After two games, ESPN’s QBR metric likes [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag]. The Tigers’ QB sits atop the SEC in the latest QBR ratings.
ESPN describes QBR as a rating “which values the quarterback on all play types on a 0-100 scale adjusted for the strength of opposing defenses faced.” Daniels’ QBR is now 90.9.
Daniels’ total EPA of 14.6 also leads the league, putting him just ahead of Arkansas‘ K.J. Jefferson. Daniels’ QBR is good enough for fifth in the country. Max Duggan, Caleb Williams, Jalon Daniels, and Drake Maye sit ahead of the LSU starter.
At this point, Tiger fans seem to be happy with what they have seen from Daniels. There were some struggles in the first half against Florida State, but Daniels has been improving and looks in control of the offense. His legs have added another dimension to this offense that hasn’t been there in some time.
