The Washington Commanders finally decided to shut Jayden Daniels down for the season. He didn't like it, but the decision-makers believe it's the best option right now.
It's also brought forth an uncomfortable truth that fans may not want to admit.
Marcus Mariota stepped in again for Daniels against the New York Giants, and though he was far from perfect, he got the job done. Now, he'll get three more games to improve his chances of a new deal or perhaps even a starting opportunity elsewhere.
The decision to shut Daniels down for the year, at this point, is ultimately the right one.
