re: That number 8 guy on the Ravens reminds me of JD5 only

Lamar is more athletic and shifty than Daniels. He’s also faster and a little bigger. Lamar had more rushing yards and rushing TDs in his 3 years of college than Daniels had in 5 years.
Daniels is very risk adverse and has less turnovers than Lamar did in college.
I think the better comp for Daniels is RGIII. Similar size and both similar completion percentages (67% and 66%) coming out of college.
Lamar is a freak athlete who doesn’t really have a current contemporary. Kind of like a Vick or Cam Newton. He’s very lucky to have been drafted by a team that built an offense around him and was patient with him. After his first year, I really didn’t think he would make it as an NFL QB. He was really bad, but he’s become really really good.
My only concern about Daniels is wondering if he will regress once he gets to the NFL. He was bad for 3 1/2 years, had a good end to the 2022 season, had a really bad game against FSU, then killed it the rest of the season. You can draw the comparison to Burrow, but Burrow elevated the rest of the team in a way that Daniels did not IMO.
When it comes down to it, nobody knows what QBs will work out and which ones won’t. Daniels has a chance, but is far from a sure thing.
I don’t want to trade up for a QB. We have other needs and need infusion of youth and talent. This draft will have some good players going well into the late part of the first round. If there was ever a year to trade down and get more picks, this is the year.
As for Bo Nix, I stand by my statement that nobody know if a QB will work out or not. But if I had to bet, I’d say Nix ends up as a journeyman QB.

Your point about the ravens building an offense for Lamar is a good one. I think the same and be said for almost every qb entering the league with the physical tools to make it. I don't think Bo is much different than hurts, and hurts has succeeded so far. If Bo is with a coach that uses his legs, i wouldn't count him out
