re: As much as I like Nuss, LSU has to play only JD vs State

JD is way too inconsistent as a QB to consistently beat good teams. That was proven last season and he has not shown improvement with the small sample size exhibited so far this season. Rolling out and leaving the pocket too often limits options and makes the field smaller. Throwing down field with competence is what opens the running game for himself and the running backs. You can disagree now, just like many did last season. The reality is he has been awful at putting the ball in the endzone vs FSU x2, Auburn, Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas A&M, and Georgia.

5th year senior who was 19th in league last season in yards per pass attempt. He is still bailing too early, holding the ball too long, missing open receivers, and taking sacks on 4th down. With this porous defense, that is a recipe for losses against good teams and a couple slip ups against weaker teams. I just hate to see the team suffer without seeing if someone else is capable of putting points on the board. Unfortunately, the coaches see it differently despite what has already been observed on the field.
