Jayden Daniels … 1) Has made it through 2 games without exiting for injury for the second time since the start of 2025. The brace is working and his elbow has withstood heavy contact. 2) Is playing really well. Picked SF’s defense apart in the second half last night and was able to nearly win a game without his feet at all. He’s been exceptional over his last 10 quarters. 3) Has made one boneheaded play in each of last two games. Final play vs NYG and 4th down throwaway in first half last night. 4) Gives them a chance almost every time he plays and against nearly any opponent. Keeps them in games. 5) Has not started in a Commanders win in 380 days (8 games). This isn’t corollary; he’s played well enough to win several times. Clearly just him being on the field and being good isn’t a failsafe. 6) Does not turn the ball over. His career INT rate is 1.5%, almost identical to Aaron Rodgers’ all-time leading 1.5% over a legendary 22-year career. 7) Probably should take more risks. The never throwing an interception thing is a gift and sometimes a curse. I think not wanting to take risks made the bad 4th down throwaway possible last night. I think it also explains some of Daniels’ struggles vs man coverage (smaller windows). 8) Is a healthy 11-game finish away from a second contract. No reason to wait out further evaluate him. Pay him as soon as you can IF he can prove durable the rest of the way in 2026.
