Jayden Daniels Spring Game Narrative

Let’s start off by being honest with ourselves. We’re all idiots on this board. And the idiots united after seeing Daniels at the spring game pulling the ball and running on a lot of his pass attempts.

One thing I think people need to realize is that he had around a month from getting on campus to the spring game. It’s just not enough time to be able to firmly grasp a new playbook. As a result, I think in the spring game he just relied more on his athletic ability as he didn’t feel comfortable with the plays or his reads.

I would be fine with either Nuss or Daniels starting at QB, but I do think a lot of people are making judgements on Daniels from an extremely small sample size where he had a month to get the playbook down and saying that’s who he is. I haven’t watched every game he played but I’ve seen some highlight throws he’s made that are really impressive.

As another post said the other day. Maybe Daniels is just a damn good QB who’s showing out with better talent and coaching around him.
