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)

Yeah Gonzales would be pretty sweet right now. Rivera was an awful HC and an even worse GM.

some how this just became the off season thread

[sdskinsfan2001]

I'm excited for every season, but normally it's optimism with the truth knowing we will most likely suck again.

This season, there is actually something worth really being excited for. 8 wins or more would be a successful 1st season with a rookie QB and is definitely possible. I think we will at least be a decent team that is competitive most games. Huge upgrade from sucking hard.

Excited to see what this offense can look like with Jayden. McLaurin is going for 1300+ this season.

[Chief X_Phackter]

There are a lot of reasons to be optimistic. It started with new ownership, then new front office, then new coaching staff, and now we potentially have our franchise QB. It's a lot to take in, in about a year's time.

Can't turn the roster over in one year, but there's no reason we can't be a real competitive team this year if JD puts in the work, and the new coaching staff caters to his strengths.

Not being competitive would be a major disappointment…we know clearly what that looks like.

I’m expecting around .500 with a lot of close wins/losses. I honestly think the defense could be better much quicker. Having good LBs will make a difference. I swear, I will NEVER understand why Ron and Jack did not just pay Bobby Wagner a couple years ago.

Ron didn't believe in linebacking.

Also optimistic, but not like 12 win optimistic. I'm really not sure on Kliff's offense and still a bit concerned about the OT position. JD balls out and it might not matter. We're probably another year away from (and no QB injuries) from "completing" the turnaround to a good overall base of talent across the roster.

Give me 8+ wins (including 3+ wins in the division) and Daniels staying healthy, and I will be happy w/ the season.
