In Washington’s season-opening loss to Tampa Bay, McLaurin broke open deep on several occasions. Either Daniels missed him or didn’t throw it McLaurin’s way. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/commanders-news-terry-mclaurin-drops-mic-with-blunt-jayden-daniels-take">McLaurin, as always, remained patient</a>. Daniels missed McLaurin deep again in the first half of Monday night’s 38-33 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football. However, that disappointment was short-lived as the rookie passer finally <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/commanders-news-fans-stunned-over-who-caught-jayden-daniels-first-career-passing-td">connected deep with McLaurin</a> for a 55-yard completion to set up first-and-goal and the Commanders’ second touchdown.</p><p>The duo wasn’t finished, though. In the fourth quarter, up 31-26 with over two minutes remaining, the Commanders faced a third-and-7. Would Washington play it safe and go for the field goal? Of course, they wouldn’t. Instead, the Commanders showed complete faith in their rookie quarterback, <a href="https://twitter.com/NFL/status/1838409377935691793" rel="noopener">who delivered a strike</a> to McLaurin in the end zone for a 27-yard touchdown. It was a picture-perfect throw and catch.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">JAYDEN DANIELS. TERRY MCLAURIN.

The moment has Commanders fans buzzing, especially after an iconic photo was captured. It’s the perfect highlight of a decisive win over the Bengals. Now, the Daniels-McLaurin connection will look to dominate Washington’s next opponent: the Arizona Cardinals.</p><h2><b>What’s next for the Commanders?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Terry-McLaurin-Catch-Commanders-Bengals.jpg"><figcaption>Katie Stratman-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Commanders are on the road in Week 4 to face the Cardinals. This one will mean more to Washington offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury than most. After failing to build on some early momentum, Kingsbury was fired as Arizona Cardinals head coach. He’ll seek to silence some in the region who criticized his methods heavily and design an attack to win. While winning the game will be Kingsbury’s primary focus, it will be sweet for him to knock off the man who replaced him: Jonathan Gannon.</p><p>The Cardinals are no pushover. They have a healthy Kyler Murray back under center and boast some explosive young defenders capable of impacting proceedings considerably once early momentum is generated. Arizona also drafted wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. at No. 4 overall, who many believe is a generational prospect who has immediately taken the NFL by storm.</p><p>With two explosive dual-threat quarterbacks taking the field between Murray and Daniels, it’s bound to be a high-scoring matchup. But momentum is on the Commanders’ side after a decisive win over the Bengals. Hopefully, that means more dimes from Daniels to McLaurin.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Daniels was fearless under pressure and made excellent decisions all night long. <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2024/09/24/jayden-daniels-stats-commanders-bengals/75357628007/" rel="noopener">He also set an NFL rookie record for single-game completion percentage</a> after completing 91.3% of his passes.</p><p>McLaurin also delivered a message to Commanders fans after the huge game.</p><p>“Continue to support us,” McLaurin said. “We have a will to win and a determination….It’s exciting to be a Commander right now!”</p><p>The Commanders are tied with the Eagles at the top of the NFC East.

He also looked poised and comfortable in the pocket, which isn’t always true of a rookie QB in his third career game.</p><p>Daniels’ teammates are <a href="https://www.espn.ph/nfl/story/_/id/41410717/rookie-jayden-daniels-leads-commanders-bengals-mnf" rel="noopener">very impressed with how quickly he adapted to the NFL</a>.</p><p>“I think he grew up tonight,” McLaurin said, via ESPN’s John Keim. “I’m so excited for him because now as a rookie, once you see those throws, you get more confidence. And I think this confidence is just going through the roof right now.”</p><p>Commanders coach Dan Quinn also heaped praise on Daniels.</p><p>“He’s continuing to grow on the job,” Quinn said.</p><p>Guard Nick Allegretti believes that Daniels is one of the best rookies he has every played with.</p><p>“It’s shocking how composed he is, but it’s not,” Allegretti said. “It’s just the situation is what it is. What am I going to do? Panic and ruin it. He’s not like that. He’s just situation is what it is. Get 11 in a huddle. Let’s call a play. He is as composed of a rookie as I’ve seen and at the hardest position football. If that guy’s stressed, everyone else tightens up. So he may not be doing it on purpose, but his composure composes the entire offense.”</p><p>The Commanders will be one of the best surprises of the 2024 NFL season if they can keep this up.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

