Ill also say, again, that Jayden Daniels isn’t a run first quarterback. He uses his legs to keep plays alive and is usually looking to throw downfield, and does so accurately.

I’m sorry sir, I respectfully disagree.
Daniels is a run first QB, pure and simple. He can throw, and can deliver at a high, level. But, most definitely is a run first, 1 read and tuck it QB.
I have said it before, go watch his first season at LSU, super raw passer, uncomfortable in new scheme and therefore trusts his running ability over timing/reading the field. Over his 2 year maturation at LSU he grows as a passer, and in his abilities. Do not mistake that maturation that he is a now a pocket passer going through 3 or 4 deep on the route tree. It’s simply not who he is. Decisive at the point of attack, and 4 out of 5 times it’s 1 read and tuck it.

Have you watched his film from this season? He’s changed so much it’s actually amazing

Yes, I have watched every game at LSU (LSU fan). I do agree, it was amazing to watch his growth. When he played his first game at LSU, (against Florida St), I said to myself, this guy is not a QB, just a great athlete out there, that can’t throw very well.
He certainly became a better passer in terms of both mechanics, and comfort in the system to what eventually earned him the Heisman last year.

My biggest concern with him is his frame.. He's so damn skinny. Like a Bryce Young but taller..

Yes, he’s listed at 210, but almost certainly inflated. I’m not sure he’s even over 200. Of course, as it’s been said before, with weight training and nutrition he could put on some bulk. He will most certainly need it with his style of play and hopefully will receive major upgrades to the offensive line to protect him.

I think Daniels has such amazing speed and run capabilities that it would appear he is not going through his progressions but he does, Even while he is moving. Run first to me is a guy that trusts his legs more than his arm and field vision. This guy has it all.

I will be fine with any of the three though.
