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.
As a commanders fan and 40 yrs old I appreciate this comment
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
Thank you for your good blessing towards our Quarterback HTTR
@@lucky-three Yet anthony richardson who's 6'4 250 pure muscle is injury prone?
@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
Last week Daniels overcame the offense having 5 turnovers. Then this week 13 penalties. Kid is unbelievable.
How many 1st and 20's? Incredible!!
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.
Can't teach the clutch gene. Yeah baby, keep him healthy.
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
He plays with a smile. You can tell he loves the game.
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.
💯% AGREED
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.
For sure he and Adam peters did great assembling this coaching staff and deserve credit
EXACTLY! Tell me who deserves it more, I'll be waiting
Add it's all up he is the 2 min drill🎉🎉🎉
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!!!!
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.
@@rajivgomer3527some players just don’t get adjusted to
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.
If Jayden doesn’t have that rib injury, he breaks 1k rushing
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.
Crazy that he got hurt on like a 40 yard run
Agreed
Cuz he would’ve went off on Carolina lol
We don’t want him to have 1k rushing yards.
Rich, I've been watching you since you were at the beginning of NFL network and to hear this from you about a Washington QB is truly unbelievable
Absolutely unbelievable......i was a teenager when NFL Network first started and Rich had a bit more hair but for some reason i also feel like i remember him always having this style hair too, idk 😅 never thought id see the day when rich was talking about a good Washington team and a generational talent at qb....brings a tear to my mf eye 😅
I miss Rich, Mooch and Prime Time! I used to watch NFL GameDay Final every Sunday night, it was the best!
Y’all can’t comprehend what this kid is doing for our fanbase… not just him. The owner, GM, front office, coaching staff and players. The culture being built is one we can get behind and one that (more importantly) gives us hope. HTTR
Yes sir! Besides having one of dem 1’s it starts with the ownership group and it just goes down the chain. So happy for our city because being a Washington sports fan has been brutal! HTTR!
So I just woke up from banging my head on the ceiling. Thanks Rich. HTTR SINCE 1962.
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
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.
HTTR!
Not to mention he doesn't wear a QB wristband with the plays on it.
Excellent point! 😳
Bo Nix fan,
God dam daniels is amazing.
we got love for Bo too. Broncos got one with him as well!
At LSU, too. Not to mention Joe burrow.
Bo is absolutely fantastic and will carry you for years. Jayden is other worldly
Bo and Brock are real good too. But Jayden is nuts
I had JD5 as best QB coming out of Draft and Bo as #2
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…
That was Jayden's Pink Panther play! Smooth how he stepped out of bounds😎
Something about hearing Rich shoutout Stu like that makes my heart happy. RIP to the GOAT.
Or this one. 5 TDS in the last :30 seconds of a game. CLUTCH.
MJ-like
In different games not the same game right?
Holy fucc. He’s amazing
Makes me so happy for all my family members to hear this team finally having positive things to talk about again
I can’t see them taking a step back next year with all the cap they have along with the draft and players that wanna be there.
👍🏿 Fingers crossed for more success. Couldn't be happier. So proud of the Team regardless. Awesome year.
And that's just it, imagine how many players are going to want to come here and play for this team and jd5
Our schedule is going to be brutal next year, so I can see a regression as far as record.
@@beausoter1763true but I feel like we have the edge in division. Boys and giants in rebuild. Eagles are at their climax. 2 years tops til they’re in rebuild mode unless howie pulls some more rabbits out his butt
The only steps back next year, is when JD5 drops back to throw 15 TDs to Scary Terry
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.
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
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.
Imagine if he wasn't injured against the Eagles in the 1st encounter. It would be 2-0 against the birds.
You ain’t kiddin’.
Nice acknowledgement of Stuart Scott, Rich.
The football lights have shined and will shine on the Commanders for many seasons to come... yes we are lucky to have jd5.... we love him no matter what he does at this point... He's overproven at the moment🔥🏈🔥
I'm thrilled our former LSU player and Heisman winner is doing so well for the Washington Redskins! Now I'm a Redskins fan!
Jayden has been amazing this season for Washington rs he has the talent and potential wish him and Washington much more success 🎉👏 this is amazing he's definitely the guy
I never understood the MVP. There is not one guy in the league that is more valuable to their team than JD this year.
MVP is an award for the best QB in the league. Not named Mahomes. This year it’s Josh or Lamar.
i love his presence in the games.... so chill.... just seems like he always knows what to do.... i'm big Jayden fan :)
Give him a key to the city . He's brought our city BACK, everyone is buzzing with excitement for the first time in 30 years .
