Jayden Daniels - Commanders QB Thread

[sdskinsfan2001]

Kind of just sinking in, we have legitimate chance of having a franchise QB. That's awesome.

I know a lot of people were saying Lamar Jackson 2.0, I don't see that but what I do see if a faster version of Texans Deshaun Watson or Randall Cunningham

I like the Deshaun Watson comparison. That's a good one, especially coming out of college. It will be very fun to see what his comparisons look like after a couple seasons in the NFL.

I think he's going to be way better than Watson without all the off the field bs. His ability to read defenses is bigtime along with his accuracy and deep ball. He is lethally fast also, even moreso than Watson. Daniels literally is instant offense.

My only concern is he needs to learn how to slide. We know he's gonna run but the best ability is availability.

One RG3 style ACL tear and all that hype will evaporate in about 10 seconds.

Yes he does need to learn how to slide. He runs like a fast wr in the open field. Elusive, shifty, fast, and with super vision. He just needs to be smart and protect himself. Very interested to see what type of offense KK unleashes for him overall.

True, he is a better slider than RG3 already, and Daniels is a much better open field runner than RG3 was with ability to be elusive

RG3 was a track star at heart he was condition to to run as fast as possible following a pre determine path ( track)

his mind always went i will beat you with speed first not maybe i can be elusive in this situation

imho, after his injury in the Bmore game they should have shelved him for the season and if DS had stayed out of it and Mike S and Kyle S were able to have full control over his development I think RG3 would have been Lamar good

The Lamar comp is kind of just lazy.. He's fast and can score from anywhere but hes also a better passer than Lamar. I like the Watson and RC Comps better

It’s not the best comp since JD is far more developed as a passer than LJ was coming out, but in terms of explosive playmaking ability as a runner I think it fits.

Jackson ran a confirmed 4.34 at his pro day. Daniels is more 4.5 range although very fast. His vision, shiftiness, and cuts are elite. Think this will help protect himself. Imagine he gets a few rushing tds minimum this year.

I think hes definitely faster than 4.5 guy. he himself said he would have beat or has beat both Brian Thomas and Malik Nabers in a race and they both ran 4.3 range, do i think hes that fast? No idea but I never saw him get chased down and that 85 yard run vs Florida was pretty fast

I agree with this. On several of his highlights he ran away from a lot of guys.

Hope so. Difference between 4.3 and 4.5 is huge. His speed and running prowess is amazing. Agree with the notion RG3 was more of a straight line runner, whereas Daniels is more shifty and elusive. Kid really is the complete package. FedEx is going to go nuts first time he runs for a long td.
