The book on Lamar was he was a 1 of 1 athlete with an insanely strong arm, but he had accuracy issues, never completing more than 59% of his passes, and he didn’t play in a pro style offense. He sprayed so many balls and was so 1-note with his passing that teams questioned whether or not he was a QB at all.

Jayden Daniels, on the other hand, is a very good athlete, but not on Lamar’s level. For Daniels, it’s not a question of whether or not he can run a pro style offense, because he’s running one right now, but it’s a question of how he runs the offense, and can he keep an offense “on schedule.” Daniels is also a much more natural thrower of the football than Lamar, but he doesn’t have Lamar’s flick the wrist and it goes 60 yards arm strength.

I’d say RG3 is a better pro comp for Daniels than Lamar, though even that comp doesn’t feel quite right. RG3 at Baylor had less polished throwing mechanics than Daniels, and RG3 was more of a straight-line runner with some power, not a whole lot like Daniels’s elusiveness.
