re: Jayden Daniels will not drastically increase his draft stock with another CFB season.

Comparing JD to Burrow lmfao

I don't know about Pickett, but Burrow didn't have enough quality starts to show his ability. I had read reports that he was the best QB in camp at Ohio St, but they didn't select him, so he transferred to LSU without a training camp, which set him back most of the year. That's what set him back. Daniels is much more settled than Burrow was. However Daniels improved throughout the year, before slumping a little towards the end. If he manages to perform most of the year the way he did against Alabama, he will definitely improve his stock, and even in next years' QB richer draft, could still get selected in the first round. How he performs against Purdue may be the biggest factor in what he does. If he does great, then he will probably declare for the draft. If he only does okay, then he may have to come back to prove his worth.

Look I don't think he is catching Caleb Williams....with that said I don't think his decision making is that far off. We saw him make great decisions for long stretches this year...then we saw him digress and improve and digress again. That tells me he isn't far off.

I feel like he could certainly improve his stock with a year back. I really think he could move up into the 2-4 range. I mean shite the NFL scouts are surely going to look at Bo Nix's time at Auburn in a normal offense against good competition and see that he was basically trash. I'm interested to see if Nix goes as high as everyone says he might.

The issue for Jayden is he could just as easily hurt his stock. I'm not sure how much that would cost him but I bet it could be a fairly decent amount. To me that is where the decision point lies.

Joe Burrow was a projected 6th round pick going into 2019. Anything can happen.

Everyone knows the biggest leap a player makes is from year 1 to year 2 stared - as was the case with Joe. Daniels has started 3 full seasons already - what makes you believe he will get any better? He is what he is at this point

Lol yes he could absolutely

LOL, Or the exact opposite

The comparison is the ability to make improvement heading into their Senior year.

ASU has proven to be a dumpster fire under Herm (now fired) so I give Daniels the benefit of the doubt on his ability to improve with better coaching.

You’re also the idiot who was telling us that Mettenberger was a better returning QB at LSU compared to Burrow before the 2019 season. So by default, anything you say in regards to QBs should be tossed into the trash.

How about stop taking shots at this kid every opportunity you get and try putting that effort into supporting him and we will see what happens.

Well now you’re just making shite up. I compared a bunch of past QBs numbers to make the point that our offense needed to rely on Burrow and those WRs more than we did in 2018.

Look at the amount of plays both ran in their first year here. Look at the style of offense and run pass ratio. Playing QB is more than stats, there are plenty of QBs with gaudy numbers who were average to below average QBs.

I thought he did pretty well in the first half of the SEC Championship game too.

Did he? He had 4 straight 3 and out drives (or 3 with another resulting in a turnover on the 2nd play) totaling -6 yards in the first half. He was 1/6 for 9 yards with an interception, and a sack on those 4 drives. He had a pretty good start and a decent drive to close the half but was shut down the majority of the 1st half.
