Same here...Daniels was electric at LSU but I didn't think he would hit the heights as say Joe Burrow did in the NFL, mainly because I thought his slim frame wouldn't stand up to the brutal hits you expose yourself as an agile QB.
Defense wise, if you have Dan Quinn as your head coach and former top defensive coordinator for the Cowboys I think you can safely say they will always be competitive on that side of the ball.
What seems to help out Daniels so far this season is a decent running game, but then again I've been impressed with his decision making & calmness under pressure.
I'm fairly sure the Washington organisation thought this would be a rebuilding year, but who knows if they decide to roll the dice & go out & get a no1 WR to add more weapons for Daniels before the free agency window closes.
