Daniels is already in his 20s, almost mid 20s now. When is this weight gain supposed to happen, in his 30s?

Yeah, it’s called the dad bod. Unfortunately he’ll be broken in half by that point so won’t help too much.

You don't take Brock Purdy #2 overall

You do if the alternative is skinny Justin Fields. Or Alex Smith with sprinter speed if you want to be an optimist.

Gosh, those are some really narrow shoulders. Finger's crossed he can stay healthy!

Don’t give up hope. Maybe he’ll hit puberty over the summer. 😞

I hope the media is just making more out of this than there is but I don't like how is this still a topic a day before the draft. Maye and JJM are super quite on that front and just basically seem to be happy to go wherever.

Just take JJ or Maye. This guy clearly would prefer not to be here. How many times did Caleb have to say he was okay going to Chicago. Once by my recollection and it never came up again, seems like JD is clearly trying to put out smoke he’d rather not be here without coming across like a total diva.

I will blow a gasket. But then get in line in a few days. He is the only one that would seriously make me question what the hell Peters saw before making the pick. 

Funny how many people feel the same way about Daniels.

I'm preparing myself to weep Thursday when Washington takes Daniels. Not looking forward to it.

Weeping would be an improvement. Im going to be royally PO’d on what should be one the most exciting nights in recent memory for the team.  Disappointing doesn’t even come close to covering it. Please just let them take JJ if they aren’t sold on Maye.  🙏

What do people think of Daniels if his running fell off? I know I'm getting way ahead of myself, but the dream is to have a quarterback that gets my first- and second-graders through high school. Even before the ACL, RGIII didn't seem sustainable.

Would Daniels still be as viable in 2034 as Maye would be? I literally know nothing about CFB because my heart can't take more than one team and one sport, so I have no horse in this race.

Maybe as an Alex Smith style guy once his legs go?  His arm isn’t anything special, usually those guys who have super long careers in one place have arm strength to spare as they move into their mid 30’s. JD doesn’t have that IMO. He’d be a guy I’d be really nervous about giving a long term big money second contract to regardless of how the rookie contract plays out.

I dunno. Wasn't Vick something like 6'0 215? He was pretty solid.

6’0 at 210. Damn near Herculean compared to Daniels.

I have to say that I feel incredibly deflated that we are going to pick Daniels. I just can't shake the feeling that he's going to be a complete disappointment. While I don't feel like Maye is a slam dunk, I just feel he has the tools and physical build to be a more likely elite QB. Surprised if Daniels makes it 5 years in the league without a career ending injury.

Unfortunately I fear you might be right. The optimistic view IMO is he starts out on fire until the nagging injuries start to accumulate and gradually sap him of his explosiveness by the end of his rookie deal or shortly thereafter. Sort of like Mariota except he didn’t come out of the gate all that strongly but the minor injuries took their toll rather than a single catastrophic one.

Just repeat in your mind that maybe he is so skinny the laws of physics do not apply to him. Kinda like punching a feather floating in the air. 

I’m not sure whether to give this a laughing or crying response.

Bayou Bob is gonna be our pick. 

 

Parsons is gonna pick him up by the ankles and swing him like a bat.

The fun one for sure, I acknowledge that

 

 

Personally I find winning more fun than watching YouTube highlight videos while waiting for our qb to come back from his latest injury but that might just be me. 🤷‍♂️

Strangely my optimism about us taking Maye just went way up.

Well I mean First Round Mock says Daniels is QB SIX in the draft. With a 3rd round grade. So we have to pass on him dont we?

 

 

There’s at least a half dozen good reasons to pass on Daniels but that ain’t one of em.

Do you y’all think we will ever get a real answer from the horses mouth (GMAP) about why he picked whoever it is he picks? No matter who it is I expect that we will never have that level of access….and we will have to trust him. 
 

And I don’t think any of of really trust him. Maybe I’m projecting though. 

If GMAP nails the pick then yeah. He’ll probably provide some insight into the thought process. If he missed at 2nd overall then AP will probably keep that thought process to himself. 😂

The small frame and health concerns, though never materialized in the SEC I think are very valid. Especially when you consider what happened to the last QB here who he reminds you of in all the wrong ways. Dude IS small. I mean, he’s well put together….lean and what not. But he looks like his bones will break if he takes the wrong hit. And more running leads to more possibilities there. That **** is not made up. 
 

I am trying to personally understand the one read and run thing, as I literally do not see it. Just like I didn’t see Mayes arm strength. I say didn’t cause there was one angle of the ball coming out of his hands at the pro day that I saw last night (buddies get together, drink, discuss this ****) that literally made me say woah and then I got it lol. But I get it now! 

If we draft Daniels I’m going to need a Xanax before every game. I can’t stop thinking of him taking off and getting folded up like an accordion.  🤮

I agree with you on Maye... but for those comparing JD to Lamar, Lamar hasn't lost much if anything.  I am in the Maye camp but have to admit there is a part of JDs game that is really really enticing. 

Lamar has an almost supernatural ability to sense and avoid contact. He reminds me of Marvin Harrison in that regard. I have not seen that same sense of self preservation from JD who seems to welcome contact sometimes.

Yeah Keim at the moment has made it clear that while hes heard good things about both QBs, more coaches he talks to prefer Jayden so hes been riding on those comments 

Coaches always go for the sugar high of the quick fix, which a running qb almost always is. Hopefully Peters can look at the bigger of what can Maye be in year 3 vs Jayden. Particularly if the hits on his undersized frame start adding up. I’m not even talking a catastrophic injury, just thinking back to Mariota as a young player and how always seemed to get dinged up every year and it eventually sapped a lot of his explosiveness. Then what?

Two things.  Might not be anything and probably not.  (1) JJ McCarthy was the only player we took out to dinner before his Pro Day.  (2) He was the first interview we had at the Combine.  Seems kind of strange we didn't take out Daniels or Maye.  Maybe they didn't want to be dined.  Yes, that's it.   

I know we met with Maye before hand this morning. Maybe Peters and Quinn took him out for legs and eggs. Who knows?? 🤷

I think a lot of us are going to look silly when Drake falls in this draft.  It seems like no one has actually watched him play football this year.  Everyone sees a young kid who has the prototypical physical appearance but none of the game.  Dude looks like Tarzan and plays like Jane.  

 

These mock drafts and highlight films are fools gold.  Take the time to watch UNC, UVA and the Clemson film.  If he can't do it in college I know he won't do it in the league.

 

 

I’m curious, what would’ve been your opinion on Daniels prior to his 5th year? His tape was signicantly less impressive than anything Maye has put up the last 2 years.

Can people please make up their minds, are the Commanders getting Josh Allen 2.0, or Andrew Luck 2.0, we need to know:

 

 

Either one would make Washington fans the happiest they’ve been in over 30 years

Not sure I agree wth this guy. AT ALL.

 

 

He covers the Bears. Of course he’s going to pump up their guy. Take with a grain of salt

Just show case your arm. Put some velocity on the ball and do not loft it. 

No rainbow balls today please. I thought Daniels was going to clip the ceiling a couple times…

I don’t see how that is wrong honestly. 

At best it’s incomplete, Lamar is far more effective as a runner and better at avoiding contact. Pretty crucial piece of the puzzle he’s missing.
