Commanders\u2019 Dan Quinn among 2 coaches to earn A+ grade in leaked NFLPA report cards<\/a> appeared first on ClutchPoints<\/a>. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These days, Washington Commanders<\/a> head coach Dan Quinn<\/a> is looking intently at draft possibilities. But his head coaching status may be tenuous<\/a> entering the 2026 season. Still, Quinn was among two coaches<\/a> to earn an A+ grade in leaked NFL Players Association report cards, according to a post on X by Dianna Russini.<\/p>\n

Commanders Dan Quinn still a player\u2019s coach<\/p>\n

Quinn has indeed enjoyed a pair of sparkling seasons as a head coach. One was the Falcons\u2019 run to the Super Bowl, even though it ended in a collapsing disaster. Also, he led the Commanders\u2019 surprise journey to the NFC Championship game in 2025.<\/p>\n

But win or lose, Quinn has typically been held in high regard by his players. And that\u2019s apparently how Quinn landed a shining grade from the NFLPA.<\/p>\n

Part of it is the way he talks about and encourages his players, even though the NFL is a high-pressure world. An example is his praise for Commanders offensive lineman Chris Paul. He was one of the worst run-blocking guards<\/a> in the NFL during the 2025 season, according to Pro Football Focus. He ranked No. 78 out of 81.<\/p>\n

But Quinn praised Paul for his pass protection.<\/p>\n

\u201cA couple of things that jump out to me are the combination blocks,\u201d Quinn said. \u201cThe two of them [Laremy Tunsil and Paul], these are strong people that can move people off the line of scrimmage. And I thought, because of Chris\u2019 athleticism, the thing that showed up the most to me was him in pass protection.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul ranked No. 5 in the NFL in pass blocking. But the bad run grade pushed his overall grade down to 49.8. Again, it was near the bottom of No. 73 out of 81.<\/p>\n

If nothing else, Quinn is loyal. But is that the best way to win in the dog-eat-dog NFL?<\/p>\n
