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.

Jayden Daniels had lesser WR's? WTF?

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.

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.

I really only watched one game of LJackson in college and that dude had to be an elite RB cause his oline was barely getting a hand on their opposite. Jackson was running for his life and that was a mid level conf game ... Wasn't Clem or even UK

I saw both play in person.
This is not a difficult decision at all.
Lamar.

Daniels wasn't in Jackson's class.
There are ten different QBs in the last decade who were worse than Jackson but better than Ragdoll.

Lamar Jackson won the Heisman and still lost to Kentucky that year I'll go with Daniels.

I am curious how you came to the conclusions Jayden had lesser receivers and Lamar was a much better runner.

What? Did I miss where they won a National Championship?

Jayden wouldn't lose to Kentucky

Daniels had two first round draft picks at receiver. Who the hell was Jackson throwing to that was better. You are an idiot
