00:00If you did grades, like grade Jaden Daniels' preseason performances, which is the poll,
00:06you'd put A, B, C, D, and it only allows four choices, so you'd put A, B, C, D, or lower.
00:13But I think that's impossible, so I put A, A minus slash B plus, B, and then C or lower.
00:22And I don't think you can even vote C or lower. Here's the thing with Jaden Daniels' performance,
00:27it's not even a negative, because he had really good ball placement. Only thing I could say is
00:32there was a lot of sideways passes in this game. It was a lot of drop back, plant your foot,
00:38release the ball in under, probably under two and a half seconds.
00:43But he delivered them. Some of that's by design and some of that's when he's being pressured.
00:47He delivered them right on time. He had one nice run. Now Dan Quinn said he would have liked him
00:54to slide. And he was yelling at him. It was fine, in my opinion. It's not like he took some major
01:00hit. And it showed you how they're going to have some designed runs, because he's going to get
01:05first downs on these runs a lot of times if it's blocked well. I'll tell you who did a great
01:09breakdown of him. Chase Daniel put out a breakdown of his performance overnight, I think. I watched
01:15it this morning. And it's amazing to watch ex-quarterbacks. I don't care if it's Kurt
01:20Warner who's in the Hall of Fame or Dan Orlowski or Chase Daniel. The way they break down film and
01:26all the things, all of the responsibilities these quarterbacks have is staggering. That's why it's
01:31so difficult to play well as a rookie. But he was so complimentary of what Jaden was doing,
01:37Jaden's footwork, Jaden making calls at the line of scrimmage, Jaden making the right read. He only
01:44had one or two instances where he maybe quibbled with Jaden's decision making. But he's raving
01:50about him, raving about him. And he didn't do anything extraordinary. But he is super accurate,
01:57super smart. You could tell, even though it's just preseason, he just fits right in, right? It's just
02:04a natural progression for this guy. And, you know, he did have a, his first run was one that Chase
02:13did criticize where it probably wasn't the right read. He probably should have just given it to the
02:18running back. If you remember, he went left, only went for like a yard or two, but he also took a
02:23big hit there that was kind of under-emphasized. If you're watching on replay, he took a pretty
02:29big hit. So he is going to have to be careful. You know, even though he didn't get hit on that play
02:34where he had the nice run where Quinn's saying, get down, get down. You know, we've all seen the
02:38car crashes he had in college. He's gonna run a lot. He's gonna have to get down.
