QB7 ranking reflects scary 2024 injuries and poor tape; rushing upside remains elite if healthy.

Harris ranks Jayden Daniels QB7 for 2025 after a disastrous 2024 season marked by multiple injuries (knee, hamstring, elbow) and poor tape. While acknowledging his elite running ability and deep-ball accuracy as a rookie, Harris notes the floor is lower than expected due to Cliff Kingsbury's departure from Washington, the team threatening to put Daniels under center more, an untested receiving corps beyond Terry McLaurin, and an unchanged poor offensive line. Harris explicitly resists changing his rank based on positive training camp reports, framing the decision as balancing last year's scary performance against the possibility of returning to form if healthy. A co-host ranks him QB4, citing thousand-yard rushing upside as the key to his appeal—one of the few quarterbacks that could finish as number one QB if healthy—and notes the new offensive coordinator and system shouldn't change the ranking because it comes down to his rushing ability and health. The co-host is more concerned about injury risk, invoking the RG3 comparison and noting that last year people drafted him as a top-three QB with a chance to be number one, but after his injury, he dropped to QB8 or QB9, seeing a range of outcomes that weren't believed possible going into last year.
