Will JT Daniels end UGA’s National Title drought this year (Heisman in the cards too?)

As a big believer in JT Daniels, I took a deep dive into how Georgia performed last year with him at QB.
Let us start with the most eyepopping number first: With JT Daniels on the field, the Bulldog offense averaged an astounding 7.5 yards per play! If we extrapolate this out over a full season, that would place the 2020 UGA offense among the top-10 most explosive offenses over the last 3 seasons.
Part of that was JT’s ability to push the ball downfield. JT had 22 completions of 20+ yards last year. That was more than 44 other FBS teams, in just 4 games!
The Bulldog offense also converted 57% on 3rd down with JT, compared to 41% without him on the field.
Georgia Offense w/ JT Daniels on the field
YPP – 7.5
Comp% - 67%
3rd Down% - 57
Offensive EPA – 70.3
Georgia Offense w/o JT Daniels on the field
YPP – 5.5
Comp% - 52%
3rd Down% - 41%
Offensive EPA – 2.9
I think UGA has the dogs to win it all this year and JT is a good bet to get at least an invite to NYC, if not win the whole thing.
What do you think?

He would have to be ridiculously efficient. We were throwing it around a lot more with JT last year but even then we were running the ball 45% of the time.
I seriously doubt we will pass the ball enough for him to put up numbers that will compete with Rattler. He would have to be near Mac Jones level efficient to be considered.

Now that he's healthy he should be able to drive the ball down the field more and with better accuracy.

Could be brother. But a shocking find: UGA passed on 53% of plays that JT was in.
Here's UGA's Pass ratio each year under Kirby (this takes into account sacks, scrambles and I also tried to eliminate spikes if it was listed correctly in play-by-play)
2016 - 46%
2017 - 35%
2018 - 44%
2019 - 48%
2020 - 50%
If they hold in that 53%-55% range, JT could light up the box score with the talent.

I want to believe. Stars have aligned for the most part for y’all.

It’s hilarious you guys still believe Kirby won’t frick this up for him.

He may not need to to have Mac Jones/Joe Burrow level of play. That's an extremely high expectation. I would say around the level of play of Trevor Lawrence in 2018 or a tad bit better.

True. The defense mechanism needs work however:
Record vs ranked opponents - since 2009
Kirby Smart: 17-11 (coaching since 2016)
Dan Mullen: 12-39

After UF beat UGA last year he shouldn't have anything against Kirby. After Oct 30 2021 Gatorbait2008..............
