Paul Finebaum on JT Daniels: ‘He’s the best QB in the SEC’

Expectations for the Bulldogs continue to grow as we get closer to kickoff versus Clemson in Charlotte. A large reason is quarterback J.T. Daniels, who went undefeated as the starter last season while putting up big numbers. Daniels threw for 1,231 yards (67.3%) and 10 touchdowns with only two interceptions in just four games.

In speaking with DawgNation, the SEC Network’s Paul Finebaum spoke very highly of Daniels, calling him the league’s best passer.

“I understand the criticism,” Finebaum told DawgNation.com “I had a coach hit me up the other day and ask why am I so high on JT Daniels? What else has he done? Who else did he play other than Cincinnati? And that’s fair.

“But we’re talking about someone who I think is one of the best quarterbacks in the country.”

When Daniels took over in the later part of the 2020 season he wasted no time in making sure everybody – players and fans included – knew that this was his team.

Daniels looks ready to lead the Bulldogs in 2021 and should be one of the nation’s top quarterbacks at the end of the season. He had a phenomenal first year with Georgia, throwing for 1,231 yards, 10 touchdowns and just two interceptions in only four games last season.

“He just has the ‘it’ factor, and to be a great quarterback, you have to have that,” said Finebaum.

“But JT Daniels, I don’t even think it’s a question. I don’t think its debatable — he’s the best quarterback in the SEC.”
