If Jayden Daniels declares we need to draft him.
This forum is amazing. Look at my reactions as the OP compared to yours. We both said we would take him in the second round and I get no likes 🤷🏾♂️
Anyway, I like your take!
I think it's for three reasons...
-Your title comes off a little too strong and cliche. We been through this "We need to draft this player" a million times over.
We recently also had a super persistent user trying to shove Mac Jones down our throat as the greatest QB prospect of all time. He wasn't. We all knew he wasn't. He was extremely argumentive over it. So, people here are very turned off by these bold declaration.
- People always want a flashy elite prospects and those people that reacted to you never saw my post.
-lastly, I try to be objective and breakdown a QB their pros and cons. I try to sell on potential, but not be misleading on how great he could be... I just examine the talent. Figure out his ceiling and try to gauge the best outcome for him. I don't try to compare him to other players. I explain his style and skillset and elaborate on his faults.
I still don't have a full grasp on his floor to ceiling ratio. He keeps flashing high ceiling potential, but I'm not exactly sure if it's simply a flash or an elite ceiling just yet.
To further elaborate, JD has a great fundamental aspects to his game. He doesn't like throwing bad or risky passes. He's very smart at avoiding bad passes.
He's really continuity dependent with his WRs and offense. He just keeps getting better every week it seems. So, he'll continue to get better with more reps. Which maybe make him extremely talent dependent on WR. Some elite QB can just pass to anyone like Bryce Young. JD isn't anywhere to close to being that type of QB and may never will be. Much like a Matt Ryan. Matt Ryan is nothing without elite WR and Oline talent
JD is rapidly improving with every rep in the offense and he's really consistent. You put him into a system for 5-6 years. He may become that guy that can pass to any WR.
He has a cool temperament, but he does needs to avoid sacks better and throw the ball away.
