re: I get what BK was saying. Re; Daniels

He was the same guy at asu. late decision making, average passer at best. Its time to prepare for next year. play Howard and let him get some experience.

He threw for 300 yds with 71% completion and ZERO interceptions.

The fade was picked (tRant's magic bullet 50/50 ball).
Just throw it and our NCAA best WR corp will eat.

Boutte runs into Taylor, yet the announcer blames Daniels.

I agree with most of what you write, but I would question this statement. Danielson stated that the reason Boutte ran into Taylor is because the ball had been snapped and Taylor was backpedaling to block, arguing that Daniels should have waited a tick longer before initiating the play so Boutte could clear the line. If that's the case, then yeah, Daniels was at fault on that particular play.
But I admit I haven't seen a replay, and that might not have been the case.

Can you blame them? You think any of them want Daniels at qb? They have gone through spring and Fall with him. Why do you think Boutee was so dejected. Dudes run wide open half the time only to look back and see him tucking it. Same at ASsu. I don't think many of us expect to win, but we now are so one dimensional teams now have the blueprint. About to get real ugly. Daniels can't pass down the field...period. give the strong armed freshman reps with the 1's...or maybe Kelly doesn't want to be second guessed.

You sure defend Daniels at all cost. Wonder why?

Christ, some of you are miserable.

If/when I and others defend Daniels, it's because people are hysterically blaming him for everything.

Daniels is not great. He's looked better than Nussmeier when they both played in games.

Daniels is not the sole reason we've lost 2 games. The losses are team losses, and a different QB wouldn't have fixed the problems.

We've had disasters trying to return kicks, we've been unable to establish any sort of consistent running game, our preseason All American WR has been MIA, our starting TE seems to catch at around a 50% rate, only Nabers has shown any sort of consistency.
Our defense has improved from game 1, but still seems to get burned a couple times a game. Our secondary is about average (below typical LSU standards), and we seem to have one linebacker (the freshman Perkins) who's good.

This is not a playoff caliber team, we're probably going to be destroyed by Alabama. We look to match up ok with Arky, Fla, A&M, could win or lose vs those. Ole Miss, I suspect trouble, simply because Kiffen knows how to score points.

Kelly is not holding this team back, and Daniels isn't the reason we've lost.

People need to get realistic and hope for 8-4, that would be a great 1st season of a massive rebuild.

Miserable? Dude I'm objective. He can't read a defense presnap, has no idea where pressure is coming. He therefore never knows to go to hot read...even if he could see them. Players are open, but he is looking for 4-5 yards open...ain't happening without a bust. He tucks way too early...and now that defenses are wising up it is worse.

I'm not miserable. Apparently we aren't watching the same progression of our QB. No line will look good with a loaded box because zero down field passing threat. Nuss looked terrible against Southern, trying to press, but you aren't being honest about other times because he looked good against NM and Auburn despite the drops...and he has a higher upside as a freshman...Daniels is what he is now. You guys hate objective. I have no idea whether nuss will ever cut it, still years left to play and young. I do know Daniels won't improve at this point.

You are correct sir with your assessment of JD. If the defense knows you cannot throw the football and only 1 dimensional, they are going to crowd the line with everyone in the box daring you to run. JD is the root cause of our inefficiency on offense.

The quarterback always gets the credit, or blame. Every offensive play goes through the QB.
Who gets mentioned most on our championship teams.
Who gets most of the blame when we fail.
Daniels is not enough of a complete player to carry the team.

You honestly don't know that Daniels is better. If he is worse than daniels then he better quit football because Daniels is not close to a sec qb. I feel bad for him, should have gone wr route. Walker may be the future, I hope, but nuss has all the tools as well, and again, is a freshman...just needs to get real reps. I thought 7-5...that is not happening I don't think...will need an upset to get to 6-6.
