re: How did Daniel’s win the job?

Are you that simple minded?

It's exactly like 2008-2009 Jordan Jefferson. The kid is programmed to be overly cautious, and not throw INTs to the exclusion of almost everything else.

Because he was dominant at first until talented teams learned that he will not throw it over the top and they spy him. I don’t understand why there is so much vitriol if you criticize him. The guy can’t make reads, and I mean basic reads, he can run probably better than any qb in college and I think coach Kelly was depending on him being able to win that way but he’s been figured out. Do you all know what Saban will have prepared for him? It’s time to use a two qb system or just let Nuss get his shot. Daniels isn’t going to do it from here out.

I was a huge Daniels guy from the beginning but it’s been bad lately. He has the ability to make defenses play honest and guard the whole field and not just focus on his running and keeping everything 10 yards in, in front of them. I can’t understand it because he has a canon for an arm. His freshman year looked very promising but I can’t figure out what happened.

I keep hoping to see these plays where he lets it rip. If he does change he will upset a team or two that will be a surprise.

Daniels not throwing the football to open receivers... while staring them down... in a clean pocket... multiple times per game..., is flat out mind boggling for a 3 year starter.

It’s getting harder and hard to defend Daniels. The play against UT where he was signaling to the referees for a flag for too many men on the field - not knowing he had to actually snap the ball for a flag to be thrown - was truly remarkable. It’s wild to think that he’s been a starter for 4 years and still didn’t know that rule

You have guys running wide open down the field and a clean pocket and the QB takes off. How bad are the other QBs? I’m sorry but Brennan was a better qb than this. Was the deck just stacked?

We only have limited film from camp, but Daniels looked good and much more confident and under control than anything we’ve seen in practice. I don’t think they are seeing him struggle as badly with the same issues in a controlled setting where he knows what to expect.

Even if this is true, at some point the staff needs to acknowledge that what they seen in practice isn’t matching with reality.

Far from real evidence. Try again. If he really wanted to play, he was more than able to transfer out and play somewhere else. He did not.

And Daniels is,

Brennan saw there was favoritism going on.

Watch Nuss after he transfers, then tell me Daniels was better,idiot.
