I think he’s going to be just fine. Needs a functioning offense in all phases with a coach/OC that schemes for his strengths and he should be successful.

Nuss is a great QB
“Great”.
There is no word in the English language misused more on this board .
It should be reserved for its proper connotation.

Injured or not we saw him panic and make awful decisions. He needs to fix his mentality mid-play.
He has the arm for the nfl but needs to work on slowing down the game in his brain

Then why did he grade out as one of the worst deep ball passers in the conference in the season he wasn't injured? He's a gunslinger that panics when he faces pressure because he doesn't have the mobility to extend the plays.
This 100%. Why do our fans feel the need to make this guy something he NEVER was?
The game iq isn’t there and he panics when pressure is on. Time will prove this yet again and you glossers will be gone again

I supported BK early on. On paper it was a good hire.. Now I'm watching Lane put in the work he has non-stop since Day One.. I agree with the fact nuss had no help. Bad coaching.. bad scheme.. And oline was bad yes. But ya know what Also helps a young oline? Is committing to a running game and letting the young big boys maul ppl. Not much teaching there. There's a reason why they were all recruited by the best and picked up very quickly by big time programs.

He sucked when it mattered. Full stop.
Danielle Hunter had 4.5 sacks in 3 seasons at LSU (best year 3 sacks).
In 10 seasons in the NFL he has had 7 10+ sack seasons and no season under 6 sacks including one where he only played 7 games.
Was Hunter a bad player at LSU or did he have bad coaching?

It almost seems like people believe you can never improve and coaching doesn’t help players work through issues.
Posted on 2/1/26 at 11:18 am to mike4lsu
Let’s be honest, LSU’s offensive problems started and ended with the offensive line, can’t pass protect, can’t Run block, no vertical pass game , virtually no run game except a few good runs by Berry and Durham and add in the injury to Nuss and it’s a disaster

Thank you!! I been saying this all year long! Sometimes players fail to progress, sometimes they don’t practice mentally and make a ton of mistakes, but a player doesn’t just lose his arm strength because he lost focus and didn’t practice hard enough.
Thus board was full of haters who blamed Nuss and said he didn’t practice and didn’t care.
The kid went from throwing 60 yard bombs in highschool to not being able to throw the ball with any force for over 25 yards!!! That doesn’t just happen!!!!! That’s a result of being forced to play through an injury the severely impairs your greatest ability.

Not sure how anyone can definitively say that he’s a “great” quarterback though
Nuss was never a great QB here. '25 was the year for him to become great and (IMO) due to injury, it did not happen.
FTR, no one thought of Burrow or Jayden as great in their respective junior seasons. After '18 had Joe left, he was projected to be a late rd pick. And not sure if Jayden would even have been drafted after '22. They up'd their games in the 5th year. Nuss didn't. And yet, his 4th season was in many ways better than either Joe's or Jayden's. His arm strength is better than either. But he doesn't have the savvy of Joe (who does?) or the foot speed of Jayden (who does? Not many).

Hunter dominated at lsu. His last year he had 73 tackles (2nd most of any line player)from a true hand in the dirt de position. He absolutely shut down the run on his side of the field. I'll take 73 tackles from my de over 8/9 sacks. Hunter was a beast and very productive at lsu. Sacks are a very overrated stat imo.

bullshite. In sec play in 2024 Nuss had worse stats than Jordan Jefferson in sec play 2009.
Nuss ate off 2 rent wins in 2024. 8 tds and 700 yards came against 2 rent a wins. In sec play nuss has been a bad qb at lsu.

Just curious, where were his "24" receivers drafted?
Were they as competent as Nabers, Thomas, Boutte, Chase, Jefferson, Marshall.

Hard to have a proven, competent backup QB in the NIL era.
Look at Bama, they played a clearly injured Simpson down the stretch because they didn't trust the backup option.
Oklahoma had a better backup option than most and still struggled when Mateer was out.

It's clear that Nuss has the tools to be a good quarterback but it's impossible to make any concrete evaluations based on his time at LSU.
The team around him only magnified his weaknesses.
He's a true pocket passer and in 2024 constantly had pressure up the middle, which is the worst thing you can do to a true pocket passer.
In 2025, the offensive line was garbage all over and he was also injured.
He had no running game in either year.

And let's normalize things. If we're gonna discard the "rent wins" that Nuss played in in'24, do the same for Joe in '18 and Jayden in '22. Show your work. Let's see how their #s compare.

Does it really matter if you can’t hit them consistently when they are open?
