The quarterback place is as deep and gifted because it ever has been within the NFL nowadays, with Patrick Mahomes racking up Tremendous Bowl rings, guys like Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen continually in his manner and successful MVPs within the course of, whereas different younger QBs equivalent to Jalen Hurts and Joe Burrow have been in a position to forestall him from successful greater than the three titles he already has.

Daniels exceeded all expectations as a rookie final season, steamrolling his option to the Offensive Rookie of the 12 months award and main the Commanders to the NFC Championship recreation for the primary time in three a long time.
Montana wasn’t the full-time starter for the San Francisco 49ers till his third season, and in that first 12 months as a starter, he completed second in MVP voting and led the Niners to the primary of his 4 Tremendous Bowl championships.
When it comes to enjoying type, Montana was by no means as cell as Daniels, because the rookie ran for over half as many yards in his one 12 months as Montana did in his total 15-season profession.
It’s fairly the praise to bestow upon a younger quarterback, and Commanders followers can solely hope their new franchise QB can carry house the type of {hardware} Montana did.
