And, yet, you want to ignore his superior rushing contributions in the comparison to Bennett. That’s the part with which I disagree. You didn’t “strike a nerve”.

I didn’t ignore anything, scooter. I was talking about him improving as a passer. You continuing to bring up his rushing has nothing to do with anything I was discussing.

As a passer, he’s been average. He’s going to have to be better than average for LSU to win any titles or make the playoffs, which I’ve already said.

Yes, well, when you said Bennett was more productive than Daniels you did not qualify it by saying AS A PASSER. If you agree that their overall production isn’t that dissimilar, then we’re good. If you don’t agree with that statement, then you are ignoring Daniels’ rushing contributions.

As to whether Daniels must become more productive solely as a passer, I don’t think there’s any evidence a team has to have a specific level of passing yards to compete. Bennett was a game manager in 2021. Hurts got Bama to the championship game before giving way to Tua passing for only 149 yards a game in 2017. Ohio St had 247 yards pass per game in 2014 and Alabama only 227 per game in 2015 (and 218 or less in 2009, 2011 and 2012). Cam Newton only passed for 204 per game on 2010.
