Daniels appeared to be waiting too long to make some of his throws on Wednesday.
First, he threw an interception to Jaguars corner Jabbar Muhammad as he was trying to throw it into a tight window to Garrett Greene. It was a 7-on-7 drill, so Daniels wasn't really supposed to run, and that's why he took the risk. The more alarming moment happened on an incomplete pass from Daniels. Tight end Bauer Sharp was breaking open in to the back middle of the end zone. Daniels was too late pulling the trigger, giving Jacksonville enough time to break the play up. Had Daniels thrown it a second or two earlier, it's a touchdown. The Bucs are clearly propping up Daniels to be QB2, and surely he's trying to toe the line of when to take chances but also not making too many mistakes in front of the coaches. It would be useful to work on his decisiveness this week.

All eyes were on Daniels when he got all of the offensive snaps in the second half. He orchestrated an 80-yard touchdown drive the first time he took the field in the game. He made smart throws and even had a big third down completion to Garrett Greene to move the sticks. His mobility was on display as he avoided some tackles and scrambled for a first down earlier in the drive, too. Following a quick second drive at their own goal line, Daniels threaded the needle great when they had the ball next. He fit a perfect pass in a tight window to tight end Devin Culp for a first down. Then, he found Bauer Sharp on a fourth and five to keep the drive going and get into scoring range and eventually punching in a rushing touchdown of his own.
