Jayden Daniels has a 'Can't make an interception' problem

At first glance it looks like JD is inaccurate with his over throws down field or his passes that are way out of bounds. Sure he has some throws that are behind receivers. But most of the time he's hitting where he's aiming at.
Daniels has a problem that he is trying to never make an interception. That's great. But it also means that he won't throw into 50/50 coverage or will make throws that no one can catch. People point to 'wide open' receivers, but they still have a defender around them. That's not wide open enough. I don't feel like it's something they can just force him to get over either. Maybe once he gets his first int he'll settle down. But for now we need more short flash open type throws and stop the 4 verts.
Think of him as the opposite issue that YOLO Nuss has. Hard to believe we have 2 qbs that are so opposite with ball control. I think JD could be great once he gets that interception over with. Or really good if we just cater our game plan around his strengths instead.

Somewhat reminds me of Burrow in 2018

It is weird that we seem to have QBs at either end of the spectrum. Either no risk at all or all the risk 
I'd like to see him take a few more chances. We have guys who can go up and get the ball even while covered. Nabers, Brian Thomas, Boutte, even Jaray. All those dudes can go up and get it.

He needs to get out of that. Nabers and Thomas are too good at 50/50 to never get the opportunity.

It really showed on that last touchdown drive. He threw two back shoulder passes out of bounds, giving the receiver no chance to catch it. Then on the 4th down threw that ball to Nabers, keeping it in bounds, and he made a play. He needs to trust his receivers more, especially when the defender isn't looking.

This is because he is inaccurate. There is no other way to sugar coat it at this point.

Not saying you’re completely wrong but he doesn’t seem to have that issue when throwing to Nabers #8. Especially in the 4th quarter. He may just have built the trust with him faster than the other receivers. Almost seems like there’s no chemistry between him and Boutte since we all know 50/50 balls for him are more like 70/30 balls.
And as far as catering an offense to that, I mean what OC doesn’t design plays to try and get their WRs wide open.
To me it just seems like he doesn’t feel comfortable throwing receivers open or trusting that they’ll be open when they make their cuts.
Hopefully more games means more connections and more trust. I don’t get he hate I see from some of the people here though. Is he not seeing open receivers sometimes, yeah but he’s still obviously our best option at QB and to this point he has improved every game. That’s all you can ask when you’re in a rebuild with a transfer QB. I hate comparing anyone to Burrow but there are similarities when it comes to his 2018 year. He was not a tier 1 QB then because he only had a few months to establish himself with his receivers. After a full off-season, his chemistry with receivers was unmatched.

On the flipside, he has not turned the ball over and won two games.

The first pick 6 he throws the rant will be calling for his head. Oh wait, they already are.
Posted on 9/19/22 at 10:16 am to OU812ME2
I like JD. But he just straight up does not see wide open guys.
Like no guys around for 10 yards open.

Tbh Burrow had the same issue in 2018. He was off because he was too cautious that first year until the end of the season. Then came 2019

He completely reminds me of a qb who was coached by Les Miles. Deathly afraid to throw the ball unless they are WIDE open, and even then he’s looking to run.

He won one game, lost another, and won a scrimmage. We're going to need him to be better than he was this weekend if we're going to win some conference games.

Except he’s not. He is completing almost 70 percent of his passes (66 against power 5 schools). I’m not sure why this rant myth exist. Sure he doesn’t anticipate well and doesn’t see open guys and he also leaves the pocket too early at time but when he throws the ball he is usually accurate.

Great points. Agree except
Can we all stop using this word? It’s really overboard.

That last drive was fire. He did everything he could and the kick sealed that one.

hell - even I can see this - it is really alarming when I can notice a QB mistake.

It could be argued that his 3 worst passes were each inside 5 yards of the LOS.
Once or twice to MTaylor and at least another that were little more than swing passes that would have been easy 1st downs.
These throws/plays are staples of offenses from HS through NFL and they don't require any special talent.
Fix the less difficult throws and the downfield ones aren't such a daunting prospect for him.

He needs designed quick throws or rollouts where he can set his feet for just a beat.
At least 2 throws to open guys on Saturday that were bad because he did it running and hopping to get his trunk turned.
Also, some of these zone reads need to be RPO's.
If he sees ends crashing down and safeties backpedaling, take it and hall arse. Easy to read, easy 7-8yds as fast as he is.
If I can see this shite I know Kelly/denbrock/Sloan do too. Over all he's getting better, the line is getting better, New Mexico will be a really good tune up for auburn.
We're not winning anything big but I can see us spoiling the F out of someone else's season.
Maybe 2 or 3 of them.
