The one hesitancy I'd have with Daniels is his hesitancy. He doesn't throw may interceptions. Which is GREAT. But he also choses to not make throws and just tuck an run probably more often than NFL teams would like. He's not going to be able to run for 150 yards per game in the NFL. And with the game speed faster and the windows tighter his decision making has to be quicker.

He improved significantly in that respect this season. But there were still some times he probably had guys open and he chose to be a bit more hesitant and hold the ball.

Obviously he can escape the pocket. His accuracy, even last year, is very good (he doesn't miss guys very often). His arm strength is good enough. Can he consistently make the split-second decisions a great QB is required to make time and time again in the NFL? The great QBs often know where they are going with the ball before it is snapped or see the windows opening before they actually open. Once they see it they let the ball fly without hesitation.

Add arm strength to this list.

You won't beat many NFL teams on 5 yard stop routes or underthrowing a ball more than 30 yards down field.
