🔗 Share this article Commanders Coach Takes Blame for Keeping Daniels in Game Before Serious Harm The Commanders leader Coach Quinn has stated he bears some the blame for a serious ailment to the squad’s signal-caller, Daniels. Particulars of the Harm and Context Jayden Daniels, who had one of the greatest first-year performances in history last season, suffered a displaced left elbow in Sunday’s defeat to the Seattle Seahawks. Even though Daniels throws with his dominant arm, the issue has left his season uncertain. The condition was serious enough that the television broadcast avoided showing repeats and several players turned away as he was treated by medical staff. Backlash and Coach’s Reaction Quinn faced criticism as many believed the rookie should not have been on the playing surface in the first place. The incident happened in the fourth quarter with the Commanders behind 38-7, rendering a comeback improbable. It is common in these circumstances for clubs to insert their backup quarterback to avoid harm to their starter. “I get that. I’ve been reflecting about it nonstop, too, and, man, I erred,” he remarked of his decision to leave Jayden in the game. “This is 100% my fault.” Aftermath and Team Outlook Mariota will be the Commanders’ starting quarterback going forward, but he will lead a team in turmoil. Following reaching the NFC championship game last season behind the rookie’s brilliance, the franchise have struggled this season. They additionally lost defensive back Marshon Lattimore (torn ACL) and pass-catcher Luke McCaffrey (broken collarbone) on Sunday, and have a host of other starters on injured reserve. The Commanders are three wins and six losses on the season, and it would require a massive reversal for the team to reach the playoffs.
