The Daniels eval is interesting, because it talks about his abilities to read defenses and push the ball downfield. Not sure what happened if that evaluation from 5 years ago is accurate.


He has a better arm than ranters generally give him credit for, he just doesn't use it. And I don't think his reads are the issue, it's his willingness to trust his receivers and how quickly he actually decides to pull the trigger. Just my opinion though.

I agree completely. I think he can see where to go with the ball. There's just a hesitancy to trust it right away...which then allows the receiver to be covered up again and forces him off that read. One of the better examples (IMO) of this was the TD pass to Brian Thomas in the Florida game. Thomas is one-on-one on the outside. Daniels sees it quickly. He looks like he's about to let it go...then he pumps/hesitates for a split second to make certain it is there before then throwing it. Thomas had his guy beat early. The throw was a bit behind Thomas who made a play to come back and get it. But the throw was there right away and there was a tick of hesitation.
