Jayden Daniels leads Commanders to NFC Championship, sparking debates about his place among NFL’s greatest rookie quarterbacks as the Ravens face major questions.

Detroit made a huge statement in Week 18 with their beatdown of the Minnesota Vikings, but the Commanders have something the Vikings don’t; a mobile quarterback in the form of Jayden Daniels. The Lions have struggled with stopping mobile quarterbacks this season. This could very well carry over into the postseason.

The phrase "Greatest of all time," aka GOAT, is overused in sports discourse these days, but there is a legitimate path to Washington Commanders 2024 second overall pick quarterback Jayden Daniels having the best rookie season in NFL history.

Daniels, the dual-threat dynamo behind the Washington Commanders ’ rapid turnaround, and Nix, whose steady playmaking turned the Denver Broncos into one of the league’s biggest surprises, are only the fourth pair of rookie quarterbacks to make the playoffs in the same season after serving as full-time starters.

Jayden Daniels isn't your average rookie quarterback. His success with the Washington Commanders has come in an entirely different way than normal.

Jayden Daniels knew it before anyone else. The rookie out of LSU has managed to make that eleven-year-old tweet ring true. Following his win over the Detroit Lions, Daniels became just the second rookie quarterback to lead their team to a conference championship.

The Commanders rookie is playing well beyond his years at exactly the right time, while some of his veteran peers are catching flak for their playoff performances.
