In years past prediction threads on the playoffs have been posted. However if you miss a game or two it can bust your entire bracket. So this season I have decided to have a playoff prediction thread one week at a time. This weekend it is the Wild Card games. The following is the schedule and where to watch.....
I'm certainly a fan of Baker's and always admired his grit and his ability to fire up his team. He's proven to be a very good QB.
But to focus on Washington for a minute. Last year they were 4-13. Josh Harris bought the team. He did a makeover in every sense of the word. From the FO to the coaching staff to drafting a QB. As a result this year they were 12-5 during the regular season. There should be no doubt their rookie QB Jayden Daniels will be the NFL rookie of the year.
He holds the NFL record for rushing yards by a rookie QB. The highest percentage of completions for a rookie QB at 69%. He broke Commanders franchise records for most passing yards and total yards (4,459) by a rookie QB and was named NFL rookie of the week 11 times. The thing I think that has stuck out most to me is the game has not been too big for him. He always seems calm under pressure and when he does make a mistake he has the ability to shake it off and move on from it.
This total transformation of a team in a single season has truly been amazing and this kid has been a joy to watch.
