Jayden Daniels - Caution!
When is he not injured? lolTomel wrote: Wed Jan 01, 2025 4:09 pm One poster mentioned BRobinson. His last two outings have not been representative of his performance based on my observations. Why? Is he injured? Has something occurred that's making him more tentative in hitting the holes quickly?
When he is healthy, he's been good for us! No doubt. He's a good teammate and seems to fit the mold of what we're trying to build. But, for me, it's like....yeah he's good, but we can do better. Have him #2. Keep him fresh and healthy for ground-it-out time.
As far as JD, my heart was beating so hard when he was bent awkwardly on Sunday. But, it really hasn't been a concern for me. He's 100X smarter than...the previous. And as stated, you got to let him do what he does.

His mobility is a cheat code and is gamebreaking when coupled with his already advanced passing. He can't just not run. I do agree the end of the Falcon game was a bit much, but it was a desperation situation and going all out to win and clinch the playoff spot, so I'm okay with it.
Mobile QBs are actually more often MORE safe when running because they can get out of bounds or run away from defenders and slide. The most vicious hits he's taken this year have been in the pocket(that nasty looking hit last week, and the hit in the first Giant game). The rib injury tackle against Carolina was kinda just fluky with a DB chasing him from behind and pulling him awkwardly.

Muriel Bowser on her meeting with Trump: "I'm not gonna talk about any specifics about [the] RFK [stadium site]," Bowser said. "It came up, like, on a very high level in conversation ... He was well-aware of Jayden Daniels and why he should be the rookie of the year and possibly the MVP."

May not like him, but he ain’t”t wrong!

I think we all have collective PTSD from 2012. I know I spent all night Sunday screaming at my TV for the announcer to stop comparing JD5 to RG3, especially after that one scary looking hit. But I think, as fragile as Daniels can look due to his slim frame, he's a much smarter runner than Griffin was. JD5 knows how to slide/dive, which saves him some hits. He's shown a willingness to run out of bounds rather than take a brutal hit to gain an extra yard or 2 when it's not necessary. He's much deadlier as a passer already than Griffin ever way, which has to keep defenses even more honest with him. Yeah, I still hold my breath every time he takes off or looks like he's about to be hit, but my heart doesn't sink the same way it did in 2012.

But I do have a hypothetical question - win our playoff games and somehow sneak into the super bowl this year, but JD suffers an injury that significantly limits his playmaking abilities going forward. OR, JD is a little more cautious, we get eliminated in the playoffs, but we have a QB who can make us regular contenders. For me, I'll take Option #2. I do agree he's been sliding and getting out of bounds more. That's using his unique talents in a way that helps the team both short- and long-term. We do need to see the support around JD improve so we don't have depend on him to do everything -- and I have the impression that our new Commanders leadership will make the right roster moves going forward.
