The Commanders on Monday officially named rookie Jayden Daniels as their starting quarterback.

He impressed Quinn by how he corrected his mistakes, often knowing what went wrong before the coaches had to tell him.
"That's usually the person who has the most self-awareness," Quinn said. "They improve the most, they develop the fastest because they're able to fix some of the things that go wrong, sometimes you got to figure it out. And so [they] can't rely on the coach every single moment to say end this, end this, end this. Jayden has that at the highest level."
This is what Washington expected when general manager Adam Peters made the decision to draft Daniels.
"It's just a blessing that DQ and AP trust me to go out there and lead the team, lead the franchise to hopefully win some games," Daniels said. "It's something I've dreamed about as a kid to experience this moment."
Daniels looks like he’s going to be very good but the fact that he hasn’t practiced sliding is unbelievable and a massive red flag.
He won’t finish a season running the way he does. It’s professional negligence that they aren’t actively practicing this in the building.
hoping he learns to slide and avoid big hits. he realized he messed up before Quinn told him to slide on Saturday so hoping he is able to learn from that
