Do some of y’all even watch the games? Serious question.
Yes, we watched a talented Sunbelt level Daniels shite it up. Again.

Your post was my exact reason for starting this thread. I don’t think the problem was in the passing game at all…it was in the lack of a running game. We should be able to get one yard any time we want to in any game on any team. We could not.
We lost the game last night because we had virtually no running game.

But see it's not.
His completion percentage is impeccable because he makes little to no throws down the field. He very rarely takes advantage of 1v1 opportunities downfield. He is constantly missing open receivers in lieu of scrambling or throwing a 5 yard dump off.
The announcers even said it during the game yesterday as did Brian Kelly on the sideline on live television when they panned to the sidelines.
Daniels has to start trusting his receivers and his accuracy DOWN THE FIELD. If not, we will get blown out by the top teams consistently.

you are not wrong, however Tennessee was stacking the box to spy Daniels and because they know he won't go down the field.
Naturally they will stop the run because the box is stacked.
You know how you fix that? You tell Daniels to stop playing scared and throw the damn ball down field.
Whether it's run or pass, this LSU offense isn't going outside of the first 5-7 yards of the line of scrimmage on nearly all of their offensive plays.

I honestly haven’t seen anything to make me believe our receivers are anything special. They cannot get separation from coverage and virtually no yards after the catch. This is another problem…

you either do not know football or did not watch the game. which is it>?
it has been explained here ad infinitum exactly why they preyed on short routes AND the run game. READ!

Pretty easy to do throwing 5 yard slants and swing passes all day. Once you keep him from running, the LSU offense is pretty easy to defend. I can’t stand to watch.

Minus 2019 Joe Burrow, name the last LSU QB that could do this?! Mett? This fan base is the definition of spoiled.

You should have a high completion percentage when you only throw for 5 yds at a time. The kid can't read defenses and is scared to push the ball downfield. He's also taking too many sacks by holding onto the ball too long. We don't have a great oline but they're more than capable.

You can’t win games like this lol

You may not have realized it, but the Tennessee pass defense is below average. They gave up the outside short zone...literally gave it up.
We scored 13 points. Daniels missed (didn't see) guys running behind the defense at least 3 times. He missed a wide open TE on the first drive that cost us a first down. He missed a wide open WR 15 yards downfield in the 2nd half while rolling to the right by about 20 yards. He didn't recognize blitz at least 5 times and was caught completely off guard.
71% isn't acceptable. It's elite. It's just doesn't tell the entire story...or even enough of the story to explain what is going on out there.

Don’t waste your time posting data and facts. They won’t be happy until Nuss starts, stinks it up cause he’s not ready and then they can call for the coach’s head for doing exactly what they wanted him to do.

They definitely haven't been as good as we thought, but there are several times throughout every game he is missing wide open receivers.
The bigger issue I have is that when you get 1v1 coverage, you have to trust your receiver to make that catch. If he doesn't, that's not on you.
I actually really like Daniels and appreciate that he doesn't want to turn the ball over, however he has to take shots. It's literally the only part of his game I don't like, he's fear of making a mistake.
Not to bring up the past in Joe Burrow (and certainly not to compare anyone on this roster to him), but that's what made him deadly. He not only trusted his receivers, he salivated for 1v1 matchups no matter how good the opposing corner was.
While Daniels won't have that arm talent, he can match the confidence if he so chooses.

He got a ton of completions late while being blown out.
I’m pretty sure it was higher in the first half
ETA I’m not saying Jayden shouldn’t be better. He needs to take some shots

Wow. I didn't realize it was that bad.

Not in a full season it isn't. Sure, if our entire schedule was as weak as it was in the 1st half. But it isn't.

You don't get it. The main job of the Quarterback is to put points on the board. He's the quarterback, we need to score points. And that's not happening. Can't expect the defense to play lights out every game,

He doesn’t throw 50-50 balls
He can’t or won’t throw a receiver open
He’s a 1 read check down machine
He kills drives by not taking shots
Orvloski said it best during the broadcast… his stat line will look good, but he’s not sustaining drives and not finding the endzone…just nice numbers between 20s.
He also mentioned how it’s incredible how Denbrock can’t get this WR group involved.
