Here’s another thing do…

If penix was a bust or gets hurt we’d be screwed. Plus the team would suffer miserably during the transition period of him trying to learn the game.

Penix moved from big10 to pac 12 because he was struggling in big10.

Daniels moved from pac12 to sec because he knew it would help him prepare for the next lvl and he knew he would still shine.

Already had big games against ranked teams with NFL talent. FSU…bama…ole miss…mizzou…plus sec teams like Auburn…florida and Arkansas that just play a different type of ball than pac12.

Even if Daniels takes a bit to adjust to the nfl with his passing game… he is going to play as well as anyone we have had last 2 seasons AT LEAST…throwing the ball.

Running the ball in rpo/zone read he is better than anyone we had. Is automatically up there with lamar and others as far as a runner. Could even argue he is as talent as bijan in that aspect. He is a different type of runner. But he is faster than bijan and would the fastest player on the team.

We have had problems with rpo and play action. He automatically improves those. He can throw a nice deep ball. Ridder has been ok making reads in rpo in the redzone but he hasnt been a dominate runner.

Daniels can counter all the things defenses have been doing to bottle up the offense. Even if he struggles a little at first throwing the ball as rookies do… defenses would not be able to clamp down and take away the entire offense like they have done with ridder

Daniels day 1 skill set fixes a lot limitations the offense has had. Especially chunk and longer td plays. He can get big plays running and throwing

Just adds way more than penix would to the offense. Only other guy that could add at a similar level is Maye.
