After Jaden Daniels break out game last night for the commanders on Monday night football, Daniels has as many TD passes as incompletions. Does that put more pressure on Kayla Williams, who has picked one spot ahead of Daniels? Is this a rivalry? I hope it becomes a rivalry. It would be a lot of fun in my view. You see two young quarterbacks. If they come into their own as rookies, that would be tremendous to compare and contrast. And yeah, you can always wonder if the Bears got the right guy. And I hope that it's a good debate moving forward. I hope Jaden Daniels has a terrific career. And if any, last night is any indication he sure is going to because 21 to 23, and then he had two incompletions and two touchdown passes. He threw for 254 yards, 141.7 pass rating, phenomenal breakout game for Jaden Daniels in front of a nationally televised audience. So I think that the commanders got their guy. Kayla Williams, does that put more pressure on him? I don't know if it's possible to put more pressure on Kayla Williams than what he already is facing coming into the season. Deemed as the savior for this franchise, and they're asking him to do a lot already. They're asking him to diagnose the pass protection or the pass rush and set up the protection and then be accurate and do all the things that experienced veteran quarterbacks typically do. He's a rookie, and they're asking him a lot because I think they feel like he can handle a lot. And I still think he can. I don't think this is going to be a situation where like Patrick Mahomes, you look at him as the one that got away in the 2017 draft. I don't think that we're going to look at Jayden Daniels as the one that got away. I think Kayla Williams is going to have a career that's comparable to Jayden Daniels. Both guys are going to grow into Pro Bowl caliber quarterbacks. The ones that got away to me last night as much of we're going to talk about Jayden Daniels, you wonder about Dan Quinn, now being the guy that got the job when Matt Eberflu's got it over him. And Quinn was a finalist and certainly Cliff Kingsbury, the guy with a cool house calling all the plays. He interviewed for the job as a play caller for the Bears. Those are the guys that got away too. Is Trace Armstrong the agent for either of those two guys? We could talk about that later. If you want October the 27th, speaking of this rivalry or maybe rivalry, the Bears are at the commanders October 27th. So the hype around that will be huge. I wonder if last year's number one overall pick and his build and where he played football in comparison where Jayden Daniels played football, meaning in the SEC, they're both kind of slight guys. I wonder if his ineffectiveness had anything to do with downgrading Jayden Daniels? Maybe, maybe not, but something that I'm thinking. I don't know where that would come from. He's a lot taller. But they're very skinny. They both played on teams that have a ton of guys in the NFL. The height issue was the one that was of concern with Bryce Young and still remains. So at any rate, I think that they have not punted in two games. So when your quarterback calls your punter, tell them, "Hey, we're not going to need you," it would have been true in Washington if they had drafted a punter. They haven't punted and they've scored on every possession. I mean, look, the guy completed 91.3% of his passes or something. This was just absurd. It's a crazy near-perfect game. And I don't know how you don't look at it and just say, "Wow, did you even look at him? Did you even talk to him? Did you for a second? You didn't even have him come in. You didn't spend two minutes with him. Couldn't you have just looked? Couldn't you have? Did you break down the tape and then conclude there's something wrong here and we don't want that?" I don't know. I think everything's on the table. I think the coach questions on the table. I think the assistant coach questions on the table. I think the fact that you didn't talk to the guy is on the table, you better make sure that your guy works out. Caleb Williams better work out because it sure seems like this kid's working out and it doesn't seem like they got the wrong offensive coordinator or there's any issues going on behind the scenes. Seems pretty comfortable in what he's doing and they're calling the right place. I mean, I'm not willing to dismiss Caleb Williams, but I mean, mother of god, this is pretty special what this kid is doing. He looks special. Can you imagine the reaction in Chicago? I think that's a term that triggers a lot of people, but what that means is that he's the best player at that position in a generation of Washington quarterbacks. And then if you want to call him that in DC, go ahead because I think it seems to have, well, it's going to apply at some point in time. Can you imagine the reaction in Chicago? If the Bears would have selected Jaden Daniels ahead of Caleb Williams, what that offseason would have been like? It might have been great. I mean, I don't, I think that I think they had the ability to do that. I don't think anybody was going to light torches and march on. And you know, let me ask some, let's say that they had done that. Let's say they took Jaden Daniels, would they have to get rid of Justin Fields? Could they've had two quarterbacks? Didn't part of what they did get rid of Fields because they wanted to. I think they got rid of Fields because they were ready to move on at the position. Yeah. I don't think that keeping Fields was a, was it was a, it was untenable for no regardless of who you drafted. I think they should have gotten more for him. Well, that's a different conversation. Well, that was my only conversation. You could have maybe got more for me if you would, but I, but I don't think keeping him, they kept them and then gave them away. I mean, that's what I didn't understand. Yeah, I don't think they end up getting a fourth. I don't think that drafting your rookie quarterback and keeping Justin Fields made a lot of sense. Yeah, I don't, I don't know if you were ready to turn the keys over, get the keys to the rookie quarterback. I mean, I just think that you could have done that if you so chose. I don't think it would have been the worst idea in the world. I mean, and I said that at the time, I felt like unless you were getting value for the guy, the guy had some value and he could help you in different ways, even if it wasn't at the quarterback, and it turns out he's doing okay a quarterback, but you know, they don't play that style anyway, right? It's, it's just interesting. They don't play that style. No, but it's interesting to see what is going on around where they're at. And I don't think you can put any more pressure on Caleb Williams. The pressure is already there. He knows it. He puts pressure on himself and we'll just monitor everything moving forward. It's, it's, it's a hack of a story. I know that.
