I mean, Jayden Daniels, is he just, uh, is he just an unstoppable force?

I get it.

The Bengals defense stunk up the joint last week.

The Cardinals defense is not much better, but like I always say, yes, I get it.

We have to adjust to opponents and things like that, but what you wanna do if you're great is come out and just smash an inferior opponent.

And so far Jayden Daniels and his commander's offense has smashed two inferior opponents in back to back weeks.

Yeah, I mean, it's fine to say that, uh, the defense isn't any good.

He, he completed 26 of 30 throws.

Like, um, he's, he's well over 80% for the year and we're four weeks in.

Um, that's crazy.

We, we, uh, this morning on Fantasy Football live, we were discussing how Jaden Daniels had like the, basically the exact formula that you need to finish as the QB one in this era, like the overall QB one for the season, he's given them, you know, what, what was it today?

47 rushing yards, uh, another rushing touchdown, 2, 33 through the air.

That's, that's pretty much what he's averaging, that's gonna make him the QB one by the end of the season if, uh, you know, if Josh Allen falls off his pace even a little bit.

Um, this is a phenomenal season.

Look, I mean, this isn't some just QT little fantasy storyline.

The Commanders are three and one.

They have the best record in the NFC East right now.

And I mean, I, I've never seen a fan base more negative about their team coming off a win on Thursday night than the Cowboys were.

Uh, I don't think any Cowboys fans feel great.

We feel, we feel awesome after Thursday night football, all things are right.

Uh, the Eagles, we'll talk about them later on.

They got pants today by a conference opponent and the Giants are one and three and they don't do anything well, except throw the ball to Malik Neighbors.

Like their entire ethos is the franchise is how do we get the ball in Malik Neighbors Hands, which is cool.

We're probably not gonna lead them anywhere in terms of team success.

So, yeah, the Commanders again, they might just might very well be the best team in this division.

It's, it's not, it's, it, maybe it's crazy, but it's not outright insane now, at this point, because that's how, well Daniels is playing.
