Jayden Daniels - Commanders QB Thread

[Darrell Green Fan]

I'm not sure Forbes is in danger of being cut given the lack of depth at the position. As for Daniels he is the reason I will be pumped on opening day. I pray, well I don't actually pray about anything, but my fear he is hurt early and we won't know what we have as we watch our season go down the drain in September. Please do not let this happen football Gods, we deserve this one.

I felt that Forbes would need to significantly bulk up in the off-season to have any chance of starting or even making the team. From the photos I've seen of him at camp he hasn't done so. Also, this new football organization doesn't have any obligation to keep him, so I think they may not.

Forbes will be just fine. No chance he's cut. Running with the 2s, 3s, 1s...at this point in the offseason it doesn't really matter much.

His issued did not appear to be his weight His issue appeared to be he can't cover.

You are right that Forbes can't cover but in my mind nobody who weighs 165 pounds should have even been considered as a draft pick, much less a first round pick over Christian Gonzales.

The problem we have at corner is because RR failed to draft Christian Gonzales when he had the chance. Gonzales is far superior to Forbes, and as I said before the 2023 draft, it was a no brainer to pick Gonzales over any other available player if he fell to us. Gonzales was the perfect pick for us and, incredibly, RR muffed the pick.

Also, Quinn likes to play press man coverage most of the time and he prefers "run and hit" type players. Forbes just doesn't fit those criteria and I predict he will be gone from here sooner rather than later.

agree! and for those saying but he is a 1st round pick; to this new regime he is a sunk cost; cut bait. Only RR at this point would care if he was still here because he invested his first round pick in him and want to show he didn't make a bad pick (he did though)

We really should take this Forbes debate to the other thread, but to be clear I'm not saying we should keep Forbes because we used a first round pick on him last year. Worst case scenario trade him for a late round draft pick - somebody will take a flyer on him because things like being on a rookie contract with 3+ years left on it are worth something.

If Quinn wants to get rid of him I agree, do it now. His value is already low. But no way he just gets cut.
