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

Nuss was throwing against starters until just over 4 minutes left in the 4th.

The starters were also in the game against Missouri and Kentucky. The issue is the passion and focus of the players given the circumstances.

No hate here….

Hahahahahaaaaa

He’s hasn’t been given a chance. He’s been thrown into games that were decided and players checked out most of the time. This was the only game that matters imo and everyone single QB on the planet is going to make bad reads but it’s what becomes of those bad reads when he makes them.

They all have work to do but imo Nuss just has more upside than Daniel’s does and our goal here is to win championships not average 10 wins a season. From what I’ve seen from both QBs, Nuss is the QB who will win a championship, not Daniel’s at this point. Now if Daniel’s improves his ability to spread the ball around, get the ball out under 2.5 seconds with accuracy and consistency, he’s going to be the guy. If he can’t do that consistently, imo there is no choice here, it’s the QB who can do that no matter how many times he throws an int while gaining experience. That problem will eventually fade away with more games and more experience for the QBs and WRs working together within the offense. If Daniel’s would just start throwing the football to all of our weapons, no matter the yardage, when coming open, he’d be a huge huge weapon back there but he just will not do it consistently. Our WRs almost 90% of the time have to be wide open for him to throw that ball.

That’s where practice comes in handy in the off-season. You get your butt out there with your starting 6 WRs. Put 4 and 5 out there at a time and just start tossing the ball with coverage and within your scheme or playbook. Call plays within the playbook and run all kinds of different coverages so he can see what he isn’t seeing now. If I’m the QB coach, I’m making my top 3 QBs practice on their own time and hit the record button on the cameras so I can evaluate that film.

I’d tell them to run the offense exactly how you would in the games, including how you lead them. Walker Howard needs to get some time as well. I hope these QBs don’t leave our program. All they need is 1 really good season. Win lots of games and maybe a championship, while tossing the ball around with accuracy and they’ll get their name called in the right spot when the NFL comes calling.

Those WRs were finally having fun out there and we need a QB who gives those guys a reason to play hard on every down. To know they have a chance to make a play every single time the QB let’s the ball go. To know they will have to earn that ball and grab it from all types of different angles. These talented 1st round WRs love that. They love having to make that spectacular catch. Just throw those boys the ball where they can go get it and watch the magic happen.

THIS!

It was obvious the group of wide receivers were ecstatic when Nuss started firing fastballs

Nussmeier will cost you a game or two. He takes too many chances on his throws. It's just that he was getting it there so fast that Georgia could not adjust fast enough....but by the end of the game they were starting to.

Daniels has cost his team 3-4 games every year because he's scared to throw and can't make downfield throws.

quote:

---

So, he cost LSU when they gave up 50 to Georgia and 40 to Tennessee?

---

You could argue "yes" because those are prime examples of games he refused to throw down field. Nickle and Diming only works if you take a shot every so often. Arkansas and A&M both loaded the box because all they had to defend was the short pass and run.

quote:

---

He was the one who had two kicks blocked and two muffed punts against FSU?

---

FSU game is the only game he gets an actual pass, since it was his first game and ST play was horrendous.

quote:

---

So is it your contention that this team would have been 12-1 if not for Daniels?

---

I'm arguing that he did absolutely nothing to help LSU win those games with his play. Supposedly we had one of the best WR rooms in the country. Where were they? Rumor is that they're still out there waiting on a pass. Whether or not LSU wins those games with another quarterback is another argument entirely.

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

---

Receivers don’t want what coaches want - the players on the field that gives the TEAM the best chance to win?

Anyone that doesn’t put team first needs to enter the portal. There are much worse schools out there with no chance at a championship where they can pursue their individual glory.

read the comments of other teams fans... They dont want Nuss starting for LSU...
