A lot of scripted stuff with predetermined targets. Then they leave room on some plays for stroud to elevate the team and take shots every once in a while. Very QB friendly, and requires high level playcalling to work They don't put the weight of the world on CJs shoulders -
That's why Carolina being the obviously inferior destination does not mean much in this scenario. It takes a DUDE to walk away from guaranteed generational wealth that is an order of magnitude better than other offers. And on top of that, you can go out and get another job when Tepper cans you in 2 years. Plus it likely wont be a 20 Mil diff. If we offer 4 yrs 11 Mil and Car goes 8 Yr 15 Mil your asking Ben to walk away from 76 Mil to come here... I'd know where I'd be coaching.

I don't like the straight line speed argument for him either. It looks like Daniels has very good wiggle as a runner to me as well. There were plenty of cut ups from when he won the Heisman were his weaving ability and lateral movement is excellent. He seems very good at making guys miss and miss big in open field. If he was in NFL street his "O Moves" rating would be great. What he seems to lack is that protective instinct to finish a run by protecting himself rather than running until he is taken down. You can only bob n weave so long before somebody gets an angle. Lamar is really great at that. You rarely see Lamar get in car crashes not only b/c he is elusive, but b/c when he gets what he can get out of a play, he is more than willing to eat dirt at the end of a run before someone can lay the wood on him. He will even eat dirt in the backfield if he does not see anything there. This is a learnable skill, one Daniels has to acquire, and that will be the difference between a good run and a good run that ends in a car crash.

Its funny how Maye and Daniels get compared so often to Allen and Lamar when the latter two could barely hit the broadside of a barn in college. They are both light-years ahead of those two as college passers. Allen and Lamar were legit horrible accuracy-wise. There is more to it than completion % but Maye and Daniels put up 63% and 72% respectively. Allen and Lamar were 56% and 59% in their final college years. Neither Maye nor Daniels need to have the monstrously uncommon accuracy gains seen from Allen and Lamar to be successful in the NFL, because they are not the garbage tier passers those two were coming into the league. If Maye and Daniels improve just a little, they will be fine. They are starting from a much higher floor, the distance they have to climb is effectively much shorter. If either Maye or Daniels had the passing chops of college Allen or Lamar I wouldn't want to touch either w/ a ten foot poll b/c the odds of them improving to the degree needed to be successful is nearly a statistical impossibility.
