Early in the game he ran towards the bama sideline and instead of throwing it away he took a 2 yard sack..
He does this a good bit. He needs to learn to throw that away, those yards add up.
If he is just running out of bounds and not trying to cut it up field, he needs to know where the sticks are.

IMO, this is short sighted and an extension of just wanting a QB to stand in the pocket. When you have a guy with Daniels’ speed, you play to his strengths.
He’s gaining more yards on scrambles than he’s losing to sacks. If he throws it away it’s 100% a wasted down. If he tries to scramble he might lose 2 yards but he also might gain 12.
There are certainly situations where you don’t want a negative play no matter what. But in most cases he needs to beat one guy in order to gain positive yardage. When that happens I’d generally rather him take a chance on losing 2 yards knowing that if he beats that guy he’ll gain 5+ than have him just throw it out of bounds. I don’t think we win against Bama if he doesn’t take those chances.

Jayden Daniels thought process is this:
Throw the ball away for no yardage or risk a -1 or -2 yard sack while trying to break a tackle. If I break the tackle worse case I will stumble forward, best case I'll break off 10-25 yds before the safetys can help. It's almost as if I'm averaging 80-100yds per game doing this whole only taking 5-20 sack yards per game... Hmmmmmmmmm....
