The Washington Commanders feel confident about their chances for improvement heading into the 2024 NFL Season.
After having one of the worst records in the league last year, the Commanders made several key changes to the team’s makeup that should help them in the future.
Adding Jayden Daniels in the draft was a large potential boost to their offense, and a new head coach could also help.
When Dan Quinn was initially announced as the team’s choice as head coach, it raised a few heads because he hadn’t been a head coach since his time with the Atlanta Falcons, which ended with him getting fired after an 0-5 start to the year.
However, after spending time with the Dallas Cowboys as their defensive coordinator, Quinn showed that he had turned things around, and wanted an opportunity to be the No. 1 guy again.
Quinn talked about his decision to join the Commanders in a recent appearance on Jim Rome’s show.
“One, you know how damn important this team is to the NFL. When you see a team and city connected and what can happen when that takes place, it’s really a big deal,” Rome said.

Quinn believes in the history of the Commanders and wants to be a major part of the team’s change for the foreseeable future.
Daniels is viewed as an immediate difference-maker for the organization, and if Quinn can provide similar value, there’s no telling what their ceiling could be.
Of course, they’ll have to play at least six games against the NFC East this year, a division that has played fantastic football in recent seasons.
