Remember all those people who said Daniels was a "lackluster" heisman winner?

I'm not talking about LSU fans, but people nationally. You can really tell that none of those people actually watched us play because Daniels dismantled every team we played and made it look easy. Now he's doing the same thing at the next level. "Lackluster" my arse.......

I saw quite a few people saying that he was stat padding and that he was the worst heisman winner in a long time. It wasn't the prevailing opinion but a shocking number of people were saying that.

i remember in the UCLA game the announcers got on that exact subject. They were at a few LSU games during the season and said it was freaking insane how NOBODY in national media was talking about the crazy insane games Daniels was having week after week. I mean both of them seem super excited when talking about it.

Yeah, I only really remember U-Dub fans complaining online about Jayden. Not even many Oregon fans were bothered.

West coast media wanted him but the best player was obvious. We had Nabers, Thomas and Daniels then not much but still had a decent season. He made that happen. Odd that all those D linemen got drafted when our defensive unit was putrid

You have a lot of internal thoughts that is the prevailing opinion over reality apparently

part of the didn't care for JD crew, of course you didn't remember. Lol

Local guys from BR had to post campaigns with all kinds of research from past heismans in comparison to Daniels to get people to understand. Some of those guys were going viral big time because of it.

Different media from across the country was trying to discredit him because of team losses.

It was likely said by a Chicago scout.

Another part of the didn't care for JD crew. Listen, i kept receipts, and i remember names. Some people had to get banned because the way they went after Daniels.

We all saw the national disrespect. It was talked about on this board a lot and all BR media brought it up.

I’m asking you who all of the national media members are that were saying that. Surely you can remember one or two.

Lol I’ve admitted I was wrong about JD so I don’t know what you’re trying to prove with that. I’m simply asking who all of the national media members who said he was lackluster are.

Really I remember people being very critical of the terrible defense costing LSU a national title given the season JD was having

Daniels was very deserving and obviously proved tonight how talented he is.

It is also fair to say that his stats last year were off the charts partially because our defense sucked and he had to be incredible every game.

The flip side is, he was incredible every game.

I recall that a lot of LSU fans were critical of him and constantly asking for Nuss. No one will probably admit that now though.

As I recall, you admitted that pretty early last season, well before the Heisman talk ramped up.

I would like to know that too. Much of the national media tried to pump up Nix, Penix, or Williams just to pretend it was a race. I feel like that was abandoned in favor of pumping Williams as the future #1 pick when it became pretty obvious it was gonna be JD.

I saw more national guys saying it would be a sham if JD did not win than I saw pumping any other player or suggesting it was only because of a lackluster QB year.
