Nah, he was serviceable. Best of an average group.

Jayden Daniels & the offense gave him a much better opportunity to thrive than most offenses would have otherwise,

I don't believe this in the slightest. He was good at Notre Dame and good at LSU. When given volume, he was better and better. I have no idea what happened to where they stopped giving him carries. We heard upper body injuries and everything else including discipline. However that 4 game stretch through 4 SEC teams was damn good. If used the same way, he should have had well over 900 yards before we even got to TAMU. Before the Army game, he was on pace for 1074 yards and 9 TDs in only 11 regular season games.

Whatever happened to him is the reason why Daniels had to ball out of control to finish the season. We were a way below average RB rushing unit when he disappeared. His first 6 games (5 SEC games), he averaged 97 yards a game at 5.9 yards per carry.

I'm good with this; he was okay and solid, but not spectacular. Best comparison might be TDP or Brossette.

Disagree with that.

Both Davis-Price and Brossette had 1k rushing seasons, as did Edwards-Helaire.
Diggs ran for under 700 yds at LSU; part of that is he only played 9 games (started 8), but a bigger issue was that Daniels was a big rushing threat; so we'd call plays for Daniels to specificially run the ball, and also call plays for Daniels to drop back, and take off if he saw a lane. Daniels got 1k yds that way.

The offense under Nussmeier (a much more traditional offense) would benefit Diggs a lot more, as you would call more runs for the backs. Diggs would have been looking at a 1k season this year here.
