5 bold predictions for Commanders QB Jayden Daniels in Week 4 at Cardinals
By Dean Jones
If anyone was unaware of the talent Jayden Daniels has at his disposal, they should have crystal clear clarity following his sensational primetime performance at the Cincinnati Bengals. The Washington Commanders gained a stunning upset win on the road thanks in no small part to their quarterback, who was nothing short of exceptional throughout to officially announce himself on the NFL stage.
It's been a long time since Commanders' fans had legitimate hope. It's been a long time since this storied organization had a genuine franchise quarterback to depend on. Now, it seems they have both.
This is just the start for Daniels. He'll know the hard work is just beginning and getting complacent cannot become an issue. Thankfully for the Commanders, his outstanding work ethic and calm demeanor should ensure any complications are kept to a minimum.
Next up for Daniels is a road contest against the Arizona Cardinals. He's spending the week in familiar surroundings as the Commanders practice at Arizona State, the place where he began his college career before transferring to LSU. Expectations are growing, so it'll be interesting to see if Washington and its new prized possession can maintain their much-improved form over the last fortnight.
With this in mind, here are five bold predictions for Daniels in Week 4 at State Farm Stadium.
Bold predictions for Commanders QB Jayden Daniels at the Cardinals in Week 4
Jayden Daniels throws 3 touchdowns
Looking at the two high-octane offenses in this one, it's got all the makings of another shootout. That might be the best way for the Washington Commanders to stay competitive until Joe Whitt Jr. rectifies the defensive problems blighting the organization currently.
Jayden Daniels and the offense are masking these flaws to a certain extent, but that can only last so long. Kliff Kingsbury opened up the offense last week to give the Cincinnati Bengals plenty of plays they weren't anticipating. The offensive coordinator will have something else up his sleeve for the team that fired him as head coach following the 2022 campaign.
Daniels threw the first two touchdowns of his professional career on Monday Night Football. Don't be surprised if the signal-caller produces another multi-touchdown passing performance at the Arizona Cardinals this weekend.
