For Washington’s long-suffering fan base, Jayden Daniels’ performance to date has been a revelation. He came into camp looking like anything but a rookie, and he’s made plays with both his arm and legs. Daniels has transformed the Commanders from a struggling bottom feeder to a playoff contender, and with Daniel Snyder gone, there’s are plenty of reasons to root for this team again.
But there is a cautionary note that needs to be mentioned—we’ve seen this movie before. It happened just over a decade ago when Washington debuted a flashy young quarterback named Robert Griffin III, aka RG3, who also made spectacular plays with both his arm and his legs. As spectacular as the Commanders’ win over the Bears was, Daniels is now entering the kind of scenario that led to Griffin’s downfall.
