Commanders' Jayden Daniels has good reason to resist Dan Orlovsky's risky advice

Jayden Daniels has yet to throw an interception this season. But instead of drawing widespread praise in the media, it's come with calls for the Washington Commanders quarterback to be more aggressive.

First, Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner made this claim. Former pro turned ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky seconded that, believing Daniels might be playing too conservatively over Washington's first seven games.

Daniels can push the ball downfield. His accuracy is his biggest strength, and as the game slows down, he is becoming more comfortable with his progressions.
