Former Washington Super Bowl quarterback Joe Theismann fully understands why Jaydenmania is raging in and around the nation’s capital.
SEATTLE — It is far too premature to question whether the Bears should have drafted Jayden Daniels over Caleb Williams. Far too early to liken it to the Panthers choosing Bryce Young over C.J. Stroud.
“You could list 10 things that you want out of a quarterback, he checks every box right now,” Theismann said. “No. 1, knowing where to go with the football. Processing and reading the defense, which he’s still in the development of. And this is where Kliff helps him out, where he gets the ball out of his hands where he doesn’t have to stand back there and survey the field. So 1 would be understanding the offense“Obviously 2 would be his accuracy. 3 would be the velocity of the ball.
“That completion percentage doesn’t come from a lot of 4-, 5-, 6-yard passes,” Theismann said. “He’s throwing the ball down the field . It isn’t like at the end of a game he’s got 110 yards passing, and he’s completed 82 percent of his passes.”“Early on he took some hits,” Theismann said. “He ran and slid once, and he started smiling. And I’m thinking to myself, ‘I think this is what he might be thinking.
“He was very confident,” Sauce told Serby Says. “That’s how I came in, I was confident. So he just had the mentality like he’d be in the league for more than just this year. Confident in his arm, you know? I already told him he was going to be special. I’m not surprised. That’s what’s expected.”The franchise’s frustrating search for a franchise quarterback appears to have ended.
