[@PeterTeehan]

JD5 is not LAMAR, JD5 is not STROUD, JD5 is not RGIII. The faster you all come to that conclusion the better off everyone will be. He is HIM. Weve never seen anything like what this kid is doing. hes shattering records on a weekly basis his team believes in him on all facets. The fan base is in awe right now. i understand the narritive to compare JD5 to someone - there is no one.

[@colorblindboxing7207]

He’s Jayden Daniel’s. These guys always do this crap with rookies.

[@venskus2009]

YESSSSS

[@dbass9767]

Well said

[@DoLessMyGuy]

Comparing him to Stroud, RG3 and Watson is because he’s only a rookie and he’s already one of the best qb’s in the league. Also when did he get compared to any of those other guys in this video?

[@Angel-t9m9v]

@@DoLessMyGuyeven if it wasn’t said on video but there’s a lot of people comparing JD to them QBs.

I dnt care about MVP lets stay healthy and keeping on rolling. HTTR!!!

[@quebec627]

Well said that's all I hope for every week

[@marty5300]

Daniels' football IQ is off the charts high. It's only his first month in the league and he's so smart with the ball. He's calm in the pocket and can feel the rush and bails when he has to, but he's fearless and smart enough to step UP into the pocket instead of constantly trying to outrun guys to the outside. He can do that as well but that's when you get in trouble when it's your go to every time. He's not afraid to move up in the pocket and either throw it or run.

[@Niacin1]

hey florio, we remember everything you said about jayden daniels "not wanting to to come to washington" and dan quinn being the "second choice"

Uhm excuse me ☝🏻 We didnt get beaten so bad week 1, we were in the game until the middle of the 3rd quarter and the kicker missed 2 crucial field goals, it was JDs first game, getting adjusted getting confidence.

[@MountainsArePretty1234]

Yep, 17 point loss is barely more than a 2 possession game. Plus it could easily have been just an 11 point loss, if we had Seibert then. Instead of York's sorry rear end.

Him and his WRs could’ve made this conversation an unarguable convo. Should have at minimum 6 more passing tds.

[@rodneybrimer5171]

Daniels is amazing. The great QB’s have one key thing in common. They make the team better and when the team believes in themselves it’s contagious. His accuracy is second to none one. If he stays healthy we are easily a playoff team. In the playoffs we can be dangerous.

[@ravivaithinathan3704]

It's easy to see why they did get manhandled on Week 1. Daniels needed to get NFL experience under his belt and it was a learning experience for him and he learned fast.

Daniels is looking amazing but the teams theyve beaten are all under .500. Lets at least wait til we get to week 9 before we crown MVPs

[@CommandoFan0408]

doesn’t matter lol. every team we’ve beaten except for the browns were all favored against us. people thought we were gonna be the 29th best team this year. miss me with that. it’s def time to start mvp talks.

@CommandoFan0408 the favored thing doesn't mean much to me, vegas is often wrong. Just like they were wrong putting the Commanders at the bottom of the league at the start of the season with Danny Dimes in the division.

As a lifelong Washington fan, I can tell you that for the first two games, they were A BAD TEAM!!! Jayden was being physically battered - inside QB runs??? Really? - basic mistakes were being made and the play calling (as JD was learning) was simply bad. Period. It really did change against the Bengals.

[@sagaswp]

Remember MVP is most 'valuable' player. JD5 has literally elevated his entire team. They already have as many wins this year as they did last year. At the beginning of the year our o-line was crap and our defense was rated last. Both are playing so much better now.

[@Santigolder]

Die Hard commanders fan and this is accurate. The Ravens should be 5-0 truly and any of their losses are not by way of Lamar… their defense, like ours is not great but our defense is getting better… we’re gonna need to rely on that

[@TheDMVWreckinCrew]

How is Lamar playing better? Especially when the kid is setting multiple all time records? How when those records are mentioned do you NEVER hear Lamar's name being brought up? How when he's doing things Lamar has never done?
