Matt Hayes: Jayden Daniels is LSU's QB1, and it's not close

Never heard of her!

10 page thread

TD doesn't want to hear it but this is the truth. You don't know enough about Nuss flaws to say otherwise. Both open a game up differently. JD can still progress no matter how many years he has been in NCAA. The scout right there on the page said it. He already saw big progression that according to TD.com he hasn't moved since ASU.

That's what actual coaching gives you in 1 year time unlike his time at ASU where it was clear he did not have the coaching. So yes, he can progress with another year. He doesn't need immense progression for defenses to have a nightmare defending our offense. He just needs to progress in everything on the pass side. How much is up to him.

After seeing what Nuss did, all the receivers would revolt if JD was starting next year, lol.

ColdTurkey: I do not give a metric frick what Matt Hayes says about LSU's QB room.

Thanks everybody I couldn't have done this without yall

Why would we lose Howard? He’ll be a redshirt freshman next year with 4 years to play.

Is he the known now? Yes. He’s started 40+ games and in that time has shown great play and awful play.

Daniels can keep the team as a potential 10 win team, but he won’t win them a championship next year. A lot had to go right this year for LSU to end up in that bn position and they likely don’t get those breaks next year.

The problem is if you trot out Daniel’s next year, Nuss is gone and Howard likely gets minimal experience and real game development meaning you go into 2024 with a green QB in a year when a title shot would be more likely.

You can’t waste a year if development for a win or two more next season.

Interesting stuff in the article if you are not invested in any QB camp.

Everything at LSU of late is compared to the 2019 season, which is understandable because it’s the greatest single season in the modern era of college football. But it was also rare — and comparing any other team or season is mental gymnastics.

But — and this is critical to the current state of the quarterbacks at LSU — there are those on staff who believe Daniels can make a significant jump in 2023 like Joe Burrow did in 2019. Multiple scouts I’ve spoken to believe the same thing.

They’ve watched a player who, conceptually, didn’t practice and play within any structure at Arizona State for the first 3 seasons. He freelanced, and he made it up as he went along.

I am concerned that JD has basically set and those changes will not come easily.

It would be foolish to take a chance on JD and potentially lose Howard, Nuss or both

I would like to believe the coaches will be able to see in practice if JD looks like he has made a leap. And that they will give the starting job to the right QB. I doubt we lose both Howard and Nuss if JD starts, probably just Nuss.

Nuss made several bad reads in that game. You guys need to watch it again. He's boom or bust. Stat wise career at LSU it's so far a bigger negative than positive. He has more TOs than he does TDs.

---

That happens when a guy has limited experience and is playing the best d in the country. So, Daniel’s gets 40+ games to show improvement and Nuss gets like 2 maybe 3 games equivalent of play some with second stringers?

Man, the hard on some of y’all have for Nuss is absurd.

Do y’all even remember Jayden’s last series in that game? He frickin led an immaculate 1 minute drill with 2 heavily sprained ankles.

Nuss is a gunslinger. Nothing more. Nothing less. Do you remember the half that Southern outscored him in?

I mean, he was also outscored in the SEC ship half and Georgia was not even trying.

There might be 10% of this board that actually understands what good QB play is and that is astounding considering that we all got to watch Burrow for 2 seasons. And half of you hated him for a season too.

Thats pretty obvious that JD is QB1 its only on the rant that its a topic.
