From the episode

Jaden Daniels to me did feel less accurate last year, even when in situations where it felt like he was clean, felt like he had time. It just felt like some of that touch that really made his rookie season magical. It felt like it had faded... he's really good pre-snap. He's really accurate. The ball comes out quick. And I think that he is really good operating that way.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Accuracy decline concerns offset by elite pre-snap processing and quick release.

Mina Kimes notes that Jaden Daniels felt less accurate last year even when clean and with time, with some of the touch that made his rookie season magical appearing to fade; she hopes this was injury-related rather than a mechanical decline. However, Kimes also emphasizes that Daniels is really good operating pre-snap with quick ball release and accuracy in a set-it-and-forget-it style (similar to Peyton Manning and Joe Burrow), and questions whether he wants or is good at operating with more motion and no-huddle elements.
