This is how NFL Scouts see Jayden Daniels...

Can’t wait to find out

I’m going to call my shot and say he’ll be the 2nd best QB we’ve had when it’s all said and done.

He could be a great transfer for us. He could start this year and win a lot of games. He could contribute this year and start next year and win a lot of games. He could sit behind Brennan this year and Nuss next year and be an excellent backup that just never got a start, but this has got to stop:

quote:

---

Can anyone name the last Graduate Transfer that came to LSU with two years of eligibility remaining? Joe Burrow.

---

He could be one of the best transfers we've ever gotten and still not be anywhere near as good as Burrow.

He has not proven anything.

Depending on how he is utilized, he could add a much needed dimension.

Dayum ain’t like he the next Michael Vick

32 TDs in 29 games, about 200 yards per game, 1 season with a completion% over 60 and a passer rating in the low 140s. Plus his play has declined from that incredibly overrated freshman year, nowhere else are you gonna see people pimping 17TDs in modern major college football. Maybe the greatness is just bubbling beneath the surface but he’s been a below average player so far.

You have lost your mind if you think Daniel’s is even in the same stratosphere as Burrow!

quote:

---

Daniels is superior to Lance in every way.

I can’t tell if this is a compliment. Lance is terrible and it’s not hard to be a superior player

There were people, during his mediocre 2021 season, still clamoring and expecting him to be a 4th round draft pick if he declared for the 2022 draft, and a 5th round pick at worst (this is a 3rd year junior remember that).

I watched a guy that was a reporter from ASU media say the exact opposite of the second quote in OP, and it felt like he did everything he could to denounce his passing potential. Basically calling the kid dumb and unwilling to learn and adapt to the 2nd OC coach they brought in (in the nicest way possible). Remember the ridiculous hype fans and media put on Max Johnson before last season with some media people and fans thinking he could become the next Joe Burrow and others saying he has the "it" factor. They were all praising him and most pretty much just called Brennan shite. Those outside of the LSU bubble thought different though.

This season you got a guy coming in and those same people now think Brennan, who hasn't played a game or practiced full contact in damn near 2 seasons is somehow better and has a lead over a guy who has played the last 3 seasons, ran over 300 times in 2.3 years without injury, and has possibly the 2nd most college starting experience in the SEC now at QB. Do people not realize that Brennan has thrown a live game football to only one LSU WR that is still on roster? That we have an entire new coaching staff that has a history of utilizing dual threat QBs? That Denbrock was not hired before they brought Brennan back? Look at the commitment of Daniels to LSU. There was "hey, he might be interested in LSU", then a couple days later, "here he comes, and he's going to be here by the start of spring practice". Yall really don't think they actively pursued this kid once he hit the portal? They let all these other transfer QBs just walk on by.

See those guys still talking about him in a good way look at the potential if he was on a competent team with competent coaching and talent around him. People do realize we have a guy whose only job is to be the QB coach right? Do people not realize what Burrow did with his coaches to help him from year one to year two? Go look at Kenny Pickett with 4 years of miserable stats, and then 2021.

I said all that to say, so many people look at 10 TD 10 int and that he runs a lot so he must be a RB playing QB, and leaves it at that. Surface level bullshite and they put nothing into context or thought around why and how that came to be. They can't even fathom potential going from a shite situation to a good one. Can't fathom dual threat abilities over a statue in the modern game. Dude is a grad transfer. Attach Sloan and an assistant to his hip and watch the magic in the fall.
