Horton for Daniels…

WR play in college is in large part completely contingent on OC & QB.

Unless you're a freak athlete like Justin Jefferson or Ja'marr Chase types, the majority of your success/productivity will hinge on the system you play in & the QB you have.

Dawson's system is WR friendly, it's the opposite of Gattlesses "system", which means WR's in this Offense are interchangeable.

As long as they have prerequisite ability in terms of decent speed & hands, you can pretty much plug & play most WR's in this system & they'll be able to at the very minimum get 500+yds.

Horton benefitted from playing in Dawson's Offense & having a Davey O'Brien award winning QB. If he's smart, he'll go somewhere that has a similar system & good QB if he wants to maintain his numbers.

Just look at Colbie Young, compare his numbers at Miami vs UGA
- in Gattlesses system
- in Dawson's Creek system
- in Mike Bobo's system

When you're not a top 60 NFL draft pick caliber WR, pretty much 80+% of your productivity is dependent on OC & QB.

In other words, it really doesn't matter to what degree Daniels is "better" than Horton, as long as we have a good QB in this Offense, his productivity is already baked into the system.

that and this for Colbie:

 
Miami wants both. From what I’ve heard it was never “this or that”, Canes want both, but if Horton has a massive deal on table let him take it. Won’t hurt us either way. UMs production last season at WR can’t be denied and it’s evident on portal trail right now.

Well, Jefferson and chase did benefit from having Joe burrow who is one of the top three qbs in the nfl right now, and the leagues all time most accurate passer.
 
Staff thinks Daniels is better

I definitely don't see that. And hopefully it isn't either/or.

BUT…The heel injury could explain a lot of Daniels becoming more of a possession guy at LSU (nothing wrong with a good possession guy at al but ADOT fell off the map, somehow didn't score a TD all season in a pretty good offense, etc, etc)…So maybe he gets a little explosiveness back and the two are close if we have to lose Horton (keeping him should be a MAJOR priority)
 
I don't think that is it. We have a bunch of slot guys so we need outside size. Horton and Daniels provide that.

Tom Brady said it on the game he did this week. He said WR is the one position on the field totally depending on others to be successful.
