He is one of if not the best quarterbacks in the country. But I do not think he should win the Heisman. Stats are very important. But wins and losses are also, especially for a quarterback. A quarterback has more input on wins and losses than any other position on the field. He is the defacto leader of the team. A Heisman quarterback needs to elevate the whole team to another level. Think Cam Newton or Jameis Winston turning 8-4 teams into national champs. Daniels is great. But he has not done that. And right or wrong, I think most Heisman voters look at it very similarly.

Have you seen the LSU Defense?

Daniels can't play defense. You couldn't ask more from him in terms of what he's done this year. Caleb Williams won it last year on a 3 loss team.

If LSU had even a slightly below average defense instead of an all-time historically bad one, the team is sniffing playoffs right now. He has done everything he can short of taking over defensive play calling duties to rally the team. He can’t just blink his eyes and magically “elevate” anything. That’s just not how it works

Neither of those teams had terrible defenses like LSU does this year. That Auburn D was very opportunistic, lead by Nick Fairley.

This isn’t an 8-4 team. This is a 4 win team without him Daniels.

For the most part I agree. But I don’t think you can penalize JD for any of the losses. FSU was his worst game and he still had nearly 400 yards of offense.

In the 3 losses, he’s averaged over 400 yards multiple TDs and 1 TO.

His season is so much better than anyone else right now, why penalize him for bad defense.
