Jayden Daniels' stuttering season wasn't what anyone associated with the Washington Commanders envisioned. He's not alone, but the quarterback's inconsistent performances and injury problems have become a frustrating roadblock in his quest to be considered among the league's elite. Nobody is pressing the panic button with Daniels, not by a long shot. He remains an exceptional performer. Things might not be going according to plan for the Commanders this season, but their long-term future is incredibly bright with the dynamic signal-caller leading the charge.

The sixth-year player has started in all seven of his appearances this season. However, the team captain has seen his role reduced over the course of the season. Rookies Barrett Carter and Demetrius Knight Jr. have received the bulk of the team's defensive snaps.

Washington Commanders fans now have a good idea of what Marshon Lattimore is. One week, you're going to get an accomplished performance that reminds people why he was considered one of the league's most prolific shutdown cornerbacks once upon a time.

I think obviously that's part of life, and there's other stuff to think about too, but I think I've always been pretty good at focusing on what I can control and what I can do out there.

My mentality won't change. And certainly just as excited as ever.