McLaurin is a sixth-year veteran while Daniels was the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/commanders-news-dan-quinn-swagger-truth-bomb-jayden-daniels">No. 2 overall pick</a> in the NFL Draft.</p><p>McLaurin <a href="https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-pff-wide-receiver-rankings-top-32-ahead-of-the-2024-nfl-season" rel="noopener">ranks as the No. 16 receiver</a> by Pro Football Focus for 2024, despite a five-year career hindered by weak QB play. But McLaurin said he sees hope that things are changing as he <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoAAmUBCUlY" rel="noopener">visited in studio</a> with ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt.</p><p>“I think the first thing that stood out to me about Jayden Daniels (was) the poise he (brought), the first day in the building,” McLaurin said. “It seemed like he knew the entire offense when we got there.</p><p>“He’s in there calling the huddle through the walkthroughs. He’s calling the plays, and he’s extremely confident. It’s a testament to his preparation and the studying he did on his own.”</p><p>And it carries over to the practice field.</p><p>“You don’t have to tell him what to do when it comes to practice,” McLaurin said. “If he doesn’t like a rep, he’s like, ‘Terry, let’s run it back.’ He treats every practice and every rep like it’s a game situation.”</p><h2><b>Commanders WR Terry McLaurin praises rookie QB’s mental makeup</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Washington-Commanders-WR-Terry-McLaurin.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>McLaurin shared what he saw as Daniels’ passion for the game.</p><p>“I think the kid loves ball, and he has a good feel for the game,” McLaurin said.</p><p>Also, McLaurin said he likes Daniels as a quarterback with the right attitude to succeed in the NFL.</p><p>“I think a big part of it comes from the makeup of the quarterback,” McLaurin said. “He started at Arizona State, and goes to LSU and wins the Heisman. He’s used to winning, and what it takes to be a successful player.”</p><p>McLaurin’s career numbers are impressive when considering his quarterbacks. He’s reached the 1,000-yard mark for four straight seasons with 77 or more receptions. The other players who have matched those numbers are superstars Davante Adams (Raiders), Tyreek Hill (Dolphins) and Stefon Diggs (Bills).</p><p>One statistical area that has suffered because of Washington’s offensive inconsistency is touchdowns. McLaurin has only four, five, five and four after a seven-touchdown season as a rookie.</p><p>But he keeps his head down and works.</p><p>“It’s kind of a no-excuse mentality,” McLaurin said. “All of those things are factors and pieces to the puzzle, but I never hang my hat on it and use that as an excuse.”</p><h2><b>Commanders fans are hungry for playoff-worthy team</b></h2><p>Commanders fans are hopeful Daniels will end the need for excuses.</p><p>Commanders fans aren’t starving for a Super Bowl, their main hunger is for a team that looks the part of a playoff contender. It’s a horror story of mediocrity, carried on through the Daniel Snyder era.</p><p>Over the last 25 years, Washington has compiled an unsightly record of 168-233-2. And it hasn’t been up and down. The Commanders haven’t won more than 10 games in that stretch, and 10 times they won either seven or eight games. Those latter totals are the perfect mediocre performance that misses the playoffs while also securing a ho-hum first-round draft pick.</p><p>The fact that McLaurin and Daniels are forming a professional connection right off the bat has to be music to the ears of Commanders’ fans.</p><p>“I think you’re going to see a great Commanders’ team this year,” McLaurin said.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Holding the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl-rumors-commanders-leaning-towards-drafting-jayden-daniels-over-drake-maye-adam-schefter">Commanders are in prime position</a> to find the perfect fit.</p><p>Whoever Washington ends up selecting will have Terry McLaurin as their top wide receiver. While McLaurin plays a major role in the Commanders’ offense, he <a href="https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/terry-mclaurin-wants-to-help-a-rookie-develop-well-go-as-far-as-the-quarterback-goes">understands that whoever</a> is under center will change the dynamic of what Washington tries to do with the ball, via Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk.</p><p>“We’ll get one of them elite guys, so I’m just looking forward to whoever they bring in, helping bring them along,” McLaurin said. “Going into my sixth year I know the lay of the land, and anything I can do to help them become acclimated and part of the team, I’m going to do that.”</p><p>“My job when they get here is to help bring them along as well as I can, because we’ll go as far as the quarterback goes,” McLaurin continued.</p><p>McLaurin did everything he could to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/commanders-news-terry-mclaurin-heartbreaking-take-washington-losing-situation">help the Commanders succeed</a> in 2023. Starting all 17 games for the third year in a row, McLaurin caught 79 passes for 1,002 yards and four touchdowns. It continued his impressive run since joining Washington in 2019. Over 80 games total, McLaurin has caught 378 passes for 5,283 yards and 25 touchdowns.</p><p>However, McLaurin could only do so much at receiver. The Commanders were firmly held back by their quarterback play in 2023. Sam Howell – who has since been traded to the Seattle Seahawks – threw for 3,946 yards, 21 touchdowns and 21 interceptions.</p><p>While the Commanders could use help around their roster, it’s clear that quarterback is their biggest need. Terry McLaurin is now just waiting to see how Washington will end up with under center.</p><h2><b>Commanders options at quarterback</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Commanders-Terry-McLaurin.jpg"><figcaption>Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>With Caleb Williams widely expected to go No. 1 to the Chicago Bears, the Commanders will have their pick of the remaining elite QB prospects. North Carolina’s Drake Maye and LSU’s Jayden Daniels have been the two quarterbacks most consistently projected to go at the top of the draft.</p><p>Maye is coming off of a down year, having thrown for 3,608 yards, 24 touchdowns and nine interceptions in his final year with the Tar Heels. However, he was electric during the 2022 campaign, earning ACC Offensive Player of the Year honors by throwing for 4,321 yards, 38 touchdowns and seven interceptions.</p><p>Daniels had the reverse trajectory, scorching his way onto the draft boards after winning the Heisman Trophy in 2023. In his final year at LSU, Daniels threw for 3,812 yards, 40 touchdowns and four interceptions. He added 1,134 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground.</p><p>Both Maye and Daniels offer two complete different skill sets. Washington is assuredly examining both and deciphering which one will fit best in their offense. In the days leading up to the draft, it will be the most difficult decision the Commanders need to figure out.</p><p>But once they make their choice, Terry McLaurin is ready and willing to welcome them to Washington and begin the new era of Commanders football.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
