It's petty but I would rather portal shop. You want your QB to have some mental fortitude and be a leader.

Transfer portal after a true freshman year just seems weak asf.

I get the kid didn't want to run scout team again and I never agreed with that decision. I think you have to give a talent like that legitimate coaching and opportunity.

But to quit and leave because of it? That's soft,

That's not what I want from a "leader"

And frankly Nuss looks like he's oozing with potential. I didn't see that in limited time from Walker

Im not sure what else he would've been doing? You have a new system with a first year coach and coordinator and portal starting QB. I would imagine they were pressed for time to get 2 QBs enough quality reps in the scrimmage portion of practice, much less 3. I guess we could've had a walk-on run scout team but again, if Im taking over a program in the condition we were in, I've got bigger worries than giving week of game reps to a true freshman 3rd string QB. Now one could argue he should've been #2 but Kelly and Denbrock didn't think so, and that's a whole other discussion.

Yet the likes of you bashed Nuss for skipping the bowl game last year.

One fricking half nuss has looked like something better than trash and you all want to anoint him. Typical LSU fans

This is how it plays out if Howard stays at LSU

2023:
-JD5 5th yr senior: starter
-Nuss redshirt Soph: backup with probably more playing
time than 2022
-Howard redshirt freshman

2024:
-Nuss Jr.: starter
-Howard Soph: back up with getting mop up playing time

***if Nuss lights it up he probably declares for the NFL draft

2025:
-Nuss 5th yr Senior: Starter
-Howard Junior: backup but likely getting more playing time/ starter if Nuss goes Pro

***Prior to 2025 is where Howard should actually be looking at transferring

2026:
-Howard 5th yr Senior: Starter

That is the above path for Howard if he stays assuming no major injuries and doesn't get beat out by underclassman.

Frankly, if JD5 doesn't progress in the pass game in 2023 he will likely get injured or even loses the starter job to Nuss as SEC defenses will have better film to defend Daniels.

Apparently, Howard did not want to wait if the 2026 path played out if Nuss was still at LSU for 2025(which I think is a big if).
