Stick it out and battle hard. Your one injury away from starting.

You only have one chance at somethings in life. You better not listen to folks who have no skin in the game. As was mentioned, pick out your best opportunity, get the best NIL deal and ride.
Don't let life pass you by and listen to fans who will turn on you as soon as you throw your first interception.

Where did Troy Aikman sign out of HS. Where did he end up?
Who was the QB that got the starting job at Oklahoma?
Similar to Nuss, Troy didn't fit the scheme favored by the HC at Oklahoma. Unlike BK, the Oklahoma HC told Troy and helped him find a team that would better utilize his talent.

Practice

I would ask him what did he come to LSU for.

If immediate playing time was his goal, then he should have went to any number of G5 or even FCS schools, he would have had the opportunity to start immediately.

If he wanted to play football at one of the premier programs in the country that constantly put guys in the NFL, then you gotta know playing time is hard to come by. Keep working and be patient. Your time will come.

1. Did Kelly change the offense from what we were running when Nuss signed?
2. If Nuss is a "turnover machine", as many claim, why the crying about the possibility of him transfering?

JD5 is one run away from making you the starter.

I would tell my son that if he can’t beat out JD, he ain’t as good as he thinks and to work harder.

If you can’t be QB1 at LSU you may need a back up to football.

You have obviously never been a star quarterback recruit, looking to prepare for the NFL, reviewing a depth chart to determine who is in front of you and how many years of eligibility they have and discussing with the coaches before committing to a school. An incoming recruit is expecting competition from newly recruited kids brought in benath you on the depth chart in years after you commit. A recruit would usually not expect the play LSU made with Daniels and bringing him as an upperclassman with two years of eligibility to be used the two years that Nuss would have expected to have been the starter while he was being recruited.

Now you can argue about whether bringing in Daniels is good for LSU. Based on the only data we have, which is the production from this season you would have to say yes. But bringing in Daniels was not good for Nuss’s development and was unexpected from Nuss's point of view. Had Nuss known when he committed this would happen. He would have most likely gone somewhere else that would have been more committed to Nuss and his development.

When he was brought in you had Brennan, then Nuss, then Walker and then whoever came in after Walker which looks like Collins. Daniels was not in the plan and in Nuss's decision making when he committed.

He has one chance in college to build enough tape to get drafted and an NFL team to commit a couple of years of a roster spot to his development. So yes LSUs decision adversely affected Nuss’s position and ability to make the next level. He now has to make a plan to overcome that which most would say is to find a place to get on the field and build tape and not to gamble with your future by hoping Daniels gets hurt so you can play as the coaching staff clearly likes Daniels at this point.

These are business decisions for qbs like Nuss. Not emotional or sentimental or based on fandom. Also remember his dad is the an coach for the Cowboys. They understand the value of tape for NFL scouts.

Daniels will get injured again this coming year, simply due to his style of play. I’d tell nuss to be honest with himself….if he thinks he can beat out Howard for the chance to play when that happens, I’ say to stay. If he honestly doesn’t think he can beat out Howard to back up Daniels, I’d transfer.

He knows where he ranks in the depth chart….he is the only one that can make that decision.
