"While Daniels hasn't performed well, he's way down the list of Washington's problems right now. This led one NFL analyst to suggest that this aging roster might not have what it takes to get its signal-caller into the truly elite category."
"Daniels hasn't hit the meteoric heights of last season as yet. It's also extremely early in the process. It was always going to take time to get back into the groove, and he's come up against two formidable defensive fronts to begin the campaign."
"The case for the Commanders this year was that even though there are all these regression signs, have an older team and a much harder schedule, this was the year that Jayden Daniel shows that I need to be put in that Josh Allen, Lamar, Mahomes [conversation]. If I'm on your team, you're going to win between 11 and 13 games because I'm on your team. And the way he's played the first two games, it is not. Not looked like he is that guy, but we'll see. It's a long season ... This is when you have a bunch of old guys, the fear is the old guys aren't going to hold up over the course of the season. So you've already lost one."
The Washington Commanders suffered a lopsided loss to the Green Bay Packers, and Jayden Daniels drew heavy criticism despite multiple team weaknesses. Daniels has not matched last season's peak so far, but he has faced two strong defensive fronts and needs time to regain rhythm. Expectations were higher from fans and analysts, and Daniels acknowledges the need for improvement while remaining determined. Concerns about an aging roster center on durability over a long season and whether veteran decline will hinder any quarterback's ability to elevate team performance.
