The Washington Commanders won a grand total of four games in 2023.
That’s why not many people saw this quick turnaround coming.
Even when they hired a new coaching staff, brought in a rookie quarterback, and added some talent to the roster, not even the most optimistic fan may have thought they would reach the NFC Championship Game in Jayden Daniels’ first year in the league.
Nonetheless, GM Adam Peters knows that this is a short-memory business.
As such, they can’t look back and feel good about what they’ve done.
If anything, they just need to get even better.
With that in mind, he released a statement on social media, talking about how everyone must strive to improve for next season.

That’s the kind of mindset one wants from his team.
In the words of the late great Kobe Bryant, the job’s not finished.
Of course, it’s great to knock on the door of a Super Bowl, but everybody plays to win the whole thing.
This Commanders team proved to be special.
Even with an underperforming defense, their stellar rookie quarterback was able to lead them to back-to-back playoff wins.
Daniels looks like a superstar in the making, and with him at the helm, this team should be very good for many years to come.
Even so, they will have a target on their backs next season, and therefore, they must ensure they improve even more.
