The Commanders head coach Dan Quinn has stated he shares a portion of the fault for a serious ailment to the team’s quarterback, Jayden Daniels.
Daniels, who had one of the greatest rookie campaigns of all time last season, sustained a displaced elbow joint in the Sunday defeat to the Seattle Seahawks. Even though the quarterback throws with his right arm, the injury has placed his campaign in doubt. The injury was serious enough that the TV coverage avoided showing repeats and multiple athletes turned away as he was attended to by medical staff.
Quinn faced scrutiny as many felt Daniels should not have been on the field in the first place. The incident occurred in the fourth quarter with the Commanders trailing 38-7, rendering a recovery unlikely. It is typical in these circumstances for teams to put in their reserve QB to prevent injuries to their starter.
“I get that. I’ve been reflecting about it constantly, too, and, wow, I missed it,” he remarked of his choice to leave Daniels in the game. “This is 100% my fault.”
Marcus Mariota will be the team’s primary QB from now on, but he will guide a team in turmoil. After reaching the NFC championship game last season behind Daniels’s brilliance, the franchise have struggled currently. They additionally saw injuries to cornerback Lattimore (torn ACL) and wide receiver McCaffrey (broken collarbone) on Sunday, and have a number of other starters on the injury list. The Washington squad are 3-6 so far, and it would require a huge reversal for the team to reach the postseason.
