Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels has impressed fans with a 10-5 record, while Caleb Williams, the first-overall draft choice for the Chicago Bears, has seemed defeated during their 10-game losing streak.
NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger discussed Daniels’ success under offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury compared to Williams’ struggles in his debut season.
“Jayden always has an answer no matter what you do,” Baldinger said. “He’s an elite athlete who can escape and make plays. The offense is designed for him to make safe throws and build confidence.”
StatMuse website data shows Daniels excelling in passing and rushing yards, touchdowns, and QBR rankings, while Williams lags behind in these categories.
Baldinger attributes Williams’ challenges to the Bears’ mid-season coaching changes, leading to a high number of sacks on the quarterback.
DraftKings Sportsbook heavily favors Daniels for the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award, while the Bears are searching for a new head coach to maximize Williams’ potential in his second season.
