Staffers with Good Vibes

  • Tripp Brebner: The Commanders exceeded expectations and feel like they're rising stars. If head coach Dan Quinn can fix a leaky defense, they might push Philly.
  • Maurile Tremblay: Jayden Daniels enters Year?2 with Kingsbury, a fortified line, and Deebo/McLaurin weapons, so volume and efficiency trends look bullish.
  • Kyle Bellefeuil: Last year, Jayden Daniels was a rookie sensation who helped propel the Commanders to the NFC Championship game. Things are good and promising in Washington.
  • Phil Alexander: Washington landed a franchise quarterback. That was the hard part. Sustained success should come more easily.
  • Jason Wood: Washington got the quarterback refresh right and is now poised to be one of the NFC's contenders for years to come.
  • Hutchinson Brown: The Commanders dramatically exceeded expectations last season and now with Jayden Daniels, they are built for a bright future if they can add the right pieces.
  • Jeff Haseley: The Commanders took down the mighty Lions in the playoffs last year. Good things are happening with Kliff Kingsbury and Jayden Daniels.
  • Jeff Bell: The Commanders were the biggest surprise of 2024, going from the second pick to the NFC title game.
  • Jeff Blaylock: Jayden Daniels won the same number of playoff games last year as Dak Prescott has won in his career.
  • Andy Hicks: Jayden Daniels gave this franchise an instant shot in the arm. Is there upside? Can the team handle adversity? All signs point to Yes.
  • David Zacharias: Having a dynamic young quarterback with a deep supporting cast and the second-easiest division schedule bodes well.
  • Ben Cummins: Jayden Daniels is a superstar who elevates the entire offense.
  • Craig Lakins: The Commanders struck gold and overachieved with rookie Jayden Daniels last season. I expect it to remain wheels-up in Washington.

Staffers with Neutral Vibes
