Why does daniels get sm hate. Because he on our team? Yall gotta stop

[@qthomm2923]

Where you born yesterday? He’s a black mobile Quarterback they do this with all them

[@aaronconnelevy2541]

Bc he’s a QB that can run Ex: Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Russell Wilson, Justin Fields etc. Anytime a QB is both a rushing and passing threat they get hate. Idk why but that’s always the case

[@aem870]

I think Mina Kimes might not know how to judge players. She described Jayden Daniels who has 40 passing TD's and only 4 interceptions as a running QB, not a good playmaker. She described a QB with 24 touchdowns and 9 interceptions as a better playmaker. Sounds like she's there for diversity.

[@vennoballin2230]

Yall team sucks that’s why

[@jump6098]

They won’t believe until we make em believe.

[@juliusjean-baptiste924]

Bo Nix is starting week 1 for sure

[@who.is.kswervo]

yeah no question. funny enough they play at Seattle in week 1, he didn't have much success against the state of Washington a year ago lol. But, we shall see.

[@juliusjean-baptiste924]

@@who.is.kswervo very true.

[@c.h.5510]

Have you seen his competition.. a mormon, and a robot 😂

[@Unasham3d]

I guess these people don’t realize just how bad Sam Howell was under center. He wanted to make the big play, but he was normally making the big play for the opposing defense. Now that line has a mauler of a LT from the draft and 2 good new pieces at LG and C. It’s one thing to do this job for ESPN. It’s another thing to be lazy in your research and/or getting the analysts at ESPN to give you data that speaks higher about the line and makes you more informed about the OC/QB pairing being a detriment to that team’s success last season

[@alexamerling79]

Not gonna kill my buzz Mina. Bear down!

[@lorageiger2275]

I think Jayden will adapt the fastest w the competition he's played and his ability to move outside the pocket. I think Caleb Williams will have too much pressure on him. Maye needs more time. JJ isn't ready and Penix isn't gunna start. Jayden wins offensive rookie of the year.

[@stavroszaras6298]

I think there is less pressure on Caleb because of who he has around him. That offense is stacked and while Caleb takes time to adjust to the NFL, he’ll be able to dump it off to those guys and they will get stuff done. Not to mention, Caleb is used to his receivers not being able to get open (more like it’ll be in the NFL with tight coverage) and still finding a way to make a play. Whereas Jayden had receivers that constantly got wide open. The separation for Jayden will be very different from what he saw at LSU. Although maybe you mean more so the spotlight for Caleb being a lot to deal with as opposed to the pressure of trying to carry his team (which is the way I read it).

[@derrickjones3381]

Another man who don't know football. Sam Howard wasn't a problem😅. Clearly it was the offensive line

[@ClutchJoyner]

4:04 😬

[@derekb2405]

IKR? AFTER they're eliminated??? That sounds crazy.

[@OHANA-Beach-Suites-CDO]

Vacation mode!!!🤙🍻🍹

[@antbull0749]

Lazy reporting. The OL has been built up. LT is a question but C and LG & RG is solid. next….

[@Dr_1212]

🤔

[@clemondbrown]

So washington didn't address their oline?

[@c.h.5510]

Mam, this is RGlll2.0 😂

[@Lonnyboss70]

They act like washington didn't get 3 new guys in FA and draft Brandon Coleman from TCU to play tackle!

[@kinghearn233]

Hi

[@brianmulholland2467]

This isn't a difficult question, and it has little to do with the schedule. Williams, Daniels and Nix will start. For Williams and Daniels it's because they're good enough, smart enough, well-prepared enough, and gosh-darnit, people like them. For Nix it's because he's the warmest warm body in the room. McCarthy probably sits for awhile. Maye, I think the question is whether he's ready to start for opening day 2025. Per Mina taking yet ANOTHER run at the Commies' OL...look, I'm not saying they're going to be great, or even above average, but they weren''t as bad as you think last year. Alot of that was on Howell and Beinemy. And they won't be as bad as you think this year.

[@rmacsportcg1319]

Bo Nix isn't scare. Broncos win 27-16.

[@motivatedt9926]

Caleb got weapons with no O-line

[@RyuujinLetum]

Yep that sounds right. Been like past couple years lol

[@jpgutierrrez6381]

He has two young solid tackles and a great right guard. Bears had a middle of the pack o-line last year and the reason fields took so many sacks is because he held onto the ball too long. The line is not best but it's not terrible either

[@Crubey23]

@@jpgutierrrez6381 I think you mean left guard. Cause our best O-Line player is Teven and he's our LG. The problem with Teven tho is the fact that he can't play a full season and usually misses an entire months worth of games at minimum. Our RG, Nate Davis, was solid for the titans, but his 1st yr as a bear last yr he was AWFUL. Now he also had a ton of off the field personal/family issues going on, but nonetheless he was terrible last year.

[@c.h.5510]

Better than Youngbdid by 1000%

[@JonKlinkel]

Washington should start Sam Hartman or Marcus Mariota. Bo Nix was the best quarterback in the draft and should start and take the Broncos to the playoffs. Tyson Bagent should be the starter in Chicago (unless they go with Brett Rypien). The Patriots SHOULD have gone with Nathan Rourke....but, at this point, they should start Bailey Zappe or Drake Maye. Sam Darnold should start in Minnesota. Michael Pratt could be good but Jordan Love had a pretty good year for Green Bay - so he's likely not playing any time soon.

Texans defense will destroy the bears

​@alihasan23198 you know people were not talking about strout like that when he was in college he had 1 good year an he had weapons to help him succeed just like caleb look at his offensive line I would much have caleb in a worst situation with a bad offensive line making something out of nothing then strout any day not saying he is walking in to bad situation because he is not look at the weapons we have people just like to hate for no reason

Too bad if he’s great, he’s locked in there for 5 years, and 2 more if they decide to franchise him. He’s not going anywhere.

Daniels is a bust
