301-2-0-0-0-0-980 your reaction to jaden Daniels being shut down.

Mine is pretty simple.

It's like, yeah, there's a lot to it, and we could nitpick and parse away at what Dan

Quinn said yesterday and then go back and play a lot of what he said last week and before

the Minnesota game.

But it's really not about any of that.

There's no real injury necessarily concern that shutting Jaden Daniels down, in my opinion.

The team is shutting him down because they fear the worst case in the worst case conversation. And that's why we're here.

You know, they didn't shut him down because he's too injured to play football. They shut him

down because they feared that there could be a future conversation where they had to talk about

him being too injured to play football.

That would be the worst case with three games left, a six-day ramp up short week to the first one,

then a quick turnaround to the second one.

And then you're talking about a season finale in which, you know, a lot of teams end up sitting it.

It just wasn't worth the squeeze. The juice wasn't. You know,

all of the other stuff, you know, from before the Minnesota game, what they said,

after the Minnesota game, what they said, he could have come back in. Two days late,

you know, he's just sore a day later on Monday. Two days after that, he's out for the Giants game, and we're not sure

about the future. You knew then. I told you last Wednesday when he was talking. He's done. He's

shut down for the year. We're going to get that news next week. More likely than not, they might

take it another week. They might stretch it out and really play up the injury thing.

Ah, we didn't get them cleared in time.