Really appreciate the Stuart Scott reference. Hard to believe it's been 10 years already. Still the greatest.
The slim reaper
Not gonna lie, as a Washington fan, I wanted Caleb Williams. But GD, I’m so happy to have this kid on the team I love! I just hope he stays healthy and we continue to build around him. Free agents are going to want to play here now, not so much for the money, but for a chance to play with him and win. Keep building Washington, keep building. Our city is revived with hope!
For the first time in a long time I can say I am so happy to be a Redskins/Commanders fan
JD and Washington are the biggest story of this NFL season
JD Vance in Washington?
Daniels@@davedowling1753
Caleb somewhere screaming “ that shoulda been me “ 😂
The more I hear them talk it puts me in the mindeset of Jordan, Kobe, Brady all of the greats
I'm done with my 18 yard run that breaks your spirit😂 I fing love it httc4life
"Just as cool as the other side of the pillow". Love it! It is a fun team to watch!
Something about Jayden Daniels always makes me think of the phrase "In Like Flynn" because he has the swagger and coolness of Errol Flynn.
Rich analyzed Jayden Daniels so perfectly. He's our Superman. HTTR
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.
Making a case for Brock Bowers isn’t laughable. If it’s rookie MVP its daniels all day, if it’s best rookie stats and performance it’s Brock
Yes!
@@Newlegacy1517 Jaydens stats are literally making history dude. L take
@ and Brock’s aren’t?
@Newlegacy1517 my guy brock has 4 TDs
I thought that was Caleb Williams. Jayden Daniels wasn't upset by them bringing everyone in. As a Washington fan, I watched it all and I do not recall that.
As a lifelong REDSKIN fan.....I was so happy when Dan Snyder left........then when they drafted Jayden Daniels, I was afraid it was RGIII all over again. So glad I was wrong. Jayden seems to be a great person, and is going to be an amazing player.......next ten years should be awesome.
AP and DQ will boost the roster through free agency, trades and the draft. The team should be better overall next year with less of a need for JD5 to be Superman to win each game.
My favorite sports show I love how they don't try to talk over top of each other plus they love my team
JD5 is one of the best gifts around during this holiday season. Happy New Year one and all. 🎉
Commanders won 4 in a row earlier this year as well, weeks 2-5
jd5 for mvp !! rookie of the year already sowed up!!!!! tell me he dont deserve it remember we were 4-13 last year and he only got 1weapon!! he been the most clutch player
The 4th Qtr TD stat is a record for all QBs (vet or rookie) since the 70s.
Almost gotta feel bad for TJ, you know as a Cowboys fan he HATES Jayden, but as a professional he can't say that :D
TJ is ok he knows his cowboys are 🗑️
it’s never acceptable for anyone to feel sorry for cowgirls fans…ever.
7:48 Caleb Williams said that, Daniels just showed up with others. He humble like that.
Rich definitely put that sauce on it. Glazed my man all the way up.
@ I agree but…Pause 😂
I have lost track of the number of rookie records he has set. 20? 25? 40? It's insane 😳!!!
Dude is not taking a step back. He has that mamba mentality.
That final TD pass caught Ertz.
Last night was the first time I got to sit down and watch him play an entire professional game. Wow. Super fun! Having said that, I just want to take the opportunity to say, Suck it Bears!
Do not let that man get hurt. And don't let him hurt himself.
When he got bent back on his leg early in the game I felt like I got punched in the gut by Mike Tyson. Couldn’t believe he got up from that and shook it off.
Good stuff from a Chiefs fan….I remember this feeling when Pat was drafted! I chose all my sports teams based on Native Americans as a kid and I remember choosing between these two teams like it was yesterday. This year was 1989 and it would have been an easy choice if I were a wagon jumper…The Redskins were good but I always rooted for the underdog I was also mesmerized by C.Okoye and chose the Chiefs. I have always wanted to see a Washington vs KC Superbowl 🥂 I low key always pulled for that organization 🤫
RICH ANALYSIS IS SO MESMERIZING ... SOFT TOUCH IS AWESOME ..
Cool Hand Jay!
Bro a mike evans and lattimore reunion 🤯
I love how the commanders finally getting some Respect
Just a young flash in the pan! Great runner but does not have the body to repeat over n over year after year~ one hit away from it ending!
127 yards rushing! The Slim Reaper is a bad boy! Put the entire team on his back last night!
One of the best games of the year. I agree with the picture of Baker Huggins Daniel s. Haha. A1
Damn right we're out of our gourds. Waited a long time for this, went thru alot of suffering for this. Cant wait for the future
Chris is right, the NFL has always been better when Washington is good.
