Bears tried to trade for Mike Tomlin

If Daniels had as many pass attempts as Williams, he would have had 4,170 pass yards and 29 TDs. They had the same ypc, but Daniels ran more and scored six times with his legs, giving him 31 total TDs to Williams’ 20. He also had a completion percentage that was 6.5% higher and a QB rating that was 12.3 points higher. Daniels was much better in the pocket, much more poised, less frenetic, more decisive, and had a far inferior group of players to throw to. He knew when to throw the ball away as opposed to taking sacks or negative plays.

It’s easy to throw out three stats to compare these two, but the bottom line (for their rookie seasons) is that Williams couldn’t hold Daniels’ jock and was nowhere near his level of play as a rookie. Williams can still have a great career, but Jayden was the runaway ROY for a reason while Williams was nowhere near the discussion.
Facts 💯. You can’t even compare the two really. Williams was throwing to a top ten receiver pick, an all pro in Keenan Allen and a pro bowler in DJ Moore plus Swift coming out the back field and a respectable TE in Kemet. Jayden did this with guys that were not very highly thought of outside Mclaurin and Austin Ekler. Ertz is still solid but past his prime by far. Nothing against Williams but JD5 was far better.
