Hogs Haven on Jayden Daniels
From the article
Everyone seems to have an opinion about Daniels, and lately Kurt Warner has had a lot of them. In a video shared on social media, Warner generally praised Daniels' play against the San Francisco 49ers but claimed the young quarterback is too risk-adverse and seems to make his first-read throw the majority of the time instead of trying to 'make the defense pay every single time they make a mistake.'
STACKED’s take
Warner criticizes Daniels' risk-aversion; Blough defends ball protection as superpower.
Kurt Warner praised Daniels' play against San Francisco but claimed he is too risk-averse and makes his first-read throw the majority of the time instead of trying to 'make the defense pay every single time they make a mistake.' Warner wants to see Daniels go for bigger plays when available, not force it but not settle. Coach Dan Quinn acknowledged Daniels missed clear opportunities for bigger plays where receivers were open and he could have had them with better progression work or first-read patience. However, offensive coordinator David Blough emphasized Daniels' ball protection as his 'superpower,' stating: 'His superpower is how he protects the ball. … never want to take that away from him…. happy where he's at; always room to improve.' The source notes Daniels lacks time in Blough's offense, a dependable offensive line, and a consistent run game, which limits his comfort using the full field.
