Update: Jayden Daniels Has Now Won Rookie Of The Week 5 Of The First 6 Weeks Of The Season
Hey Book, how many times???
5 times!
It's getting a bit ridiculous and I agree. They should just name it the Jayden Daniels Award and start giving it to other people. Jayden clearly is in a class of his own among the other rookies and they should start spreading the love to everyone else.
And let me be clear- this is not a Caleb vs Jayden thing. I don't think Jayden winning makes Caleb bad or anything like that. I like Caleb. I think most Commanders fans don't even think twice about Caleb. It would be AWESOME if both QBs were great and we have a Brady/Manning rivalry for the next 10 years.
And ok let's be honest- Caleb should have won last week. 4 TDs is nothing to sneeze at. I guess it's a fan vote and more Commanders fans are stuffing the ballot than Bears fans? That would make sense.
But I think the over-arching storyline we should be following is if, as I said above, both QBs rock. If they both are franchise guys we are in for some great football. Add in Stroud, Burrow, Mahomes, Purdy, Josh Allen, Lamar, Baker….etc (Jordan Love? Hurts? Dak?) and maybe the QBs in the NFL have never been better.
Rookie of the Week is great…but I can't wait for his first MVP. Jayden is special and we're all lucky to see him at work.
