The Washington Commanders only have three games left of what's been a disastrous season. Their win over the New York Giants proved this squad is still fighting hard for head coach Dan Quinn, but shutting down quarterback Jayden Daniels sent a strong message.
It's time to start planning with the future in mind.
Obviously, the players are not interested in a high draft pick or throwing in the towel over their remaining regular-season engagements. All three contests come against bitter division rivals, so there is immense personal pride at stake. At the same time, Quinn must also recognize the need to allocate more responsibilities to those who could be part of the team's long-term plans.
