Rich Eisen on Jayden Daniels’ “Franchise-Altering” Commanders Rookie Season | The Rich Eisen Show

[@byroncarden152]

As a 50+ year NFL fan, I can say that Daniels is a joy to watch. May he be blessed with good health and a good career.

[@sjaxs30]

As a commanders fan and 40 yrs old I appreciate this comment

[@lucky-three]

50 year fan here as well and I find that disturbing. He's 200 lb soaking wet. He's so skinny and so fast the defense can't catch him. He runs out of bounds or slides he's so fast they can't wrap him up. No one is allowed to land on top of him behind the line of scrimmage. He's not built to last in the NFL but he's thriving because of quarterback protection rules. Welcome to woke football. The future is watching skinny kids who weigh half of what linebackers do running all over the field being protected by the rule book. If women could run faster they could play quarterback. Good stuff huh. He's come out of two games this year because of hard hits. Without protection rules he would never last

[@conant83]

Thank you for your good blessing towards our Quarterback HTTR

[@evanbell7825]

@@lucky-three Yet anthony richardson who's 6'4 250 pure muscle is injury prone?

[@lucky-three]

@evanbell7825 anthony isnt half the size of the defense. Jayden can outrun the whole team rested. After every play, they get slower. Anthony can be jacked up when he crosses the line of scrimmage. You cant catch jayden. Hes an anomaly the nfl never saw coming. He's too skinny to survive and he's too skinny to catch. He surviving because of quarterback protection rules behind the line of scrimmage. If the defense were allowed to tackle and land on top of him in the backfield, his career would be over. Every team now is going to go get themselves a 200 lb mongoose to outrun the defense. And if any of them ever take one hard shot they'll be out for the season. Woke football

[@nelsonrivera9635]

If Jayden doesn’t have that rib injury, he breaks 1k rushing

[@MissingMyPeeps]

I appreciate knowing he bounced back from the injury. I believe it gave a more of a sense of awareness as well as heightened his takeover mentality when the team needs him to.

[@josephalexander8614]

Crazy that he got hurt on like a 40 yard run

[@billwill1584]

Agreed

Cuz he would’ve went off on Carolina lol

How many 1st and 20's? Incredible!!

[@jeromehurley295]

Great QBs are erasers. LFG!

He probably should be MVP. 5 TDs with under 30 secs in 4th Q and OT. 4 comeback GW drives.

[@jonthorpe2824]

Can't teach the clutch gene. Yeah baby, keep him healthy.

[@theantandthebull]

He’s been erasing bad penalties by the offense, defense that can’t stop the run, kickers who miss FGs and extra points and drops all year

[@joe-edward]

Notwithstanding Jayden Daniels' clear Offensive Rookie of the Year performance this year, and it has been amazing, I think you have to put Dan Quinn in the Coach of the Year race also.

[@jaymac7349]

💯% AGREED

[@christophergrabon1294]

I concur. There are a few contenders for the Coach of Year but no other team was predicted to finish with 4 wins that possibly will win 12 instead.

I don't think Daniel's will regress. His IQ and maturity is next level. AP is next level and trust he knows exactly what the team needs to improve!!!!

[@rajivgomer3527]

Everyone regresses. It’s the nature of defensive coordinators having a season of film and a whole off season. His game will change to adjust to that.

[@kayhuncho1015]

@@rajivgomer3527some players just don’t get adjusted to

[@jerryczzowitz3384]

Plus, he will go from one of the easiest schedules [ last place schedule this year vs 2nd place schedule next year ]. But on the flip side, Washington has a ton of cap money to improve the OL and add a WR or 2 to help take the pressure off of Daniels having to do everything.

[@jeffszablak7387]

[@robmiller2221]

Jayden Daniels has been so much fun to watch! He’s gonna be a problem for that division in the years to come Book it

[@MultiverseJoe]

Rich the Commanders have had only one over time game this season. JD is indeed a fun watch. As a Redskins fan since 1964, Sonny Jurgensen’s 😊first season in Washington. I was blessed to have season tickets from 1971 to 2003. JD is a happy addition to the team roster. In my old age I’m blessed to be watching him have such a great rookie season. RG3 was a brief brilliant comet that couldn’t slide. JD is better at it. He’s a humble man with manners to be inveighed. A man blessed by God, who loves Jesus. He’s pops must be happy & proud. This off season is the right time to bring back The Redskins.

[@seawolf4660]

HTTR!

[@sanfordjay1]

Three of Jayden’s TD passes were the game winning last play in three of those games. Love the reference to my man Stuart Scott. Miss him…

[@rickwatts6969]

That was Jayden's Pink Panther play! Smooth how he stepped out of bounds😎

[@joekaf]

Not that he needs it, but just imagine Daniels' legend if they don't miss that PAT (or better, go for 2) after that 84 yard pass to McLaurin against the Cowboys. He'd already have a statue.

[@tyharris14]

They lost that game via 2 missed extra points, and they lost to the Steelers by 1 too, legitimately could be a 13 win team. The kid is super legit

[@toof987]

if anyone is to get a statue first, it will be gibbs. he brought championships with 3 non hall of fame quarterbacks. then we can talk about the others.

[@dmvbay2535]

Jayden Daniels has had more "a rookie has never done this" moments this year than any rookie player i have ever watched. The Brock Bowers argument is so laughable.

How is MVP judged? Great season, break a couple records, lead in a couple categories? How about the impact the player has on his team? Daniels is by far the most impactful player in the NFL this year. He took a team that wasn't even mediocre. They were flat out bad. Now look at them, a legitimate contender. Certainly is the most valuable player on his team and a concern to his opponents.

[@michaelrivenbark1010]

Everyone was saying at the beginning of the year this would be a rebuild year and might get 7 or 8 wins. We are 11-5 and clinched playoffs with what I think is a really good chance of being in the Superbowl at this point of the year. I am a Tennessee Vols fan but for the NFL I am a Washington fan. I knew he was good and i was glad to see we got him in the draft. But I didn't expect this year to be this good. Imagine where we might be in the future probably be one of the best teams in the NFL if get to keep him around. We finally have the qb been searching for.

7:48 Caleb Williams said that, Daniels just showed up with others. He humble like that.

[@marvinshenk]

My only doubt about Daniels was his slender frame. I thought he'd get injured. He's taken many scary hits, and he keeps coming up smiling. I'm actually proud of this kid. If the Commanders can reel back the penalties and get Austin Ekeler back, they can go far in the playoffs. If they have to come to LA to play the Rams, that game will be fire. Jayden is without a doubt rookie of the year, and if he only had more TD's, he'd be in the MVP race as well.

[@dmvbay2535]

His rib injury slowed him down from more TDs and not getting close enough for 1000 yards rushing

I said back in April this kid should have been the first pick in the draft.
