"It went as well as anyone could've hoped for and then some. This time around has brought some harsh reality checks. The Commanders are 2-2 after four weeks. Injuries have plagued the offense, and the defense has underperformed. Coaching and management decisions have come under scrutiny. All in all, success doesn't feel as easy as it did last year. Welcome to life in the NFL. It's not supposed to be easy."
"The Commanders were one of the league's trendy regression picks over the summer. While it's still too early to make any definitive judgments, what can be confirmed is that the vibes are not as positive as they were last year. Wins feel more like the standard than the goal, and losses feel more demoralizing, creating the warped perception of taking steps back."
"General manager Adam Peters, head coach Dan Quinn, together with the staff and roster they assembled, are not immortal deities who can turn everything they touch into gold. Jayden Daniels isn't some magical superhero who can carry his team with sheer willpower. They are humans, and humans are imperfect beings. The mistakes and vulnerabilities of the Commanders' new regime have been highlighted in recent weeks."
The Washington Commanders entered 2024 with a new quarterback, head coach, and general manager after a successful previous season. After four weeks the team sits 2-2 amid offensive injuries and defensive underperformance. Coaching and management decisions have drawn scrutiny while team morale feels diminished as wins became expected and losses more demoralizing. The front office and coaching staff are fallible, and Jayden Daniels cannot single-handedly overcome roster and schematic issues. Recent concerns include the Marshon Lattimore trade, defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr.'s schemes, Terry McLaurin's conditioning, and Daniels' injury. The roster has shown resilience and can still rebound this season.
