Daniels exceeded all expectations as a rookie final season, steamrolling his technique to the Offensive Rookie of the Yr award and main the Commanders to the NFC Championship sport for the primary time in three many years.
Montana wasn’t the full-time starter for the San Francisco 49ers till his third season, and in that first yr as a starter, he completed second in MVP voting and led the Niners to the primary of his 4 Tremendous Bowl championships.
When it comes to enjoying type, Montana was by no means as cell as Daniels, because the rookie ran for over half as many yards in his one yr as Montana did in his complete 15-season profession.
It’s fairly the praise to bestow upon a younger quarterback, and Commanders followers can solely hope their new franchise QB can deliver residence the sort of {hardware} Montana did.
