re: Jayden Daniels did better than most players wearing a Tiger Uniform yesterday

Only poor throw I remember him making was the one to Bryan Thomas.

Then you missed most of the game.

Even accounting for drops, he was on target for only 60 percent of his passes.

The guy on the other side had his receivers drop more passes and still completed 74 percent. Without the drops, he would have been over 80 percent.

Of course, it's hard to throw really wild passes when you almost never throw more than 10 yards downfield.

That is Daniels' Achilles heel: he simply will not challenge a defense deep. He will not throw a ball unless the WR has at least 2 yards of separation.

Oh, and he STILL, in his 5th year, stares down his primary receiver. On his INT, he never looked any other direction than toward Nabers.

Even if Denbrock calls aggressive plays, JD limits the results by not going deep unless the WR is wide arse open. That's how you get things like a 2 yard throw on 4th and 8.

He is the governor on our NASCAR engine.
