# Anthony Armstrong: Armstrong says a healthy Jaden Daniels is a top-10 NFL quarterback and predicts he will be back on the top-10 quarterback list after the 2026 season. **Claimed:** Jul 15, 2026 **Pundit:** Anthony Armstrong — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/anthony-armstrong **Outlet:** Locked On Commanders (podcast) — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/locked-on-commanders-podcast **How it reached us:** said on air, transcribed by us **Original:** https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/pdrl.fm/7c3048/lockedon.simplecastaudio.com/dd4ec57b-d2e1-4378-a057-7e7fe1d38252/episodes/fe89d52e-7576-4422-9e2a-199cd5b52164/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=dd4ec57b-d2e1-4378-a057-7e7fe1d38252&awEpisodeId=fe89d52e-7576-4422-9e2a-199cd5b52164&feed=psq7p3Ar 2 checkable claims — 2 positional finishes — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 2 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 2 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one. > I think we can look at Jaden Daniels and say, when he's healthy, he's a top 10 quarterback in the NFL. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Jayden Daniels to finish top 10 at his position, by passing yards** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Jayden Daniels, Washington Commanders - Verdict: too vague to check - **Jayden Daniels to finish top 10 at his position, by passing yards** - Kind: Positional Finishes · About: Jayden Daniels, Washington Commanders - Verdict: too vague to check ## Who this take is about - Jayden Daniels — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/players/jayden-daniels - Washington Commanders — https://missedtakes.co/nfl/teams/commanders ## What others said about the same people - David Harrison on Washington Commanders: Harrison lays out a path for the Washington Commanders to exceed their 7.5-win total, identifying eight specific games he projects them to win: home vs. Seattle (Week 3), vs. Indianapolis in London (Week 4), a sweep of the Giants (Weeks 5 and 10), at Arizona (Week 12), at Tennessee (Week 13), vs. Atlanta (Week 15) and vs. Dallas (Week 18).
