re: Matt Hayes: Jayden Daniels is LSU's QB1, and it's not close

Progression is not showing a spike then going back to bad. It is maintaining that progression. Hell, he regressed against worse teams not because he faced tougher teams.

This just isnt true. He definitely progressed as a passer from where he was in the first half of the FSU game (as did the o-line which is very important but is a different conversation).

Daniels problem is he is a streaky passer. It wasn't a peak and a fall, he was up and down all year. He also played great in the biggest game of the season (Bama) and was throwing the ball well against UGA before getting injured.

In my opinion our best option going forward is Nuss or Howard, but I realize we run the risk of regressing next year until they get a decent amount of game experience.

The biggest fallacy on here is the argument that this is an easy, obvious choice for "their guy".
