I sort of understand why Jayden Daniels was still in the game with over 8 minutes left in the game. Having played football in high school, I understand the mentality of at least keeping up the appearance that you're still trying to win the game.

What I DON'T understand is why Dan Quinn or Kliff Kingsberry still had Jayden Daniels calling Quarterback running plays...all night long my Father-In-Law and I were saying that if the Washington Commanders Coaches kept having Jayden Daniels run on designed scrambles, he was going to get hurt!

And Yes I do agree that this season is Over!

I'd understand keeping him in if the outcome was undetermined as, yes, he needs playing time. But at that point you are risking your #1 player for no benefit.

But definitely agree on the QB runs, and even DQ said it was a handoff or throw play, it wasn't set up for him to run. If its a designed run, i.e. he has blockers, or a broken pass play it's one thing, but that was neither. He himself has to be play smarter too...
