Wow. Best stat of all is he has us at 4-1. He has protected the ball pretty well overall especially for a rookie. Outstanding start to his pro career.

I don't think the comparison is with RG3, except only that he was a Washington forerunner. A better comparison is maybe with Jackson. JD is an equivalent runner, but I think a much better passer (well, to date he is). Be interesting to see how they compare head to head Sunday.

Jayden Daniels = Faster/Right-Handed Steve Young

I don't relate JD5 to RG3 much at all. Two totally different players and personalities and situations. Hope it continues and JD5 will be so far separated from that clown that we won't even have to think about it.

I will never understand the knock that he lacks arm strength. His quick release overcomes any of that concern as the ball still arrives at the same time or quicker and he throws a very catchable ball.

This post is the first I've ever seen of a claim or more specifically referring to a claim that he lacks arm strength. Where did you hear or read that?? Did whoever make that claim say that Tyreek Hill was too slow to be a pro?

His arm strength is fine for the NFL. He just doesn't have a cannon. He's still already a great qb in this league, and his release is amazingly quick as you say. One of the quickest I've seen for any qb.

Yes he is. We're super lucky to have him. Seems like he may miss a pass or 2 a game but overall is nearly perfect. Great combination of talent and preparation. Romo was effusive in praise for him yesterday especially with his eye movement to work the passing game better.

Some of the throws this dude makes every week are insane. He's as accurate of a passer as we've ever had in DC

I’m amazed at the processing speed - uncanny for a rookie. He can and does rely on athleticism for some of his plays for sure, but he’s playing smart too. Kudos to K2 for getting him this far along so quickly. Lots of natural ability for sure, but it’s also clear he’s well coached.

What a difference a year makes.

It's not even an over-exaggeration, there isn't 1 player in the NFL I'd trade Jayden for.

Based on how good he is already, the fact he's still going to get way better, his contract, where our overall roster is. Jayden Daniels was the hero we needed (and deserved).

Josh Harris is the hero we needed and everything he's done to date has led us here. He's looks like the kind of guy that makes everyone around him better, and/or he's a fantastic talent evaluator. He brought in Peters and Peters has given us Quinn & co. and JD5. JD5 is the new face of the franchise, but Harris is the real hero.

Per John Keim

Dan Quinn said Jayden Daniels is week to week; he said they're "hopeful" he can play Sunday but will be smart about his return.
