Agree with Ben and ditto Finlay making a similar point. I don't love the work Peters has done, don't hate it either. But hated the approach of putting the team on Jayden's back -- its not the way to develop a young QB.
A year ago,
the Commanders’ limitations at receiver were shockingly obvious. Beyond McLaurin’s holdout, the injury-prone Noah Brown was already injured. Recent draft selections Luke McCaffrey and Jaylin Lane remained largely projections. Older veterans on the roster and practice squad offered experience
but little reason to believe they could consistently boost the offense.
The room looked thin then, and it proved to be just that.
The appeal isn't simply what the Montgomery County, Md., native, Good Counsel High School alum and former University of Maryland standout adds. It's also what he prevents.
When paired with McLaurin, Diggs provides Daniels with another proven target capable of punishing defenses that focus extra attention on Washington’s No. 1 receiver.
If McLaurin misses time again, the Commanders now have someone who can approximate the responsibilities of a top option rather than forcing an entire committee into roles they may not be suited for.
Should Father Time finally decide to wrestle Diggs into submission, Washington can pivot to its other viable options.
Whatever the exact sequence of events that led to the decisions made —
and not made — this offseason shows a front office trying to solve problems before they become season-defining ones.
That’s what good organizations do.
And perhaps the clearest sign that Adam Peters is growing into the role isn’t simply the players he’s acquiring. It’s the problems he’s becoming unwilling to leave unsolved.
