Jayden Daniels - Commanders QB Thread

[MTK]

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'

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/...uarterback-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 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

Humility and a lack of selfishness. This and the work ethic are highly impressive for a rookie. 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?

Yes totally agree. He has been durable in college. 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.

A First Look at the Jayden Daniels Era in Washington

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.

Tatum played great along with Brown. Congrats to the Celtics! Dominated this series.

Surprised it took this long honestly. Excited for the JD era to begin!

[Chief X_Phackter]

They have handled this perfectly in my opinion. No surprise, but also no rush. Glad that is put to bed though. This team is coming together so well in my opinion. I don't know if it will translate to wins in the short term, but you have to be pleased with the direction it's going.

After halftime, def saw a light come on for JD. More patience in the pocket, looked to push the ball downfield, running was more deliberate and less chaotic.

Both of the defenses JD has faced have brought a lot of pressure…the key thing for breaking the defense is to stand tall and deliver throws to burn them. The first instinct can’t be to run, but to get the ball out quickly for big play

[skinsfaninok]

He is on his way to becoming the Rookie of the yr after 2 weeks. He's been damn good and the most impactful rookie QB by far.
