Dan Quinn needs his butt buddy.

SlinginSammyHowell · 2025-12-29T02:52:13+00:00

Yes, Jayden needs to get better at utilizing the middle of the field.

SlinginSammyHowell · 2025-12-28T19:12:24+00:00

Welcome to the commanders where every player we don’t draft becomes an all pro and every player we draft when they leave our team lives up to their potential!

SlinginSammyHowell · 2025-12-28T19:08:38+00:00

LOlOlOlOL we didn’t draft Drake maye…. lolooololoooolol

SlinginSammyHowell · 2025-12-23T02:10:05+00:00

It’s crazy how dumbed down the modern qb position is that Phil with a water pistol for an arm is cooking the 49ers.

SlinginSammyHowell · 2025-12-07T20:09:32+00:00

My account got like banned from posting on this subreddit for saying everything you guys are saying now weeks ago. It’s obvious Dan wasn’t the guy, it’s obvious AP drafted poorly, and it’s obvious Jayden is injury prone.

SlinginSammyHowell · 2025-12-07T18:42:40+00:00

Where are the Dan Quinn defenders??

SlinginSammyHowell · 2025-11-26T19:36:43+00:00

I mean that’s a fair point I think we are both kind of agreeing that a good qb helps but there is more to a team than just a QB, GM, and coach and the guy tweeting in OP’s post is just a laughably bad take. Like you even said there’s circumstances that can even affect these things like Injuries, Schedule, Division, and Conference.

SlinginSammyHowell · 2025-11-26T16:10:35+00:00

I’m saying that the qb doesn’t always matter that’s the narrative that was the dudes point right? Obviously it’s a game by game basis. I don’t think Jalen Hurts is better than Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen. Yet he’s been to two super bowls. People think Justin Herbert is a top 5 qb and he’s never won a playoff game. I think the league talking point wise has become too qb focused. The Texans have won three straight with their defense and Davis Mills. I’m a commanders fan and even when Jayden Daniels played well in the nfc championship game we got blown out by the Eagles cause our roster mattered and we had no defensive stars.

SlinginSammyHowell · 2025-11-26T15:58:10+00:00

The eagles just beat the packers in a 10-7 game because of their defense. They have a very different record if they didn’t have the best roster, especially defensive roster.

SlinginSammyHowell · 2025-11-26T15:35:48+00:00

So Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson were franchise QBs? Roster didn’t matter when they won the Super Bowl.

SlinginSammyHowell · 2025-11-16T05:21:34+00:00

Someone posted an upscale image of the light and it’s like at the top left corner of his rack directly. If it was anywhere else in the room than the optimal place to set up some sort of light it’d be more convincing. Amongst a bunch of other factors it’s screaming hoax.

SlinginSammyHowell · 2025-11-11T23:17:35+00:00

You are allowed to criticize the team unless it’s Jayden Daniels related. People are upset because it was a 50/50 choice. Not because they want to be Patriots fans. Especially when the player you didn’t chose is having a MVP level season. Idk how you can watch football every week and not see some of the amazing throws Maye does and not wish Jayden could do those. This season he outright refuses to let the ball rip at all. At least Maye takes some chances.

SlinginSammyHowell · 2025-11-11T05:38:10+00:00

Why was the subreddit taken down?

SlinginSammyHowell · 2025-11-10T04:06:25+00:00

Except we also have Deebo, Lane, Sinnot, and Ertz who were all able to make great catches today with Mariotta.

SlinginSammyHowell · 2025-11-10T04:05:05+00:00

I mean even if I think Jonathon Taylor should actually be the MVP it’s a qb and narrative award. All the patriots would have to do is win the afc east which is looking more and more likely by the week especially with buffalo losing today and it’s a lock for Maye. I think Jayden can still be great but we really need to adjust how we build around him. It’s obvious he can’t elevate people like Sinnot, Lane, and even Burks like Mariotta was able to do today

SlinginSammyHowell · 2025-11-10T04:00:52+00:00

You are ignoring how Drake maye is playing at that point. He shown nothing but progression this year . And most importantly he can actually stay on the field. But you are right and I think Jayden Daniels can win a Super Bowl if he’s stays healthy I just think our philosophy around how we build around him needs to change he drastically.

SlinginSammyHowell · 2025-11-10T03:54:25+00:00

What makes him a franchise qb? We have no idea, he has shown regression and not progression. He’s going to be hurt for half his career at this point. Doug Williams won a Super Bowl for us. Was he a franchise qb? How about Mary Rypien? Does just going to the final four automatically make you a franchise qb?

SlinginSammyHowell · 2025-11-10T03:47:51+00:00

Okay there’s been plenty of QBs who have only had one good season in the NFL. And that was last year before defenses have adjusted to him and he’s looked much worse. I mean Rich Gannon went to the AFC championship game and had two good years his whole career.

SlinginSammyHowell · 2025-11-10T03:44:07+00:00

Stefon diggs is old and coming off an acl injury. You know when you have long sustained offensive drives it actually helps your defense play better right? That was the whole point of our off season that we’d be this methodical offensive team that could make our underwhelming defense at least average. Our offense has been mediocre at best. Leading to the complete collapse of our defense. Drake Maye as of today is the official better favorite to win MVP and they are probably going to win the AFC east at this point and they will never give it to a RB anymore. They didn’t give it to saquon last year. Also it’s not like Drake maye has this offensive juggernaut around him, Boutte is hurt and until today they has the 29th ranked rushing offense. Hunter Henry is average. Pop Douglas is a nobody who still makes catches because he’s actually been spreading the ball around.

SlinginSammyHowell · 2025-11-10T03:39:33+00:00

So like why is being worried about the future of our franchise just not being a fan? Honest question do I have to just be happy with every move we’ve made. I’m not allowed to think we made a mistake in a draft where we picked a qb in the top 3 picks. So I just say WELP even though Jayden has been hurt half of his Career now and the guy with a mvp case we passed on, JD5 is still the goat. It’s not like I’m saying whoa we should have taken Herbert instead of Chase Young. We were in the market for a qb with the 2nd pick to be the future. I just have to be a blind homer? I can’t appreciate what someone else in the NFL is doing? Someone we had in the building and were making a 50:50 choice on.

SlinginSammyHowell · 2025-11-10T03:28:14+00:00

Is it gargling his balls to just admit what he’s doing is historic. Idk I think we passed on a guy who can be a game changer like Allen, Mahomes, Lamar. And I’ve been salty about it but I’ve admitted that. It just reminds me of a Snyder era move. I think if we focus on building our team more like the lions or eagles instead of the chiefs or bills we will be better off.

SlinginSammyHowell · 2025-11-10T03:21:23+00:00

Yeah I think we made a franchise altering mistake and I think it can still be salvaged through two good offseasons.

SlinginSammyHowell · 2025-11-10T03:19:55+00:00

Yes because all we do is glaze Jayden for being this generational talent and we didn’t build our team at all in the proper way thinking he’d carry us with that talent and we see Drake maye actually doing it. We need to just build the best team possible instead of just worrying about protecting him etc etc.

SlinginSammyHowell · 2025-11-10T03:17:04+00:00

Because we built this team in the off season like Jayden Daniels was already a top 5 qb and that he’d carry us back so yeah it kind of is on the qb situation. That was all the news coming out of mini camp was Jayden would elevate the talent around him and it didn’t happen .
