Jayden Daniels or Lamar Jackson?

I see these two as fairly similar.

Jayden Daniels was obviously better passer in a tougher conference with probably lesser receivers.

Lamar Jackson a much better runner.

They both put up similar production though in terms of TD's.

Both won ultimate hardware in CFB.

Lamar Jackson is doing pretty well in the NFL. Jayden I think should surpass him.

I don’t think Jayden has the frame or toughness to run like Lamar in the NFL.

Slow your roll. Lamar is a two-time NFL MVP. First-round QBs are pretty much a crap shoot.

I don't know if JD will be a better NFL QB than Jackson, but there's no question he was a better college QB as a senior in a better conference. Danny Etling put up better stats than Jackson when we played Louisville in the Citrus Bowl.

I would say Lamar. Daniels had multiple first round draft picks to throw to. Lamar didn’t.

Meh, you just look like an idiot with that statement. But I ignored it and gave a non-trolling response.

Umm, LSU has some studs at WR.

I wouldn't say Lamar Jackson is a "much better runner." I'd say he featured running and scrambling more than Daniels did, but they're both fast as lightning and elusive. I've said this time and time again, but I haven't seen SEC safeties consistently take bad angles on a single player like I saw with Daniels this season. He's that fast.

If either player was "much better" than the other in a given area, it's Daniels's passing.

Tough call, but Lamar Jackson did it for 2 years so I give him the nod. Daniels obviously a much better passer.

I don't know about all that, Jackson's best YPC was 6.9 while Daniels was at 8.4

8. Lamar Jackson, Louisville
Years: 2015-17
Stats: 9,043 passing yards, 57% completion rate, 69 TD, 27 INT, 4,132 rushing yards, 50 rushing TD
At the start of the century, Clemson's Woody Dantzler pulled off the first 2,000/1,000 season. Less than two decades later, Jackson was posting back-to-back 3,500/1,500s. He was a solid passer and the most terrifying runner at the QB position since Michael Vick. And that hurdle. Oh, that hurdle.


quote:

19. Jayden Daniels, Arizona State/LSU
Years: 2019-23
Stats: 12,750 passing yards, 66% completion rate, 89 TD, 20 INT, 3,307 rushing yards, 34 TD
The ultimate late bloomer. After four solid but unspectacular seasons at ASU and LSU, the scrambling, gambling Daniels achieved a higher plane of existence in 2023, damn near combining 4,000 passing yards with 1,000 rushing yards in only 12 games.

People said the same thing about Lamar Jackson.. Look how much bigger he is now compared to when he first entered the NFL. They gonna put some weight on JD for sure.

A lot of their success has to do with the organizations and coaching staffs they're drafted by.