Wow, so weird to see the Washington team I've loved since the 70s get some love once again. Over 2 decades of meh. To what we have today. THANK YOU, Josh Harris and co-owners!! Much love from the fans.
Jayden Daniels is playing like a 5 year veteran, a bright young man
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.
PLEASE.. STAY.. HEALTHY 🙏
I can hear the Bear fans sniffling in the background and asking for someone to pass them a Kleenex
He ended the Bears season. They lost every game after JD5 destroyed them
Stop calling him a kid. I know sportscasters like to do this but he's a 24 year old man who has a level of calmness and confidence far beyond his years.
Stewart Scott RIP the 🐐
Go Redskins!!!!!
If the commanders get some depth at CB and OL. Watch out.
They need starters not depth.
They also need more talent at WR and edge rushers
@ you are correct. I am trying to be realistic on what they can improve in one draft and FA period.
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.
The offensive line must be working under the "they cant call them all" philosophy. Just dont get the kid hurt.
I said back in April this kid should have been the first pick in the draft.
Rich? 3:48 Who are the other four??????A1
JD 5 doing it with other teams leftovers besides Scary Terry just speaking for WR
I picked up Daniels in the 8th round of my fantasy draft... Right after Nabers and Bowers... Playing for the Chip tonight. 😎😏
I WON!!
I haven't forgotten that you are the same guys that said you'd still draft Caleb Williams #1 overall despite a 13 game sample of both players.
...and isn't it great that JD5 is not a diva? Grinder who is smooth as silk.
🤣forgot about the rookie QB Top Golf visit !
Very Happy Skins Fan and just saying he is truly the League MVP (Value to the team )
Love Josh Allen/Lamar/Saquon but were they on the 2nd worst team last year ?
What if DC goes further in the playoffs ?
HTTR !
BTW
JUST BEAT DALLAS !
@joe-edward Noted Dan Quinn for Coach of the Year honors. I agree and add that the clock management has been very good this year. Hail Mary. This game, Eagles game last week. There were a few others. Dan Quinn gets COY credit for his really excellent clock management.
Bowers broke the Ditka TE yards record and broke Puka’s rookie catch record from last year.
And yet he’s not even relevant. That’s how ridiculous jd5 has been.
Nobody sees the Raiders on TV
You can’t say with such certainty that ‘I’m sure he’ll step back next season!” He may get more talent on the Offense and Defense that would allow him to “STEP UP!”
I'd like to think that the Commanders brining in other QBs along with JD5 was to make the Bears think they had questions about him, which would increase the chances of the Bears taking Caleb. If so, it was a stroke of genius.
Like @MikePerdue said .. JD5 and Skins overcame 5 TOs last week and won with a game winning TD pass and this week 13 Penalties/110+ yds and won with a game winning OT pass. Out of this world 🌍 stuff in DC
5:04 they had a 4 game win streak 3 years ago
Happy for my team. Happy for the rest of the fans that have been there through every horrible season of the Dan Snyder decades. Adam Peters, the architect, is building around Jayden, and this team can run for a Super Bowl in a year or two. At the moment, the only elite corner we have is Lattimore. Postseason quarterbacks are going to be throwing all over this secondary if Lattimore isn't out there. If the offense eliminates all the penalties, they could help Jayden out even more. I would assume Dan Quinn knows all this. Should be better vs. the Cowboys.
Love you guys at the TRES keep up the good work. Go PHINS !!
Folks need to give Brian thomas jr some love
Sorry Bears 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
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.
His rib injury slowed him down from more TDs and not getting close enough for 1000 yards rushing
Other than the top 4 teams, the other teams can also take it all. I never seen a playoff like this one
It has been a long 30 years.
It's not what I'm hoping for at all, but remember the last good rookie qb Washington had, and _his_ first playoff game?
RG-Knee remembers
His nickname can be "Mr. Cool" or "Mr. Smiles"
Slim Reaper lol
That Kid Jayden.
Commanders are a Super Bowl threat
Oof their defense not there yet
I hope so but our defense struggles
Not yet.
@@blantantTrue, but as shown, the offense can compensate
With that horrible secondary now that Latimore is out again, they'll be lucky to win a playoff game.
Washington fans you are so fortunate you got rid of Snyder before he had the chance to draft this phenom because Daniels would have covered up most of Snyder's stench.
Jaden Daniels is proof all you need is a franchise quarterback to bring a franchise from the brink. Fortunately for his team, he now has competent ownership. Can't say the same about another franchise quarterback with a moribund franchise (Cincinnati).
HTTC ❤️💛❤️💛
