Sunday's 10-6 loss to Miami.
"Mark would agree with this, that we've been fortunate, especially this last game," said backup quarterback Mark Brunell, in his 18th NFL season.
"There were a couple of tips and we were like, 'Oh, that was a close one!'
