Eyetest!
Arm chair quarterback/psychologist!

My older son played college football at a P5 conference school. Over the course of his career, he had three shoulder surgeries and one knee surgery, all done after seasons were over with. From the time preseason started until well after the season was over, he was hurting - as was every other member of the team. His shoulders would dislocate on a regular basis doing simple things like pushups or pass blocking, and he would have trouble sleeping because of the pain in his knees.

I remember asking him once why he didn't just tell the coaches he was done for the season and have the surgery before things wrapped up for the year, especially considering that he spent his time behind two different guys on the depth chart who are now starting in the NFL.

He didn't even pause when he said "Dad, the school is paying for my education, my room, and my meals. I owe it to them and the rest of the team to be in practice and ready to play if at all possible." He also never missed a single practice or workout session.

Imagine being that loyal without thousands of dollars in NIL money coming in. He finished with a 3.8 GPA and is at the top of his class in grad school now. Good kid.

I'll leave it at that.

What does this have to do with Jason Bean?
I bet your son never had a game like Jason Bean against competition like Oklahoma State.

But we don't know if it's a career/life/movement endangering issue -- Peyton Manning played through a spine so fucked up that he had it fused and had experimental treatment done on it -- Peyton Manning is a rabid professional who values his glory over his body.

If Daniels has a back problem similar to that I don't blame him for sitting through it.

Perhaps if the defense had positively visualized themselves as dominant, successful leaders, they wouldn't have allowed 550+ yards of offense.

I will bet that we will win over 6.5 games this season even if Daniels doesn't return at QB.

Mine is slightly more reasonable ( as ksu is top 25 team in terms of quality despite the AP - I think they'd beat no. 16 MIZZOU on a neutral field ) - win 6+ games in the regular season and win the bowl game.
That would put us at more wins that last season which to me, after our history, is good.

I think our best shots are v Tech and @ Cincy.

If he has a herniated disc he should be able to play through it.
It is an injury that I think is played up to support billions of dollars of surgeries.
