"I think that's really why we were overly cautious with him. We didn't want to put him out there until he can be Jayden. That's what he's going to be. That's how he's going to play. Jayden's a unique talent. The way he plays, moves, throws, he's generational. So any time you get him back out there, it's going to lift up your team."
"Kingsbury revealed that the Commanders were overly cautious with Daniels. They didn't want him out there while he was unable to maximize the unique skill set he brings to the table. Now, everything is pointing up, and the former Arizona Cardinals head coach is eager for the No. 2 pick's presence to give everyone a massive lift when they need it most."
Jayden Daniels will return as the Washington Commanders' starting quarterback this weekend against the Los Angeles Chargers in his California homecoming. The Commanders and offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury expect Daniels to play without fundamental limitations and to restore his mobility-based threat after prior caution. Kingsbury said the team had been overly cautious to avoid putting Daniels out before he could be fully himself. The New York Giants offered a blueprint for how a mobile quarterback can hurt the Chargers, reinforcing the Commanders' reliance on Daniels' dynamic skill set. The coaching staff has prioritized his recovery to prevent re-injury while seeking a crucial win.
