He is one hell of a QB that's for sure. They'll be in the conversation for the next decade if he stays healthy and should get to a Superbowl(s) in the future! The fumbles cost them and not being able to stop Sequon or the run in general! I personally thought the dance was stupid under the circumstances, but they still had a shot to win the game at that point so not terrible!

That isn't the point.

You don't showboat your individual success while your team is getting their asses kicked ...... Andrew Luck and Peyton Manning would never do such a thing as Daniels did yesterday, because leaders with good perspective like Manning and Luck aren't that short-sighted. Daniels is only a 23 year-old rookie, so I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and presume that by the time that he is in his late 20's he won't be acting that way anymore in that specific kind of situation.

I've pointed out on numerous occasions that football is a team game, and star players need to pick their team up (as Daniels did yesterday) ...... and by the same token, if a star player has a bad game, his team needs to pick him up because football is a team game ..... if Daniels had thrown 4 INT's yesterday but his team were up by 11 points after he scored that touchdown, I would have had no problem at all with him strutting it up in the end-zone.

And I'm not just picking on Daniels, because this type of nonsense is very prevalent throughout the NFL ...... on hundreds of occasions over the last 25 to 30 years, I have seen players celebrate sacking a quarterback when their team is down by more than 14 points.

Lamarr Houston tore his ACL while celebrating a sack of New England Patriots backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, while the Bears were losing by 25 points ...... the game was so out of hand that the Patriots took Tom Brady out, and had their 2nd-string QB finishing up the final minutes of the 4th quarter.

Whooping it up over making a good play while your team is being manhandled has been going on for decades in the NFL, and unfortunately, it isn't going to stop any time soon ...... I hope that Jayden Daniels distances himself from these clowns as he matures, because I really like his game overall.
