"Jayden Daniels is the man for the big moment. He's the franchise quarterback needed to kickstart the Washington Commanders' ambitious project. And one analyst believes the No. 2 overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft is just getting started. Daniels wasn't at his elite-level best against the New York Giants, but he didn't need to be. The Commanders' defense kept them in check, which allowed the signal-caller to manage the game effectively, protect the football, and make critical plays when they were required."
"There is a massive weight of expectation on [Jayden] Daniels after his sensational rookie campaign, but there's no reason to expect regression. He has a huge arm, he's smart beyond his years, and he's incredibly evasive when he decides to abandon the pocket and leg out a run. Daniels' dual-threat dynamism and savant-like processing will keep him near the top of this list all season."
"Doing the same on Thursday Night Football in Week 2 is a different test entirely. Daniels shouldn't fear anybody. At the same time, he'll know that the Green Bay Packers represent a much sterner test with the pass-rushing weapons at their disposal. Christopher Kline from FanSided thought Daniels would keep complications to a minimum after placing the LSU product at No. 5 in his weekly quarterback rankings."
Jayden Daniels managed the game against the New York Giants while the Washington defense limited opponent opportunities, allowing him to protect the football and make decisive plays. The lighter burden contrasted with a demanding rookie season that required heavy workload and rapid growth. Week 2 on Thursday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers presents a tougher test because of their pass-rushing weapons. Analyst Christopher Kline ranked Daniels among the top quarterbacks, citing arm strength, advanced processing, decisiveness, and evasiveness. General manager Adam Peters improved the supporting cast to help Daniels sustain high-level performance.
