2. Overreaction Monday edited??

3. Man his voice is made for radio o.O pls let him get a carrier after the carrier in commentary or something

4. JD will be listed as week to week. Team is hopeful he will play vs CHI

5. All eyes will be on DQ giving Jayden the ok to play Sunday.

6. JD injured in the first 6 games of his career. Kid isn't going to last. Sorry W fans. Kid is a twig

7. Terry, you are saying too much!! You don’t tell everyone that the game plan didn’t change. That’s a huge advantage to have over your next opponent to have them not know which qb is going to play so they will have to prepare for two qb’s instead of just one. Now that they know the game plan doesn’t change they don’t have to worry about it.

   Cmon Terry! You’re supposed to be a Vet!

8. yall really cut this interview right there?

9. @2ichie that was 4 that game plain not 4 Chicago 😅

10. Jayden's not hurt 😂 we just don't want The Bears to have much film 😂😂😂😂😊

11. He is the best backup QB in the NFL. So lucky to have him.

12. Sit Jayden for the Bears game. Go with Marcus. Will be good for coaches to know if Mariota can sustain this. Coach won't say exactly what the injury is – so it's prolly more serious than believed. Likely torn cartilage. Rest those ribs and teach Jayden just about the only major NFL rookie lesson he still has to learn: running sensibly. If the rookie won't protect himself – he NEEDS to be benched! Yes Daniels awfully selfish habit of getting tackled badly is Jayden's version of "rookie weakness" and instead of costing us a few interceptions or fumbles here and there, Daniels reckless running could cost the entire season or franchise or his whole career. We don't need a big media hypeshow versus the Bears, we need a healthy, strong, smartrunning, accurate QB for the rest of the season and hopefully the playoffs. If Daniels does not wake up and finish fixing out his biggest structural weakness as a player, that QB might well be Mariota.

    And it's likely all related to Daniels VR obsession, which has produced such astonishing results — in the areas it covers: reading, dodging and throwing. REMEBER THOUGH: VR DON'T DO TACKLES! THE VR STRONGPOINT IS THE VR WEAKPOINT! Coaches should have realized this and gotten more forceful about it earlier. Jayden admitted after game one that he has NEVER PRACTICED SLIDING!! That's a glaring bit of overconfident malpractice by Jayden, his teammates and the Coaches. Yes VR gave Daniels exceptional reading, elusiveness, and accuracy – BUT this is NFL football where nearly every play ends in a HARD TACKLE – NOT VR football where every play ends in a gentle chime and a reset button. Dealing poorly with tackles is definitely the biggest and by far the most dangerous chink in the otherwise dazzling Daniels armor. Use the VR headset less and the weight room and "slip and slide" more, unless the VR shows him how calm down to slide better and sooner. Otherwise desperate opponents will soon TRY to risk baiting Daniels out of the pocket hoping to ring his bell with some devastating safely or LB hit and get him out of the game or get a turnover.

    Maybe MAYBE Jayden comes back for the Steelers game – but only if he can prove he has mastered as excellent repertoire of slide, dive, sideline and curl responses to TACKLES, just has he has to zone and man defenses, tempo, playbook, anticipation and receiver routes. Otherwise, coach should be Coach and just sit Daniels until he improves just like any other rookie with a bad weakness. Speaking of Steelers game – next week take a long look at Steelers monster TE, Darnell Washington, big and strong as lineman with great Bench press numbers, catches like a TE, 265+ lbs, 6'7 4.6/40!! Yes 4.6 at 265+ lbs!! Steelers overuse him a a blocking TE in their scheme – but Washington could really flourish in "The Kliff System" where he could "turn the chips into pancakes: and STILL run the route, and is powerful reliable and fast enough to spell Brian Robinson. Commanders should try and trade for Darnell or get another TE like him, although though he is a rare specimen. Back in 2023 draft I strongly advocated for taking a shot on him. Rivera got Stromberg instead who has been waived – while Darnell Washington is now a starter for the Steelers.. Tol ja so!
