‘Kurt has always been a hater’ – NFL Hall of Famer makes bold statement on Jayden Daniels
Kurt Warner is all in on Jayden Daniels. The Hall of Famer is so in on the Washington Commanders rookie quarterback, he even said he trusts him more than Jared Goff.

Daniels faces Goff and the number one seeded Detroit Lions on Saturday night in the divisional round. While Warner is placing his faith on the rookie, he is by no means slighting Goff. He just believes that Daniels’ skillset opens up a lot more possibility, especially when things aren’t going perfect. And that’s hard to argue. “This is one of those situations, where in those moments, you look at the entirety of the skillset,” Warner said on NFL Network’s Gameday Morning. “As great as Jared Goff is, [I] played the game very much like him, you were so subjective to everything else going on around you. “When you have a Jayden Daniels, or a Patrick Mahomes, things can be chaotic and bad around you, and they have the ability to overcome that, more so than some other quarterbacks. “The Lamar Jacksons and Josh Allens have that ability. “And that to me, leans you in a direction, when both guys have been great, in the moment he gives you a little bit more in what he can do based on what’s needed.” Daniels has had a historic rookie season for the ages, leading Washington to its’ first playoff win in over 20 yearsGetty View Tweet: https://twitter.com/kurt13warner?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Goff is more of a throwback, stand in the pocket, not going to move around a lot, make good decisions with the football, type of quarterback.
