re: Nuss's problem wasn't getting hurt.

admire that he stayed here
He owed us that for quitting as a freshman. We'd have been better off if he had just left. Then we couldve gotten a good qb perhaps. Then again he and Brian Kelly were made for each other. Both overrated bums who make horrible decisions and lose all the big games while stealing money from LSU.

In SEC play, yeah I think that's abysmal. What do you call it? You do realize that he's barely completing 50% of his passes in those games, right? And he has the same amount of INTs as TDs?
I would say a lot of people would be well within their right to question if he is the guy or not at the very least.
A lot of the idiot Nuss Bus fans out like you have to have a total meltdown if you immediately don't sing his praises at all times and spaz out any time someone dare bring up his stats against teams that matter.

You don’t understand the meaning of the word abysmal then.

A lot of people spent the entire season pining for Van Buren. He was worse.

I’m not a huge Nuss fan. I just don’t understand how anyone could look at the offense as a whole and come to the conclusion that Nuss was the problem.
It takes a very, very simple mind to come to that conclusion.

Just glad LSU and Nuss are moving on.

A lot of people assumed he would have this Burrow and Daniels type leap into his second full year as a starter, and it just never materialized.
It's not at all unfair to think the second year leap (progression) did not materialize... because he got hurt.
Your own example suggests players can make significant improvement in their 2nd year as a starter. Being healthy enough to accurately throw a 20-30 yard pass is, however, something of a prerequisite to fairly make this assessment. So, it's disingenuous to come in here and start a thread as if you have some expertise the rest of us don't in assessing how this would've played out.
If he remained healthy, his o-line might've gotten him injured in any case...Then again, if he was capable of accurately throwing downfield, he might've kept defenses more honest.
We'll never know. I don't and you don't.

Move on

It absolutely can. Have you ever tried to do anything hurt? It absolutely affects your decision making.

He wasn't all that great last year. n the 2024 games against A&M, Bama, Florida and Ole Miss, he was barely completing 50% of his passes with 7 TDs and 7 INTs.
That's not great. I just don't get people like you that come in to blindly defend the guy like you have stock in him when he's essentially just been an average QB during his tenure here and we have clear evidence of that.
He sure looked like he had some zip on the ball when he was throwing into triple coverage. Injury sure didn't seem like a problem when he was doing a QB sneak against Southeastern of all teams and dancing in the end zone after.
I won't sit there and tell you definitively he didn't have some sort of injury, but I think he just is who he is regardless.
I think it's disingenuous of you to not look at his whole body of work and just focus on this year.

Not great and average do not equal abysmal.
The issue most people have is when idiots come in here and act like he’s the worst QB they’ve ever seen.

If I had to choose between throwing into triple coverage and throwing to Bauer Sharp I'd probably choose triple coverage too.

Actually, it kinda was.
If you say so.
If we take a step back and... be objective, 90% of posters on here were ready to see Nuss leave and get Bryce Underwood after the Texas A&M game in 2024.
Realistically, the Ole Miss game was a W, but it was another horrible outting.
Then, Bryce flipped to Michigan and Nuss changed his commitment to LSU instead of the NFL. Brian Kelly was lazy, as well all know, so what did he do? He paid Nuss, quite a few dolla, to come back to LSU because him and Nuss had the same agent, grabbed a backup that lost his starting role at Mississippi state, poured him a pina colada and hit the golf course.
I don't think that Nuss deserves a whole lot of criticism, but people who hyped him simply didn't look at the objective reality of the situation.
LSU fans tend to do that a lot. Some of us on here said after LSU's great recruiting class "" last year, that there were some major holes and no one wanted to talk about it.
That's simply the reality of the situation.
Still, this was all Brian Kelleys fault for being lazy. He didn't do what was necessary to get good interior Dlineman and depth on the defense. He didn't make a change at offensive coordinator.
and.. BK knew that Nuss had a psychological ceiling. However, BK underestimated Baton Rouge's impatience with him.

It didn’t start on this board fwiw.
The rumors were reported by beat writers etc that the coaches didn’t think he was putting in the time with the vr headset etc like Jayden.

Go play college football hurt.
Hell go take leaves with a core/ torso injury and see how that goes.

Thats a lot of typing just to say that youre worried about being embarrassed by the experts of the NFL draft
No one should have complained about Nuss when BKs backup plan was a guy that has1 SEC win in 2 years, and is no longer a P4 QB.
And yet you did
Posted on 1/30/26 at 11:14 am to Sheriff Brackett
I feel like Nuss was limping at some point and every single game he ever played. Make of that what you will, fake, real, a mixture. He’s a typical gunslinger who makes poor decisions at times due to him relying on his arm strength his entire career.
He actually ran pretty well when he first started coming in relief but just absolutely stopped. That was his downfall. You have to have some mobility as a threat to be successful in today’s game. ESPECIALLY in a read option offense lol

Nuss wasn’t a perfect WB when healthy
But not being able to do any of the good things he was capable of just magnifies the bad things he was doing.
som of the picks were probably on the injury, but he also made the same bad decisions he has made his entire career.
