With QB Billy Kilmer in the twilight of his career, only two years removed from a Super Bowl Championship season, Washington has moved on to a newly emerging star in Joe Theismann.  It is reported by teammates that Theismann throws a crisper ball than Kilmer, and that testimony is evidenced by the typically tight, soaring spirals of ‘Joey T’ versus the high wobblers of Kilmer.  Theismann also brings to the team more mobility and youthful zeal (which is necessary since it seems half of Washington’s roster has gained their AARP cards).  Most importantly, though, is the fact that Washington has not skipped a beat as the baton has been passed. 

Washington was expected to be a playoff caliber team, but no one projected them to be going toe to toe with the Dallas Cowboys three quarters of the way through the season.  But alas, there Washington sits at (11-1), sharing the apex of the NFC East with the vaunted Cowboys. 

Despite a somewhat lackluster receiving corps Theismann has found much success, notching 18 TDs compared to just one INT.  His passing yards are not gaudy at just under 1,500, but his 60% completion rate is second only to the immortal Roger Staubach. 

In Week 11 of the 1978 Tecmo Legacy League season there was no better quarterbacking performance than Theismann’s effort against the Bears.  The gun slinging QB missed only four times on 15 attempts, throwing for over 200 yards, while producing 5 TDs en route to a 38-0 victory.
