for the record the rookie of the week is just a fan vote, i take it with a grain of salt but still good job jd5

"Just a fan vote"?

I'll take it. It means fans from across the league recognize how great this young man is. We're lucky to have him.

The Kid is already a top 5 QB

My wife: “He’s always so calm back there / he seems like he really knows what’s going on and never gets rattled. Is that normal?”

Me: “For a rookie on his 9th game? Not even close to normal. I think he’s from another planet.”

Biggest surprise…he doesn’t turn the ball over. It’s usually the thing rookies struggle with the most…the speed of the game leads to turnovers.

Not hereTotally agree. It is huge attribute for sure as turnovers are the determinant of victor in so many games. He makes great decisions and protects the ball. All of his film study clearly pays off. He's been great.

Yesterday, at a watering hole near my home whilst watching our game versus the G-men, some arrogant prick (I know that may sound redundant, lol) claimed (paraphrased), "Daniels can't read defenses and Washington's college OC (WTF does that even means?!), Kliff Kingsbury, is running a college offense because Daniels is only a one-read QB." He was adamant about his poor stance. He went on and on about other stuff--mostly irrelevant--for a decent portion of the game.

I told him "Just because you talk a lot doesn't mean you know a lot."

This is insane

@john_keim

According to Elias Sports: Washington's three turnovers are the fewest by a team in the first 9 games of a season since 1933 (first year turnovers were tracked).

Keim covered JD's mindset about not causing turnovers in his podcast last night - he said that on one play in red zone, Dyami Brown was open in the corner of end zone but JD didn't throw and instead he threw it out of bounds and then we kicked a FG to make it 2 score ahead. Keim also mentioned that JD tends to make smart decisions, whether to take the risk or not. Seems like JD is hyper aware of potential risks and acts accordingly, which is pretty amazing for a rookie.
