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>

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>

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.

Even star wide receiver Terry McLaurin was <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/commanders-news-lose-brian-robinson-jr-to-hamstring-injury-amid-dolphins-blowout" rel="noopener">left out of the Commanders</a> box score.</p><p>Washington fell 45-15, dropping to 4-9 on the season. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/commanders-news-terry-mclaurin-cant-believe-brutal-45-10-loss-cowboys" rel="noopener">McLaurin was held without</a> a catch. But while he didn’t get his hands on the ball, McLaurin <a href="https://twitter.com/JPFinlayNBCS/status/1731422260630577613" rel="noopener">still stayed busy</a> against the Dolphins, via JP Finlay of NBC Sports.</p><p>“I ran a lot of cardio today,” McLaurin said.</p><p>While he was able to make light of the situation, Washington not even getting McLaurin involved proves the offense’s inefficacies in Week 13. Curtis Samuel ended up leading the team in receiving with four catches for 65 yards. However, one of his receptions went for 33 yards.</p><p>The same could be said for running back Antonio Gibson. While he was second on the team in receiving yards with 37, 32 of those yards came on one catch. Samuel and Gibson were the only receivers with 30+ yards as quarter Sam Howell completed just 12-of-23 passes for 127 yards and an interception.</p><p>Terry McLaurin is at the center of Washington’s pass game. Heading into Week 13, he led the team with 60 receptions and 694 yards. The Commanders pass offense as a whole wasn’t too shabby either, ranking eighth in the NFL by averaging 247 yards per game.</p><p>Still, something went very wrong for Terry McLaurin and company against the Dolphins. At 4-9, Washington doesn’t have much hopes for the postseason. Ahead of an offseason that could see multiple changes, one of the Commanders’ biggest goals should be ensuring McLaurin doesn’t go catchless again.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

I have to chase him, whether he goes inside, outside, vertical.’ That puts it at my advantage because it forces him to maybe even play a little bit more soft. He can’t be aggressive. If I miss, he’s going to run away.”</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/commanders-news-ron-rivera-giants-lightly-mounting-injuries" rel="noopener">Commanders</a> sit at 3-3 on the season heading into a game against the New York Giants, and McLaurin has been a key target for quarterback Sam Howell, who is in his first season as the full-time starter for the team.

But while Sam Howell and the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/commanders-news-washington-gets-pair-of-great-injury-update-for-matchup-with-bills" rel="noopener">Commanders didn’t play their best</a>, Terry McLaurin still has his quarterback’s back.</p><p>Washington fell to Buffalo by a brutal 37-3 score. Howell had his worst game as a professional, throwing for just 170 yards and a brutal four interceptions. Still, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/commanders-news-terry-mclaurin-sam-howell-deep-ball" rel="noopener">McLaurin thinks Howell</a> is the right guy for the job <a href="https://twitter.com/RalphVacchiano/status/1706042054030033322" rel="noopener">and the rightful</a> Commanders’ QB1, via Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports.</p><p>“I just let him know that we’ve still got his back. He’s still growing at the quarterback position, being our QB1. At the same time, he holds himself to a high standard and we hold him to a high standard. I know he is going to look at himself in the mirror and see how he can get better.”</p><p>“It was a tough day for all of us, not just him,” McLaurin continued. “You’re going to have tough days at the office. Some uglier than others. But that’s what makes this grind so much sweeter. When you correct the thing you did wrong and next week you’re able to show improvement.”</p><p>Sam Howell threw an interception both in his NFL debut in Week 18 last season and in Week 1 of this season. However, he was interception free in Week 2. Suddenly, in Week 3, Howell saw his clean streak come to an abrupt end with a new NFL career-high in picks.</p><p>Still, Terry McLaurin believes in his quarterback. While it was one bad week, it doesn’t mean Howell is a bad QB. As they enter Week 4, Howell, McLaurin and everyone on the Commanders will be looking for a bounce-back performance.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While they became the team that finally ended the Baltimore <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/ravens-news-end-of-baltimores-preseason-dynasty-in-loss-to-commanders-has-fans-going-bonkers" rel="noopener">Ravens’ preseason dynasty</a> with a thrilling 29-28 victory at home, that victory also seemingly came at the expense of star wide receiver Terry McLaurin’s toe.</p><p>McLaurin exited the Ravens game in the second quarter and did not return <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/commanders-news-wr-terry-mclaurin-heads-to-locker-room-after-apparent-injury-during-preseason-game-vs-ravens" rel="noopener">due to a toe injury</a> he suffered while trying to make a catch. He was seen limping before he made his way to the locker room. That being said, it appears that McLaurin <a href="https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1693973680953417953" rel="noopener">escaped a serious injury</a>, per Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.</p><p><i>“Commanders WR Terry McLaurin is believed to be dealing with a toe sprain based on the initial diagnosis, sources say. The injury from last night’s game — also known as turf toe — is not thought to be overly serious, but he’ll have an MRI today to determine the full extent.”</i></p><p>McLaurin had 39 receiving yards on three catches and three targets against the Ravens. The Commanders were still able to make things happen on offense despite missing McLaurin for the remainder of the contest, with quarterback Jake Fromm leading the charge in the second half. Jahan Dotson paced Washington downfield with 76 receiving yards on five receptions and seven targets.</p><p>The Commanders will play the Cincinnati Bengals at home in Week 3 of the NFL preseason but even if McLaurin is healthy enough to play for that game, Washington will likely take the safer route and sit him until the regular season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
