re: Nuss is not that guy, yet

All the Nuss fanboys have zero evidence he can develop into a championship caliber qb. ZERO EVIDENCE.

Sound logic that you just applied to Howard being the answer before Nuss when you have zero evidence there as well

My evidence is how calm and collected he was and the running ability he showed. He was in high school last year and had the demeanor of what I would expect Nuss to have at this point.

Add that to the discussions that many reports have been saying he is probably the most talented qb on the team and he did nothing to make me question that.

Nuss, meanwhile, continued to display terrible accuracy and very poor decision making. He always appears to be forcing everything.

I did not contradict anything.

I am willing to make a permanent ban bet for this website with you.

If Nuss starts one entire year here (not due to injury) I will NEVER post here again. But if he is replaced by any qb or never wins the starting job you can NEVER post on this site again.

I trust my evaluation over your opinion.

Well said !!!!!

Nuss played poorly, but he showed flashes of what got people excited. I always wanted it to be Daniels—it just made too much sense—but giving up on Nuss after Saturday is ridiculous. This “he will NEVER” be good, much less the starting QB is absurd. He’s got plenty of time to develop. I’ll give him a pass because he likely knew that was gonna be one of the times he had to shine and was probably pressing trying to make an impression. I think if Daniels goes down and Nuss gets a full week of reps with the 1s and a game plan designed around his strengths, you’ll see a much different—and better—QB.

That said, like others, I thought Howard was impressive in his limited time. I was surprised that they used that as 1 of his 4 games, though, especially considering what happened with Nuss last year. There’s a more than zero chance Howard has to go in and play at some point in meaningful games. May wish he had that extra game in his pocket. Unless they just love him so much that they’re not gonna bother redshirting him.

He has all the talent in the world based on what?
What he did in high school?

Based on his quickness of foot and throw, and his arm strength that we've seen in games, spring games, and practice.

Yep. In BK's own words.

Regarding Nussmeier...needs to take care of the football, he did some really good things that you can build off...he was pressing since he is the No. 2 and wants to stand out.

There is a bothersome consistency here about Nuss.
He presses and takes chances BECAUSE he is not the starter, hoping he can do something spectacular to get to the No. 1 spot. So, he takes unnecessary risks, not for the team, but for Nuss. Its a formula that is highly unlikely to work for either the team or Nuss.
But it reflects the same sense of selfishness, entitlement and impatience that he exuded when he refused to play in the Texas Bowl.
Nuss, first, team second.

A bit of a hip shooter...could see it in his character during camp press conference...but it needs gametime to improve.

Howard was put into the game to get a feel for what College Football is about & how it differs from high school. They are preparing him to have a real chance at starting next season. Quite literally developing him as the coaching staff sees fit.
