Paul Finebaum Comments On LSU Landing ASU Transfer QB Jayden Daniels

by Staff Reporter

March 7, 202231 Comments

ESPN's Paul Finebaum was on the "McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning" show on Monday and commented on new LSU transfer quarterback Jayden Daniels and what he means for coach Brian Kelly. Per The Spun:

quote:
“I think it is a very big story,” Finebaum said on WJOX out of Alabama. “Is this going to be a transformational moment for Brian Kelly? This guy is a really good quarterback. You guys all know that. But is that all they need? Joe Burrow played two years there and he also had a cast around him that was spectacular. I don’t think LSU does. But I think it was smart. I think Brian Kelly probably doesn’t know what he has, but this guy is probably better than everyone who has migrated.”

"Migrated"? Interesting use of this word when everyone else is using transferred.

Timeoday•38 months

Did Paul say "migrated" because the kid is brown skinned or is Paul just trolling?

HoustonGumbeauxGuy•38 months

I think he meant to say "matriculated".

BayouFann•38 months

Lol. Paul is a media color guy. He speaks figuraliterally. No big deal here

texastigerr•38 months

Brian Kelly doesn't know what he has but Paul Finebaum does. Ok, Paul. Guess Kelly recruited a kid he knows nothing about.

jlnoles79•38 months

I'm sure Paul has been breaking down his film

Vidic•38 months

“This guy is a really good quarterback. You guys all know that.” More proof Finebaum is retarded and doesn’t actually watch college football

Vidic•38 months

2380 yards, 10 TD 10 INT is a “Really good quarterback” pawwwwwl

Ironhead985•38 months

I love how guys who obviously haven’t watched a lick of film on a prospect, go exclusively off of stats. No context whatsoever. Go watch the team he played for and tell me what you think Brennan’s stat line on that team would have been.

Dflynn9687•38 months

He also had 700 yards rushing and 6 rush touchdowns ?????

Tigerpride18•38 months

What about his freshman year when he had 17tds and 2 ints?

Geaux Guy•38 months

He's no Myles Brennan but will be great when/if Myles goes down. Nuss's dad will probably have him sit out some more, so we can't count on him. Walker will learn a lot under these guys...

HubbaBubba•38 months

Nuss could end up being odd man out and if so will probably move through the portal to Oklahoma, Georgia, Texas or Aggie.

Enjuhnear•38 months

Yea Daniels is no Myles Brennan. He has managed to stay healthy and start 29 games despite only weighing 183 pounds.

jpcajun•38 months

"I think Brian Kelly probably doesn’t know what he has..." but Paul Finebaum does?!? BK is a championship caliber coach who has years of experience.... of course he knows what he exactly has!

saintlad74•38 months

If Alabama picked him up, Paul FineBUM would be talking Heisman next year

OchoDedos•38 months

Pawl...Pawl...Pawl...Pawl...LET ME TAWK PAWL!!...Pawl...Pawl...Pawl...ARE YOU THERE PAWL!!

HoustonGumbeauxGuy•38 months

Does he also play baseball?

WhyMan•38 months

Frick that dick with ears!

FATBOY TIGER•38 months

They look like catchermitts

bluebuck1•38 months

Brian Kelly knows an elite dual threat QB can destabilize most most BAMA and stout SEC defenses.

Tigerpride18•38 months

Have y’all ever noticed that he never says anything about a teams offense or defense, he just says vague shite like, “I think they will do it”

JakeFromStateFarm•38 months

For someone who has covered football for as long as he has, Paul really is clueless about the sport.

Tigah n T-town•38 months

Yeah cause Boutte and Bech suck and Emery is a terrible RB. Sure Pawl...hes got no cast around him at all

Robber DeNiro•38 months

All this tells me is 1 quarterback is leaving.

ThunderTiger•38 months

I was just thinking that when I read your statement.

csmit72•38 months

Just watched a bunch of his highlights and the guy has game for sure. Think asu has just been a dumpster fire for two years

CeasarA291•38 months

I find it difficult to care about Paul Finebaum's opinion on anything.

jrowla2•38 months

he's right in the sense that we have had a lot of departures and do need to reload. He's potentially a great piece.

LSU_Legz•38 months

I find it hilarious that the same folks who were wanting to go down on CJJ before the first game saying we were going to win it all are the same folks complaining about how much we suck and how overrated we are.

Sir, this is a Wendy's.
