Jayden Daniels - Commanders QB Thread

[sdskinsfan2001]

I'm excited for every season, but normally it's optimism with the truth knowing we will most likely suck again.

This season, there is actually something worth really being excited for. 8 wins or more would be a successful 1st season with a rookie QB and is definitely possible. I think we will at least be a decent team that is competitive most games. Huge upgrade from sucking hard.

Excited to see what this offense can look like with Jayden. McLaurin is going for 1300+ this season.

There are a lot of reasons to be optimistic. It started with new ownership, then new front office, then new coaching staff, and now we potentially have our franchise QB. It's a lot to take in, in about a year's time.

Can't turn the roster over in one year, but there's no reason we can't be a real competitive team this year if JD puts in the work, and the new coaching staff caters to his strengths.

Not being competitive would be a major disappointment…we know clearly what that looks like.

I’m expecting around .500 with a lot of close wins/losses. I honestly think the defense could be better much quicker. Having good LBs will make a difference. I swear, I will NEVER understand why Ron and Jack did not just pay Bobby Wagner a couple years ago.

Ron didn't believe in linebacking.

Also optimistic, but not like 12 win optimistic. I'm really not sure on Kliff's offense and still a bit concerned about the OT position. JD balls out and it might not matter. We're probably another year away from (and no QB injuries) from "completing" the turnaround to a good overall base of talent across the roster.

Give me 8+ wins (including 3+ wins in the division) and Daniels staying healthy, and I will be happy w/ the season.

In general the league doesn't believe in traditional 3 or 4 LB sets anymore. But I get what you're saying, even with that said Ron and co did a poor job at getting even decent LB talent in here.
