Remember when people were complaining we wouldn't be top 10?

Anyone that thinks lsu can’t recruit a top end class anymore is an imbecile. And we have had a lot of imbeciles on this board recently.

A summer tradition like any other

It’s amazing how consistently wrong about lsu recruiting that people like the poster Oktiger are and the same ones repeat their stupidity year in year out.

idiots and SECr alters.

that's your malcontents.

Agreed. Their talking point about Daniels was that he had hit his ceiling and wouldn’t develop anymore. How could our coaches possibly improve someone who had started for two years? Therefore, go with Nuss. LOL!!

Ill gladly eat my crow on Daniels, I said he should be on a short leash at the beginning of the year. It wasnt some hot take that a 5th year starter had possibly hit his ceiling. What he is doing this year is almost unheard of at any level of football, as I cant recall any player that had started that many games improve as much as he has.

Liucci said he's getting another year unless they would really fall apart
He said even at 7-5 he thinks he gets one more shot

Hard to imagine they don't let him come back with their goat class and Weigman back healthy. Not a good look to start all over the year Texas and Oklahoma enter the SEC.

Did any of those start 4 years prior to that jump Daniels has had this year? No.

Pickett is closest after 3 years (not 4 like I said) of starting he made a good jump but not a Daniels jump.
2018 6.4 ypa 58.1% completion 120.3 rate
2019 6.6 ypa 61.6% comp 122.4 qb rate
2020 7.3 ypa 61.1% 129.6 qb rate
2021 8.7 ypa 67.2% 165 qb rate
Between 21 and 22 +1.4 ypa +6% comp + 36 qbr

Hooker went on fire after 2 years of starting and immediately when he transferred to Tennessee. His 2021 season 31 tds 3 int, ypa and qbr higher than his 2022 season before his injury 11 games in.

Daniels
2019 8.7 ypa 60.7% 149.2 qbr
2020 8.3 ypa 58 3% 145.7 qbr
2021 7.9 ypa 65.4% 136.2 qbr
2022 7.5 ypa 68.6% 144.5 qbr
2023 11.0 ypa 73.1% 197.7 qbr
Between 22 and 23 +3.5ypa +4.5% comp +53.5 qbr.
After Daniels 1st year at LSU all his stats seemed similar to years prior. Daniels jump in not only ypa and qbr is just down right amazing and I dont think anyone predicted that.

You can say noone predicted Burrow either but he only started 1 season prior not 4 like my point was. Burrow took the world by storm because of how much he improved but Daniels statistically speaking is on pace with him. He's on pace for 63 total tds if hed play 15 games like Burrow did, thats only 2 less tds than Burrow. Not even Daniels biggest fans predicted that.

Why are you even bringing up basketball? Totally different sport with different draft rules make it comparing apples to oranges.

So now we are discussing how big of a jump he made? The point is old college guys make big jumps all the time. It’s kind of what happens when guys stay in school a long time.
