It's QB until Daniels proves he can move the ball vertically with consistency, and I think he'll be just fine at that.

ETA: I'm really tired of some of you people not reading this part:

The offensive line is a huge positive.

The TE's are probably the best we've had.

There is an excellent #1 WR and a whole lot of talent behind him.

We have twice as many RB's as we had last year and 6 are solid veterans.

Daniels issues putting the ball downfield were well documented last season, so until we see him willing to throw some contested balls, QB is the relatively weak link.

And I think he'll be just fine.

Daniels was inconsistent last year. I dont think thats debatable. But it was his first year in the SEC and his first year in a new offense. The thing with Daniels is that when he was good, he was at times electric. He’s bigger, stronger and has a year behind him.

What’s interesting is that Daniels is that he is much more highly thought of by other team fans than he is with many LSU fans. He is the Athlon first team all SEC preseason qb.

It’s hard for me to pick QB as the relative weakness on this team when we have who many consider to be the best qb in the SEC.

I’m personally very high on Daniels this year, not that that means anything. He is an elite runner outside of the pocket. He’s got a good o-line and NFL potential receivers. Give him a running game and this could be a very good offense.

Kelly has really rebuilt this offense in a short time.

Not sure why you got so many downvotes, but this is the answer. The O line is stout, receivers are good, TEs look good, RB should be solid, aided by the OL. QB is the question mark. If Daniels can throw the ball downfield consistently, it will be a fun year.

Who did you cast your vote for in the ALL SEC team this year, because it’s obvious you didn’t help make the odds for Heisman bets which JD5 has the 3rd best odds, some of you are just insufferable miserable pessimists

You got all those RB’s AND Daniels who is electric when he runs. Hard to argue its as a soft spot for sure.

We literally have one tightend with actual sec experience and yet people still think the QB is the weakness.
