Re: Jayden Daniels - Commanders QB Thread

I have now watched this game 4 times, 5 if you included watching the 2nd half again the night of the game.

What I see is what I've wanted to see since Theisman broke his leg. This league is all about the QB and as I watched my team try to force Jason Campbell, Alex Smith or Dwayne Haskins on me I knew we needed better to be contenders.

Well now we have that QB. Of course we can't call Caleb a bust after 3 games, but how many QBs who started out great turned into busts? No they mostly all turned out good or great.

Originally I preferred Maye, I like pocket passers who can run. But as I watched his tape nothing jumped out as special to me. Then I watched Jayden and it was obvious that he was special on the first play. I kept hearing how Maye had a stronger arm, but Jayden's release was lightening quick, it was obvious from the tape, and the ball got on the receiver far quicker than Maye's throws.

Yes posters (not here) argued that Maye was really mobile, posting videos of long runs in the open field. I argued that he didn't have the same burst and we saw that on Monday night. I am convinced Maye takes at least 2 sacks from defenders coming in unblocked, Jayden's acceleration allowed him to escape those defender and he then made a play.
