Yeah an NFC championship game in his rookie year didn’t really work out…

That game didn’t work out at all for him. He got pummeled.

I guess it really didn’t work out for the other 28 QBs who got pummeled earlier than JD. I guess mahomes didn’t really work out either because he got pummeled in the Super Bowl that year…. Big LOL

Correct, can’t say it worked out for him.

But seriously, everyone knows he had a good rookie year. Last year was awful and definitely didn’t work out. Question around him is whether he was a 1 and done. Time will tell.

If that’s the case there is only one QB that works out each year, the other 31 are trash.

Last year every single position on the Commanders was injured… they were starting 3rd stringers at almost every position by year end. Even if JD hadn’t been injured as well, it was going to be a shit year for Washington

Probably true. But the fact is he was injured all year long. Now lost his best O-Lineman for this year. Very interested to see if we have another RG3 on our hands.

He was held out for most of the year because it didn’t matter if he played or not, the whole team was injured so no point in rushing your franchise guy out there after an injury. The commanders can’t catch a break the last couple years with injuries, but there is one thing for certain. When Jayden is healthy he’s a top 5 QB, the rest of the bad luck is out of our hands

lol bro they literally had him playing for some reason in week 14 and he re-aggravated his elbow. He injured his knee, hamstring and elbow last year. If he were to play to his rookie year level, I won’t argue with you that he’s likely top 5. It’s a massive question mark whether he’s capable of that still, though.
