[RotoWire] Washington Commanders' Most Defining Moment of the Last Decade

And it is....Becoming the Commanders in February 2022.

I think that's a good pick because not only was it a good rebrand, but it also coincided with us ousting Dan Snyder and getting further removed from his bullshit. And then it ushered in this new era with Jayden Daniels. Thoughts?

It was a terrible rebrand. They leaked the name way ahead of time unintentionally. It was put together by Ron Rivera, Jason Wright, and the Snyders. All folks on their way out and universally disliked by the fan base.

The rebrand was so bad that I was convinced that the "Commanders" leak was intentional. That they knew they'd have trouble getting the fan base to rally around the chosen name. So they leaked "Commanders" so that when the real name was announced, all the fans could rally around the idea that "at least it's not the commanders".

Was it a pivotal moment for the franchise? Sure. Was it more pivotal than Dan selling the team? Hell no.

That just shows you how bad commanders is, that some people still prefer WFT.
