Can we at least say that next year Jayden will take a big step.

No.

He has way too many starts to see a major change now.

The reason Joey B made so much progress is he only had one season of starts under his belt before the light went on and he had few bad habits to break.

JD is the way he is because he developed in the athlete-deficient PAC-12. He was able to dominate as an athlete from the QB position.

It's different in the SEC. When a team is able to control his running, he hasn't developed his arm enough to win with it.

Also, he learned to trust his legs more than his teammates. While we saw flashes of what he could become, when the going gets tough he's relies on himself. That works sometimes, but eventually superior coaches and athletes will put a stop to that.

I have seen improvement from Daniel's but he is still scared to throw to one on one receivers and let them make plays. When he has the receivers has made good plays on 50/50 through the season. So why not keep doing it? I don't get it!!! Teams score points because they take those risks!

I hope the future for Daniels is either elsewhere or he goes pro so we can see what Howard can do.
