The Washington D didn't didn't do them any favors either.
So Daniels can only win if his defense is getting him a bunch of turnovers like last week and everything goes his way?

In sports, adversity hits and you have to elevate your team above it all. He didn't do that today. He's not there yet. Who knows, might never get this chance again. Washington laid an egg from the start. Quinn set the tone by kicking a FG after an 8min drive and it was 4th and 3. That tells your team you are scared. We saw him go for that constantly all year. Quinn coached scared. Eagles got the ball back and scored in 1 game. To me, that was game. That told me Philly was here to score all game and Washington doesn't have the horses for that fight.

He cant make them not fumble. This is the same silly argument people used to make when they would shade Brady for about 7 years because of things like his WR dropping a game winning TD. He can go out there and make the throw but it is up to the players to hold onto the ball and up to the defense to stop him. He cant magically make the defense play well and he cant force the players to not fumble. There is no player in the history of the NFL who could do what you describe.

One thing about Daniels is he looks quite skinny. With the way he plays, he could easily get hurt and that would change the narrative. Needs to hit the weight room in the off season.

Wins are a team stat not a QB stat. Otherwise Trent Dilfer is a top 40 all time QB.

We have actual QB stats and by those stats Stroud played better than him last year.
It may be a team stat but QBs have a W/L record. Daniels elevated Washington this season. He’s already best QB in the division despite the loss today. Turnovers kill Washington along with Philly’s defense.
