Washington takes Daniels.

May have finally found a franchise QB. Kinda like him more than Williams

Well, it looks like Daniels doesn't really know how to slide, and got his helmet knocked off twice in his first game, so I'm not feeling great about his chances for longevity.

From the little I saw of the game it felt like watching Haskins under center.

 

Daniels may be good but I have little faith that organization can develop a star QB.

His helmet, simply put, didn’t fit properly. Winfield got sloppy and made a helmet to helmet hit, but it wasn’t a decleater. The other one was silly. He was being stopped by a wall of tacklers and it was like his helmet was still a body in motion.

I take it back. You guys finally have a QB.

Note that I beat NMS by months

Set the rookie record for completion percentage in a game. I bet you had that on your bingo card too. LOL

No turnovers yet. That’s the biggest sign for me.

According to ESPN, yesterday's Cincy-Washington game was the first since 1940 with no turnovers and no punts.

Excluding kneel-downs, the Commanders have scored on 14 straight possessions.

 

I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but then I read stuff like this:

 

 

In the locker room after the game, players gushed about Daniels’s composure and guts and accuracy. They relived the plays and talked about how a game like that could transform a team. In one corner, Cosmi and right tackle Andrew Wylie walked through the chaos of the last play together.

 

“The guys were all confused. He put them in the right formation — ” Cosmi said.

 

“ — and snapped it with one second left and delivered a f------ corner pylon toss,” Wylie continued. “I mean, it was f------ nuts.”

 

[NewMarketSean]

I noticed that confusion too, and Daniels was the leader in that situation and got them in position to snap the ball in time. All of this in his 3rd NFL game. The kid was brilliant last night. I am sure he'll have some rookie ups and downs but he showed me a lot last night. I think the biggest takeaway was the field vision and arm strength.

 

And apologies to the brilliant people who knew this months ago. I don't watch college football.

You mean, we can haz nice things??? Don't toy with our emotions.

[Nigel Tufnel]

Uh oh, I think Daniels might be hurt.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Uh oh, I think Daniels might be hurt.

Saw the helmet slam, missed everything else. Hope it’s nothing serious.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Headed to the locker room for an xray on his ribs. Frick.

Still don't know how bad anything is, but I do know there was NO reason to try to put him back in yesterday when they were already up so big when it happened. Guessing we will hear more at some point today.

[You Play to Win the Game]

Better ribs than limbs. Feels like something they can address with an adjustment to the equipment. But you never want to hear “further testing on Monday”. He will be missing some time, I think. But doesn’t seem to be catastrophic in any way.

[Nigel Tufnel]

It worries me that he weighs like 110 pounds and doesn't seem to know how to slide or even fall.
