With a trip to Berlin on the docket, the Washington Commanders declared Jayden Daniels out ahead of their battle with the Miami Dolphins overseas. With the enduring of another injury, Colin Cowherd made a controversial statement about a contract extension for the quarterback on his show, The Herd.<\/p>\n
\u201cJayden Daniels. I can\u2019t. He\u2019s hurt for the fourth time, a year-and-a-half in,\u201d Cowherd noted, when referring to the most recent injury Daniels sustained.<\/p>\n
Cowherd was speaking about quarterbacks under 25 whom he wouldn\u2019t extend. In addition to Daniels, Cowherd also listed Brock Purdy, Michael Penix Jr., and Bo Nix, among others.<\/p>\n
With Daniels out, the Commanders have turned to Marcus Mariota to be their starting quarterback. It has not worked out; the team has struggled in the absence of their star quarterback, and their season has fallen apart. Entering Week 11, the Commanders find themselves 3-7, with their playoff hopes slipping.<\/p>\n
Cowherd is one of a few sports media personalities who have heavily criticised quarterbacks dealing with injuries. With Daniels sustaining multiple injuries, the pattern is looking very familiar in Landover, Maryland. Of course, the Commanders do not have to give their quarterback a contract extension yet. But there will be a time when his rookie deal ends.<\/p>\n
Daniels produced mixed results this season, passing for 1,184 yards, eight touchdowns, and two interceptions. Additionally, he has run 54 times for 262 yards and three touchdowns while fumbling three times. Last season, he passed for 3,568 yards, 25 touchdowns, and nine interceptions, while rushing 148 times for 891 yards, scoring six touchdowns, and fumbling 5 times.<\/p>\n
While Daniels has avoided surgery, there is concern about the star quarterback. Alarmingly, many fans are drawing similarities between him and Robert Griffin III. As he recovers from his injury, Daniels hopes to repeat the same path that ultimately derailed Griffin\u2019s career, while bouncing back and leading the Commanders back to the playoffs next season.<\/p>\n
After the\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers\u00a0lost to the Los Angeles Chargers\u00a0in horrendous fashion on\u00a0Sunday Night Football<\/em>, losing 25-10 in a game in which the Steelers never looked competitive at all, there were many questions brought up about the state of the team on both sides of the ball. The offense couldn’t get anything going whatsoever, with current Steelers quarterback\u00a0Aaron Rodgers\u00a0playing one of his worst games ever as a professional, completing\u00a016 of 31 passes for 161 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. The defense failed to stop Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert\u00a0when it mattered most, allowing him to give his wide receiver Ladd McConkey\u00a0a\u00a0107-yard performance on only four receptions.<\/p>\n One major criticism the Steelers faced in recent weeks was their inability to get Rodgers additional help on the offense, particularly at wide receiver. Before the season started, the Steelers traded for current wide receiver\u00a0DK Metcalf. However, they traded away former wide receiver\u00a0George Pickens\u00a0two months later, depriving Rodgers of a solid second option at the receiver position.\u00a0<\/p>\n Speculation has existed for a long time on why Pickens was traded away and if it was the best move for the Steelers. On 93.7 The Fan, insider Mark Kaboly recently\u00a0made an appearance\u00a0to discuss a wide range of topics, and the conversation shifted to whether or not the Steelers should have kept Pickens. Kaboly’s comments in response to the question are telling about what could have been brewing in the Steelers’ locker room with Pickens present.<\/p>\n “I don’t think that was possible,” Kaboly said. “I think that was out of his hands, it was in the players’ hands at that point. The players were done with him. Key players were done with him. They were not happy with the way he conducted himself, and it was just time.”<\/p>\n Kaboly saying that Pickens essentially ran himself out of town is concerning. Pickens is an incredible player in terms of talent, and it shows in the games he has played for the Dallas Cowboys throughout the 2025 season. The Steelers essentially sacrificed a solid option for Rodgers behind Metcalf to keep the locker room unified, which in some ways, has been a positive change for the team while serving as a negative change in others.<\/p>\n The Steelers’ wide receiver room has been\u00a0praised recently for the attitude adjustment within the locker room, and keeping Pickens when certain players may not have wanted him to remain with the team would have undermined the progress made to keep the positive attitude adjustments going. Even with how Pickens could have revolutionized the offense behind Metcalf, the rift that it could have created within the locker room could have derailed the season before it even started.\u00a0<\/p>\n Kaboly’s comment regarding Pickens having no real say in his future in Pittsburgh is interesting in another way as well. Even with Pickens gone, the Steelers need to make important changes on offense to make up for the production Pickens would have given them.<\/p>\n The Steelers have many different options on the offensive side of the ball that have been underutilized at times, with some of these cases leading to the team losing critical games. Even though the team tried to get another receiver for Rodgers, the team should also focus on getting players like current tight end\u00a0Darnell Washington\u00a0more snaps. Washington only saw\u00a0one target in the game against the Chargers, which he caught for 15 yards. Washington’s snap count needs to increase to make him a more pivotal piece in the offense to serve the role that Pickens would have served had he remained in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With a trip to Berlin on the docket, the Washington Commanders declared Jayden Daniels out ahead of their battle with the Miami Dolphins overseas.
