This point was clearly made in OP.

I think it's more likely to see another Burrow than another Daniels. What JD does with his legs is extremely rare. Not taking away anything from Burrow but with the 2019 defense how many more opportunities would JD get to have the ball?

what Daniels is doing is truly impressive. Most improved player I have ever seen

---

In 2022 Daniels was sacked 43 times, thru 11 games in 2023 only 20 sacks (GA St was the first game this year with 0 sacks). he's close to improving this stat by 50%.

Daniels' RTG in 2022 was 143.9 and his QBR was 77.5. in 2023 so far his RTG is 208.3 (1st in the NCAA) and his QBR is 94.9. drastic improvements. [Nix is 2nd in the NCAA in RTG (passing efficiency) at 191.35]

btw in the 3 losses Daniels' RTG against Fl St this year was 141.5 and his QBR was 71.7. his RTG against Ole Miss this year was 208.3 and his QBR was 94.8. his RTG against Al this year was 158.3 and his QBR was 97.7.

Daniels' yards per completions for 2022 was 10.95 (93rd in the NCAA), yards per completions for 2023 is 16.6 yards (2nd in the NCAA; again drastic improvement) (Nix is 36th at 12.55 ypc)

in passing yards per game Penix is 1st (335.91), Daniels is 2nd (325.18) and Nix is 3rd (321.73)

Daniels is 7th in completion percentage at .726 (Nix is 1st at .781)

Daniels is 21st in the NCAA in rushing with 1014 yards and 1st in yards per carry at 8.18

JB would have been out of last night's game, possibly by the 2nd quarter. Literally inconceivable he would have stayed in until the penultimate possession late in the 4th.

bullshite. Go back and look at how few snaps Brennan actually played in 2019.

They are two very different QBs in two very different seasons. Minimizing either’s accomplishments is stupid.

Good one TP

JD has 2 quality wins. One against Bama at home and one against Mizzou on the road. If he had a defense he would also have a win against Ole Miss and possibly Bama on the road but we'll never know on that one. Point is no one is saying Burrow didn't have a better record but he did have a better defense. There will always be QBs who can read defenses and throw the ball all over the field. Having a couple of NFL receivers makes it a whole lot easier as both Burrow and Daniels have had. What sets JD apart is the running ability. That is what makes JD special. There have been great running QB's that were good throwers and there have been great throwing QB's that have been avg runners. JD in a league of his own right now.

I'm not minimizing anything. I'm saying: Joe Burrow WOULD NOT have played deep in the 4th quarter up 40 in mid-November against a creampuff IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.

ETA: Just look at the TAMU game in 2019. An SEC opponent EVEN LATER in the season, and JB didn't play in the 4th. (LSU was up by 34 when he left the game - as compared to LSU up 28 against GSU.)

Burrow had a clock advantage that Daniels doesn’t have, thus Daniels would have more snaps due to the clock rule changes where the clock stopped more in the past

This seems like a fair point. I'd like to see more numbers on it.

There Will Never Be Another Burrow
Burrow had a clock advantage that Daniels doesn’t have, thus Daniels would have more snaps due to the clock rule changes where the clock stopped more in the past. Burrow was incredible though. If LSU had any kind of defense, JD5 would be a lock for the Heisman and he still may win it anyway.

I contend if they merely had a below average defense instead of possibly the literal worst, not only would the Heisman be a lock, but maybe even a title. Certainly the playoffs would.
