You’re trying to paint it like the defense and special teams were the only reasons LSU didn’t win the SEC this year, which is absurd. They held FSU to 24 points. Two wins this year the offense scored 21 and 13 points.
I said that with Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee replacing QBs NEXT year having a better and more consistent defense and special teams would create a CEILING of winning the SEC, not that they would definitely win the SEC and not that they would have won the SEC this year.
They “held” FSU to 24 points because FSU only had 9 possessions. Some of that was the offense having some long drives, but mostly it was because the defense couldn’t get FSU off the field on 3rd down. A normal game is 12-13 possessions. The points per possession were more like a typical game giving up 31-35 points. It was NOT a good defensive outing. That said, you are missing the fact that I combined defense and special teams in my comments. The two muffed punts and 2 blocked kicks were an even bigger contributor to the loss.

Bennett’s “inconsistent” was a hell of a lot more productive than Daniels’. He threw for 1,500 more and 10 more TDs.
Bennett had 289 total yards per game compared to 271 for Daniels and that was with Daniels playing only one quarter against Southern and missing the second half against Georgia. Bennett did account for 37 TDs to 29 for Daniels, but he played an extra game (plus the parts of games Daniels missed noted above). The overall production between the two isn’t as disparate as you are making it out to be.

Are you under the impression that Bennett was playing every minute of every game? Bennett only took snaps in the 4th quarter of 8 games this year.
Stetson Bennett is exactly what LSU fans HOPE Daniels can become. Acting like they are equals, at this point, is more ignorant than acting like the offense was great this year. Bennett averaged 1.5 more yards per attempt and 75 more passings yards per game, and I don’t think you will find anyone who believes their receivers were better than LSU’s. Daniels was good as a weapon last season, but he was average as a passer. In fact, his numbers were more similar to 2009 Jordan Jefferson and 2015 Brandon Harris than they were to Bennett, as a passer.
Daniels is going into his 5th year so the moment definitely isn’t too big for him, but if he’s going to help LSU take the next step he has to be better as a passer and not just a dynamic playmaker with his legs. If he doesn’t improve, LSU will still likely have a good season and win 10 or 11 games, so it’s not like it’s the end of the world.
