I think people are concerned that his inability to hit open WRs down field will inhibit the offense against better defenses. Their inability to acknowledge he's our best option at QB and doing everything the coaches are asking of him, is a different issue.



I am curious as to what better defenses you expect to see. Does TENN and Florida look like exceptional defenses to you? Arkansas? Ole Miss? (Tulsa scored 27 on them). Does Auburn, next week's opponent look like an exceptional defense.

My view, all of the above are average to below average defenses.

Bama yes. But ok, they are Bama under Nick Saban. Aggies look like a very good defense.

Daniels is getting better coaching than he did at ASU and has more playmakers to work with here at LSU than he had at ASU (he only had good ones his Freshman year at ASU). No offense to Herm Edwards at ASU but he was run, play action old school type offense. Not sure how much development Daniels got under Coach Herm, who I like, but Herm's offenses looked like a slightly better version than Les Miles offenses.

And lots not forget because of the COVID-19 policies in the PAC12, the development of players in that league in my view was really impacted by the lock out from training and weight room facilities from like March 2020 till what amounts to late September 2020 and then the PAC12 had minimal games that year.

Alabama, Tennessee, Ole Miss, and A&M have better defenses than anyone we've played yet.

I question if Daniel's upside out of high school was so good that what he did at ASU was simply a continuation of what he was doing in high school. It was a very good match of skills to system his first year there. As surrounding talent started to wane, his numbers did the same.

I noticed a few passes over the middle last night that I don't recall seeing in his first three games. They were into tight quarters and on the money being caught in stride. Bech had one and Jenkins had at least two. While UNM may not be the level of defense seen at the very top of the SEC, those skills appear to be getting polished as he has more time with this coaching staff.
