Has Jayden Daniels risen past JR to #2 LSU QB of all time?

And save me the "one year" stuff. Burrow had one amazing year and he's the undisputed GOAT. JR had one amazing year and he was the GOAT before Burrow.
Through 9 games, 69.8% completion rate @ 7.4 ypa. 1994 yards passing, 14/1 TD:INT. 148.8 rating. 619 yards rushing with 10 TDs
2006 JR was: 67.8% completion rate @ 9.1 ypa, 3129, 28/8. 142 yards rushing w 1 TD. 167.0 rating.
The rushing gives Daniels an edge, but JR has an insane ypa that year which makes a big difference in their respective ratings. JR was also the best QB in CFB in 2006, also (frick Troy Smith). The rushing is going to be the area where the discussion trends, I reckon.
ETA: Respect your overlord Jayden Daniels

JD is a cross between Mettenberger and Herb Tyler. And I love it!

Gotta see how the next 3 to 4 games plays out
This game made him a legend. If he wins an SEC title, and goes to the CFP, he’s an all time great Tiger
It’s all in front of us

He's already a legend for last night.
But I don't think he's passed Rohan Davey yet.

If you mean just this century maybe

I’m all in on Daniels, but man I don’t know if I can put him over JR yet. I know he fell out of favor with many for his NFL bust status and Bama Boy stuff but in BR the guy was incredible. I’ll always love that run.
This game and Jayden will go down in history, but JR led this team to 10-1 and the SECCG post Katrina with the huge win in Tuscaloosa and obviously the ASU win.
That 06 team missed out on greatness but he was still unstoppable every game other than UF and Auburn. Arizona, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, and obviously Notre Dame taking us to the Sugar and #3 final ranking I just don’t think anyone other than Burrow has that resume.
Yet.
Jayden has several more games this year and if he continues this trajectory next year hell yeah he’ll jump JR.
But not yet. Yet

He’s the modern day Randall Cunningham

Y. A. Tittle.

I'll say this, his skill set is unmatched, period. The best dual threat, EVER at LSU.
Posted on 11/6/22 at 8:42 am to SlowFlowPro
He doesn't light it up throwing the ball first. So I'd say a hard no.
Have to ask yourself, does his game translate well into the pro level? No
Becoming a good college qb though that's to his legs. Passing is just way too inconsistent

Is the scheme still outdated and shitty or nah?
Posted on 11/6/22 at 8:55 am to SlowFlowPro
I’d take a lot of guys over Jamarcus.
Hodson, Bert Jones, probably Flynn and Rohan too. JR was talented but lazy. He was a roller coaster qb- make a terrible mistake then follow it up with an amazing throw to bail himself out. Give me consistency.

At the end of the season, I'd feel more comfortable saying it because of how he plays the game. I've been in his corner all season, but JR was a beast. What I'd say is that for all of the shite people talk about Jayden Daniels, the dude's been playing his arse off to win these games and is really efficient.
He plays another year, and he'll be a Heisman candidate and LSU is going to be scary.

I kinda hate using stats as the offense that is run today is more pass happy with safer throws. Watching them play in person I'd still give the edge to JR but Daniel's is on one hell of a run right now.

These comparisons are so silly. NO he aint one of the greatest of all time.
Do yourself a favor and by a few books on the history of LSU football. Good Grief!

I'm amazed by how long a discussion can go on about great LSU quarterbacks before Bert Jones is mentioned. He is the true second best LSU quarterback, and it's not even close.
Posted on 11/6/22 at 9:09 am to SlowFlowPro
I don't have JR as the goat before Burrow.
How about the ones who had NFL careers?
How about those who won Natties?
I still have Rohan Davey over JR.

I agree. The rushing gives Daniels the edge.
