From the episode

Jaden fell off a little last year. So he's coming back off an injury, tough defense, like specific to this situation. I think it's totally like fine in that scenario to take like a Stafford over Daniel.

Daniels faces injury recovery and tough defense; consider safer QB options in Week 1.

Jaden Daniels fell off a little last year and is coming back off an injury facing a tough defense in Week 1; the source suggests defaulting to other top-five quarterback options with leg mobility upside over Daniels in this specific matchup, noting that Matthew Stafford likely would have outscored him even if Daniels had stayed healthy all last year.
