He does this a good bit. He needs to learn to throw that away, those yards add up.

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.

I love a mobile qb. I am nitpicking bc I have defended JD all year but on the example i gave earlier he had given up on the play and just took a 2-3 yd loss when all he had to do was flip it out of bounds.
