[@saundraturner4641]

Jayden is hungry and I believe he's putting his life on the line for the Wins the way he takes quick, smart, fast moves. They all need to be hungry. The OL needs to protect him more, b/c our opponents are going to try to either hurt and/or stop him with their tricks. We need some smart tricks!! Been a fan since 1975. I love them. I would love to meet Jayden.

[@user-zs2yh9uc9q]

JD5 has been very judicious with taking hits this year other than one or two games. This game was for the playoffs, and he did whatever he had too to win, he hasn’t ran over 100 yards in a game all year but did against the Falcons. That’s no coincidence. Kliff also called more designed runs for him. The kid is so cerebral. He is him.

[@paulmurray8922]

Hope in the 'Skins died in me with RGIII's leg being wrecked, and that was already halfway through Snyder's reign of chaos. A small flame of hope rekindled when the team was finally free of him. JD5 has made that flame burn white-hot.

[@smtpgirl]

Washington was lackluster in the 1st half. Glad they made the necessary adjustments. The 4th Q was pins and needles to me but they pulled out a win. LOVE MY TEAM. Been a Washington fan since 1967.

[@who.iz.kalebomari]

We definitely need Lattimore. The NFC has some of the best not just individual receivers, but WR duos in the entire league. And if we're trying to make a run in the playoffs, we have to go through Puka and Coop in LA, possibly JJefferson and Addison in Minnesota, Amon-Ra and Jameson in Detroit, Mike Evans who already gave us the work in week 1, possibly the deepest WR room in the league in Green Bay, and obviously Philly with AJ Brown and Devonta which we know plenty about already. So yeah, we definitely need Marshon back, which is why we're not rushing him back before the playoffs at all.

[@y0gi659]

I mean that’s pretty much for any team with a real qb..

[@williamhenry5339]

@ True but the reason I said that because one he runs a lot and injuries are higher with qbs that run. Also this is eerily similar to We drafted RG3. Got into the playoffs and tore and acl and was not the same again. Hopefully it doesn’t happen to him but the chances are extremely high. Hopefully he runs less next season.

[@747hitman]

thank god we drafted jayden this dude is the real deal he makes it look so easy. i feel if we had loss that coin toss in overtyme we would have lost that defense was constantly getting falcons in 3rd and long and kept giving up the big play that has to stop going forward.

[@clemondbrown]

Smitty, one of the all time greats. Probably pound for pound the strongest in the NFL in his prime. What do you think about Jayden being in the MVP conversation? Terry McClaurin had a bad ankle.

[@morrellcrowell8117]

Steve Smith correct. It's football. Daniels is just as smart on the field as talented. He protects himself when he runs. That 4th quarter he went harder than normal because the run game is inconsistent. Hes a passer 1st. This isn't RG3. Isn't Dan Snyder. Isn't Shanahan. $100 mil cap space, 7 draft picks. Wait until they get more pieces this off season

[@draco2xx]

who could we possibly get though, lot of these players are incompetent. there's no ray lewis type of linebacker, no sean taylor, no steve smith, no terrell owens, no tony gonzalez, no ed reed. low level athletes

@draco2xx Most important piece is qb and they have that. As far as other pieces, free agents and draft. It's a large market , talented qb, new ownership, good gm, new stadium. Free agents coming. I get what you mean by talent. Garrett would be a good fit. I interested to see myself

[@jordanxwilliams]

As a fan, it’s what I love most about having DQ, and listening to his story, he learned from his first stop of being a coach and how after he lost Kyle in Atlanta, things fell apart, so this go around bringing in layers, that if Kliff leaves, I wish you the best but I’m not worried, Brian Johnson, Anthony Lynn, Tavita Pritchard, there are people in place to continue The most exciting thing, and not talked about enough is who Jd is doing this year with, the fact we are upset we are missing Noah brown … no offense, Zacheus and Crowder had 2 tds last week, Jd is clearly the one who elevates the guys around him

[@rhey81]

[@kemwershabbaka4351]

They've got to upgrade the offensive line. Too much holding, but that's better than free runs on the qb. Number 24 on defense was a liability. If they got someone better they need to use him asap. If not they're not going anywhere.

[@MrBsofresh]

I hate the hit narrative. Outside of putting himself in the position to win the game that’s heart. The other 15 runs he got down or out of bounds. Being in the pocket is where he takes the biggest hits. Literally almost blew his knee standing in there. We gotta get more oline help

Please just stop with all this crap! The kid had a solid season but I’m not completely sold on him. his numbers are pretty much the same as the other rookie QBs taken . Only difference is his team got the wins for him . But Ofcourse the media always hypes up a player every year . I think he’s gonna be a decent qb in the league if he can stay healthy but I don’t see anything special

[@DBrianAshby]

He's too small to be running him as often as we do, shades of RG3 are the concern. Otherwise he is fantastic. Hopefully the running is to cover up some of the other holes we have and over time we will reduce that part of the offense.

[@halfxbreed23]

Same old argument. Get over it. RG3 frame had less to do with him getting hurt than his tendency to take hits. JD runs out of bounds and slides plenty of times. Worst hit he took (leg bent back) happened in the pocket. It's been over a decade. We can let the trauma go now
