Coach Dan Quinn preaches the virtues of competition, but it already seems clear that the rookie quarterback will be the Commanders’ Week 1 starter.
Even though Jayden Daniels split first-team reps with Marcus Mariota on Wednesday, the first day of Washington Commanders training camp, it’s still clear the team is not holding a real quarterback “competition” this summer.
It’s more accurate to say it is Daniels’s job to lose and that first-year coach Dan Quinn, who arrived preaching the virtues of competition, seems to be calling it a “competition” because he feels compelled to make every player compete for everything — no exceptions.
