The comparisons to Washington Commanders' quarterback Jayden Daniels have been steady since before he was drafted, and aren't going to stop anytime soon, we expect. This time, Daniels' performance in his first season as part of the Commanders is being compared to a Super Bowl-winning quarterback who once ran for 849 yards without losing a single fumble.

As Mock’s model suggests, there’s a razor-thin margin between these two MVP candidates, and while the model believes Allen to have been the superior player in 2024, Jackson was named a first-team All-Pro, which all but ensures Jackson will win his third MVP.

All told, Daniels set new NFL records for playoff passing yards (822) and completions (75) by a rookie. He tied Ben Roethlisberger (14 wins in 2005) for the most wins by a rookie quarterback in NFL history, including the postseason.
