But I bet the other players and folks inside the organization are now seeing what I thought was fairly obvious, he does not play well with others and probably just isn't a leader.

couple things. I am 100% willing to admit that the bears have a worse OL than the Commanders. The Commanders OL isn’t good by any stretch though, as they have actually gotten worse over the season. With that said, the major difference under than speed, is the fact that Daniels is a WAY better QB playing from the pocket. Even right now he's statistically one of the best QBs in the league from the pocket. He doesn't really do all the Caleb Williams/Kyler Murray, Pat Mahomes stuff. If he's running, he's picking up yards himself. Only a handful of times have i seen him run around this year to make a pass play.

What some people don't understand os that JD is very cerebral in reading a defense. He's not running around to find the open man, he knows where that defender and his man is supposed to be. He's a film junkie, so he rarely makes those horrible looking ints some guys do. His ints increased recently because he has put it on himself to make more plays because the team around him has gotten worse during the year. In his first 10.5 games (missed 3 quarters vs then trash Carolina with injury), he had 10 TD passes to 3 ints. Over the last 5 games he has 13 TD passes to 6 ints. He also has almost 300 yards rushing and 2 rush TDs during those 5 games. All the while his pass catchers are dropping multiple TDs a game and having so many penalties that he has to drag them out of.
