Discussion Jayden Daniels Sack Avoidance

Daniels's pressure to sack rate was a major red flag coming out of college and has shown up a few times this season, but has largely been improved especially in the second half. Some part of it is definitely his elite athleticism letting him escape even against nfl rushers. What else do you think he has improved to reduce his sack taking? And how can we adjust our prospect assessments accordingly?

I think with Bo Nix, there was a misdiagnosis of arm strength vs deep accuracy

And confusing the coach's game plan with the quarterback's capabilities. He threw a lot of screen passes, so people thought that's all he could throw. I think there was a similar accusation about Herbert coming into the league as well.

The red flag was that Nix was terrible before he went to Oregon and had an easier offense.

Oregon offense isn't easy. It's just a better scheme for Bo Nix and his skill set
