That was the best analysis of us that I have ever read. I couldn't agree more with everything you said.

He is clearly talented and certainly isn't the worst QB I've ever seen. I just think it is hyperbole to think he was great last year when he's just kind of been who he is throughout the duration of his career. And it probably wasn't fair to him to expect some massive jump in production.
He can make some really impressive and solid throws, but leaves a lot to be desired more often than not (healthy or injured).
And when you question him, you get a bunch of idiots that rush out of the woodworks to defend him at all cos

Trapped on the nuss buss?
No one complained about him the year before except that he took too many chances and didn't run enough. We were all excited for this year.
Then he got hurt. It's that simple.
And you think people were trapped because we we're smart enough realize he was hurt instead of criticizing him and shitting on him every second? Lmao. Now that bus is headed to the NFL. Just like we all knew it would

Same experts that thought Jimmy Clausen, Kyle Boller, Ryan Leaf, Shedeur, JaMarcus, and a multitude of other busts would play well in the NFL?
Yeah, I'm shaking in my boots. You also obviously didn't read the entire post because I said I hope Nuss proves me wrong.
Never said I wanted MVB either dumbass. Just that Nuss is overhyped, which he is regardless of injury.

Who has said he was great? The only person using hyperbole here is you when you keep trying to say he was “abysmal”.

You aren’t questioning him. There’s no questioning him anymore, he’s gone. You’re saying he was terrible, which is just factually incorrect.

Yeah he's always had the same decision-making. We didn't criticize him except for two things. He took too many chances and he didn't run enough. But he made up for it with big plays and he was a pretty damn solid quarterback with great arm talent. We didn't beat him down and call for our backup quarterback. We were all excited for this year. But when you add in him getting hurt, which has affected his decision-making,...and took away from this confidence. Affected his velocity. Affected his accuracy. Affected everything. When you take that into account, plus a horrible offensive line that gets pressure from a three man rush with eight people dropping back, and a horrible offensive coordinator, and all of a sudden people think he's a different quarterback.
He's still the same quarterback. He doesn't deserve less or more criticism than he did last year. Whatever you thought about him last year should be exactly the same this year.
If you've always criticized him for decision-making, then you're still correct.
But with a real offensive coordinator and a real offensive line and his injury healed, and him growing and learning, he will be a solid quarterback in the NFL.
And our season would have been different this year also.

Ok. Thanks. I’ll pass this info on to all the pro scouts.

No shite. Some of y’all are acting like people are saying he’s an elite QB with no flaws. No one is saying that. We all know what he struggled with, you aren’t saying any groundbreaking or new information
Posted on 1/30/26 at 11:33 am to BoominSchous
I'm sure you were saying the same thing last year when he wasn't hurt right? Lmao it's OK to be wrong. Just move along

You don’t understand the meaning of the word abysmal then.
So your argument is: "He's not abysmal. He's just not very good"
Yeah, you're right. That's a lot better.

A lot of people spent the entire season pining for Van Buren. He was worse.
Hell man, midway through the 3rd quarter of the Bama game, I didn't care what they did. Putting in MVB was at least something different. So what if it didn't work out? Season was already over at that point. I certainly didn't expect MVB to come in and light it up
quote:
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.
He certainly isn't the problem, but he is a problem. And all I'm saying is that he's been who he is his entire career here (healthy or injured).
He makes some really good throws, but overall, leaves a lot to be desired and has never really improved his decision making. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out.
I've just never understood all the fans that blindly defend him and always have an excuse for him and has a melt down when told otherwise. It's like a cult and it's odd to me.

I didn’t say he wasn’t very good. He was well above average, especially in 2024. You seem to have trouble with reading comprehension.

You have the benefit of hindsight and know, without a doubt, that Van Buren was worse than Nuss and this is still your opinion?
Well, that’s…..something.

Do you read the board? Maybe not you, but there are a lot of Nuss defenders out there that do mental gymnastics to protect their opinion of him for whatever reason.

Yeah, I don't think he was good, and he played terrible in a lot of big games. And there's plenty of data to back that up. Is he Jennings/Harris level of terrible? Absolutely not.
But outside of a couple of flashes, that's about it.

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?
Are you fricking stupid? There was 1000 reasons above and you wrote half of them in there why it was such a struggle for him. Look at Dellinger getting hurt in 2024 or the factory three offensive lineman were missing in the Florida game in 2024. frick man get a fricking grip let it go.
Go back and rewatch Oklahoma when he had decent protection.

You don't seem to understand what the term "above average" is either because stat padding against Nicholls, UCLA and South Alabama isn't what I judge QBs on. Or maybe you just don't watch the games and just go off of what people tell you to say.
Because 2024 Ole Miss, A&M, Alabama and Florida, he wasn't good. I would say below average outside of one drive against Ole Miss. Those are the teams that we compare ourselves to in conference and our biggest rivals, correct? Kind of important to play well in those games.

Buddy, I never said we should put MVB in or that he's better than Nuss. I was fine with the decision to put him in, but wasn't clamoring for it. Sounds like you have trouble with reading comprehension. With the season already over at that point and playoffs out of the question, who cares what we tried? Maybe you get a spark. Maybe MVB throws 8 INTs in a row. Who gives AF at that point?

Sounds like I may have struck a nerve? Buddy, end of the day, it doesn't matter. I just don't think it's that far of a reach to say he's not that good of a QB and at the same time, I can also say that there are a lot of other problems other than him that didn't help.
More than one thing can be true at the same time. You just live in a very literal and binary world, and don't understand nuance.

get that he had an awful offensive line, no run game and a terrible OC to add to the mix.
Injury was the other 1%
