re: JD’s Current Pace Through a 12 Game Season

2 straight incompletions vs Arkansas and the board will be overrun by the Nuss Buss.

It happened yesterday on one of the long passes to Nabers. Daniels was 20/21 (the 1 incompletion being a throwaway) for like 205 yards and 2 TDs over 4 drives up to that point. Then he throws a 48 yard pass to Nabers, that went probably 55+ in the air, with a safety over the top, and Nabers has to slow down a little to catch it.

Immediately it’s “another ball that would be a touchdown if JD didn’t underthrow it!” Someone posted “noodle arm” in the game thread. SMD came out of hibernation and said “Wide open underthrow. Heisman.”

It’s unreal. He had an absolutely phenomenal game and it’s obviously ridiculous to expect that type of performance consistently from Daniels moving forward, but you still have people saying “if he can continue to play like that, then he’s good.” That’s basically saying “if he puts up Burrow 2019 numbers, I’ll be satisfied with QB play.”

The next time he goes something like 20/30 with 240 yards & 2 TDs the same people will be saying “I TOLD YOU HE WASN’T CONSISTENT.” “ARE WE GIVING HIN THE HEISMAN YET?”
