Daniels as a true freshman threw 17 touchdowns


How is 17 touchdowns so impressive? In the SEC, that would put him dead last by a very wide margin?

Meanwhile, what about his stats as a three year starter and in which is more years starting than most college QBs get to start of a measly 10 TD passes together with 10 INTs. I mean, the dude has done nothing but steadily regress as a college football QB each and every year.

Anybody who advocates for a piss poor QB as Jayden Daniels has proven himself to be over a three year period already to be named the starter at LSU in 2022 needs to get his head examined. Either that or they are a racist.

He obviously thought winning the starting job at LSU would be a cake walk, which is why he contacted Brian Kelly about playing for LSU. As he saw all he had to do was beat out a red shirt freshman and a perpetual statue in the pocket and the job would be his or so he thought.

However, he never anticipated that red shirt freshman was exponentially far better and far more talented than he is.

Why? Jayden is going to be one and done. Before his disaster of year he was top five QB's for the draft. He still would have been a day three pick if he would have went to the draft last year.

Do you realize what you’re saying here, he regressed.

If Nuss can’t beat Daniels for the job it doesn’t matter if he enters the portal because Howard is going through take over almost certainly next season. This is probably a one year job unless Nuss proves to be really good.


Not going to happen buddy. Nuss is not only going to win the starting job in 2022, but he will retain the starting job for the 2023 and 2024 seasons. Then subsequently it will be Howard's job for the next two seasons.

Daniels threw a whooping 10 TD’s last year, I’m impressed.


How many times did he score in the red zone in last Thursday's fall scrimmage? Oh that's right, he couldn't score in the red zone.

And you are impressed with that? Seek mental help bud.

I don’t know where this guy is getting that Daniels would’ve been a top 5 QB in the 2021 draft but here are the actual top 5. The top 3 overall picks were QBs, Lawrence, Wilson and Lance. The next 2 taken were Justin Fields and Mac Jones. There’s absolutely zero chance Jayden Daniels would’ve been among this group.

He meant the ‘22 draft. Daniels wasn’t eligible for the ‘21 draft.

I'd rather see a John Emery run or a Boutte quick slant before a Daniels run


Personally I don't care who is running as long as they get into the endzone. I trust the staff to figure out the most efficient way to get that done and really I don't any say in the matter so I'm not going to worry about it too much.

I would too, but that statue, for all intents and purposes, is already out of the running. So that's a mute point.

Max Johnson threw for 27 TD behind a bad OLine and no running game

My thing is….if he’s the best play him!!! But don’t be afraid to run him if you know you have a capable qb behind him.

Do you think Ole Miss fans said this last year with Matt Corral? Tell me you wouldn't take Matt Corral's production in a heart beat, their stats are not that dissimilar.

According to reports Jayden was much more accurate Thursday and went 10-12 In 11 on 11 action so yeah he may have improved a bit


You're obviously getting your stats from the biggest Jayden Daniels fanatic on the Internet.

Nonetheless, Jayden Daniels couldn't score a TD in the red zone even if his life depended on it. Why is that not covered by your stats? Do you think BK will name someone who is unable to score in the red zone the starter?

Moreover, most of his passes were for dinks and dunks.

And Daniels threw for 17 and 2 the last time he had competent pass catchers. Cant be understated how much better of a situation he is walking into.

BK will go with whom he trust to protect the ball the most. He'll also remove a guy who is having those issues.

If Jayden is the man, I trust in Kelly. If he's not, I trust in Kelly. I would hope fans would do the same.

How is 17 TD good with good recievers?
A little over a TD a game?
Im sure our recievers will love to hear that..

I Keep telling people we won't look like the offense they think we will look like.
We will be run first with Jayden Daniels at QB.
