Jayden Daniels - Commanders QB Thread

Love what we're hearing so far about the kid and his work ethic, but all that matters is how he plays on the field. For now it's just talk and good sound bites.

Commanders' Jayden Daniels: 'I ain't a star quarterback yet'

...But from the time Daniels arrived in Washington, he has preached the same message: He just wants to do his job and is not elevating himself to any status other than rookie. He said he's working on "everything." He arrives to the facility daily around 5:45 a.m., watches film and does walk-throughs in the practice bubble with rookie receiver Luke McCaffrey. Daniels has picked the brain of veterans such as linebacker Bobby Wagner.

Not to beat a literal dead horse, but everything we're hearing about Daniels is exactly what we need to be hearing about Daniels.

If the only press we were getting on Daniels involved him setting up his marketing brand before ever playing a down and charging people to attend his draft day party (https://www.si.com/nfl/2019/04/26/dwayne-haskins-redskins-first-round-draft-party-marketing-company-brand) I'd be hella concerned.

Thankfully the only stories we're getting are of the "he's doing his best sponge impression and trying to soak up every bit of knowledge he can" which is exactly what he should be doing.

Yeah true, no red flags at all so far, it’s a good sign

Everyone knows how amazing of a player he is. The work ethic, humility, and team centric attitude is what I love seeing right now. Really stands out for a player fresh out of college who just won the Heisman.

what I want from my QB:
don't get hurt/win games

so far it sounds like he's putting himself in a good position. None of it matters if he gets hurt or can't win games though. After 24 years of mostly garbage, it'd be nice to have a real answer at QB for the long term. Why not us?

Lasting 2 years in the SEC with minimal injuries at qb is impressive. His upside is way too high to not have drafted him. @ Tampa will be interesting to see how he plays and how his style translates to NFL.

As big of a Redskins fan that I am I am just as big a Celtics fan, and to see Tatum win it last night and I can still remember his draft not, I couldn't help but think I hope JD5 is this teams Tatum.
