Jayden Daniels
2024 Comment: I’m thrilled! I think Daniels is the real deal and that no other potential quarterback could have been a better fit for this team at this time. I’m looking forward to many years of leadership and great play from our new starting QB.
2025: There is literally no NFL quarterback that I would rather have than Jayden Daniels. We’ve all seen his greatest on-field attribute — poise under pressure — and heard about his greatest off-the-field attributes of hard work and relentless preparation. He’s about to show the league that, not only was 2024 not a fluke, but that he’s a better QB in 2025.
Marcus Mariota
2024 Comment: Dating back to when he was drafted, I’ve never been a Mariota fan. Now he’ll be wearing the burgundy & gold, so I’ll spend the next week in deep meditation to prepare myself to root for him. If things go well, he’ll never take a snap for this franchise, which would make rooting for him much simpler.
2025: Marcus Mariota totally converted me. He’s a fantastic backup quarterback and was directly involved in helping achieve 2 of the Commanders’ 12 regular season wins in 2024. I am officially thrilled to have him back and publicly retract every doubt I ever expressed about him.
Josh Johnson
I just find it hard to get too worked up about a guy who’s probably never gonna play a snap for the team in the regular season or post season, but I recognize that, with Mariota having struggled with Achilles tendinitis throughout training camp, Johnson could be one snap away from playing against the Giants. I don’t think he’s horrible, but I was more impressed with Jeff Driskel a year ago. If Mariota is healthy, I expect Johnson to be the guy who comes off the 53-man roster to make room for someone else.
Terry McLaurin
2024 Comment: It’s important to understand that my fandom for this team dates back to when Vince Lombardi was the head coach. Terry McLaurin is my all-time favorite player for the Washington franchise. That’s damned impressive when you look at the torrent of great players that I watched from the mid-1970s to the early 1990s. I’m thinking of guys like Wilbur Marshall, John Riggins, Art Monk, and Darrell Green. Scary Terry is at the top of my list.
2025: I’m thrilled that the team got an extension done with Terry prior to the start of the season! I wish it had gotten done prior to the start of training camp. While Terry may not be the primary reason for Washington’s success in 2025, his absence probably would have been the key obstacle to the team achieving its full potential this year.
Noah Brown
2024 Comment: I like this signing and I think that Noah is going to be another guy that will put up 500+ yards and contribute to the team. Jayden...
