During our best 3 game stretch last season Daniels average 18 rushes per game, most of them designed runs. The backs averaged 22 rushes per game and the run pass ratio was +50% run. That’s the formula, what we did Sunday was over 60% pass with the backs getting a total of 12 attempts. The staff should know how to call games for this QB and this offense by now.


This is what has surprised me from this staff. Most of us realized what happened at A&M when JD couldn’t run. So why would our top notch staff change what he does? He has to run the ball for us to be effective. Same goes for changing Perkins role. Why get cute in a huge opening game against a top 10 opponent? I will also add that until we see Nuss play this year, you can’t say JD gives us the best chance to win. You can’t trust this staff after Sunday.

The fact of the matter is that we see a very limited view of the football team.

We don’t get to see what the coaches see in practice and scrimmages.

The same back up that ya’ll cream your pants over may not always shine and may not be at the point of play that you imagine they are day in and out.

The only negative thing I hear about Nuss is that he may throw a pick. Who cares? If he throws 3 TDs and the receivers are making plays and LSU is up 28-7, So what if he throws an occasional pick. LSU moves the ball and Makes 3rd down conversions when Nuss is in the game.
Worrying about an interception is ridiculous.

To not play a guy because he may throw a pick is dum.

Daniels leads the SEC last year in not throwing picks. How did that help us against Tennenesse or Texas AM last year????

Daniels has a skill set where he WOULD be a great college QB, but they would have to use him like the QB he is.

If they installed a QB Power offense he actually WOULD be in NY at year's end, but that's a coaching deficiency.

So that leaves it up to Jayden to become something he's not, but it ain't happening. He's allergic to any part of the field that normally contains a safety.

I have not once seen Daniels check out of a bad play. Maybe he isn’t allowed to and if that’s the case, it’s an indictment on this coaching staff.

I don't get you, man. how can you believe daniels is ou best chance? granted, we don't know for sure unless we get to see the Nuss. and based on your post, the logical conclusion is that we need to see nuss.

That’s what I’ve been saying, how do you know? Let Nuss play/start in a meaningful game. He may have solved the turnover problem. It’s obvious Daniels hasn’t solved anything. I really do want to hear he looks good in practice. There’s no pressure in practice. His decision making falls apart under pressure.

I've seen enough JD to know when he looks good, he is the safer option but when he looks bad, it feels awful knowing we could at least try the second option. Reminds me of Les

Maybe they don’t trust him to check out of a bad play. Daniels is an exceptional runner, everything else he does is below average.

Daniel’s down field balls on Sunday were not even remotely catchable. They were not even deep balls. Intermediate up the sidelines.

Could not tell if we even ran a play with receivers 15 yards over the middle. That is where two,high safeties is vulnerable. We already know Daniel’s will not even throw that ball

He will NOT throw the ball unless the WR is wide open or it's a short pass. He does not see receivers down the field. He cannot read a defense or even a defensive end on a zone read run.


he is what he is. a very good athlete playing QB.

Good post

Daniels will look great against Grambling and all the other shitty teams on our schedule. He has not improved at all, like we were told he has. Not giving Nuss a chance is bullshite.

I dont like trying another QB for the sake of trying another QB.

but i do think Daniels needs to play better than Sunday.

Why when the team had zero emotion & was getting pushed around didn't Kelly at least try Nuss? Most of us played sports at some level. Sometimes, especially when you're flat, you need a change just to see if it has an effect on the teams energy. I can't recall seeing a softer Tiger second half.

because Daniels isn’t why the OL is getting pushed around.

He starts because the other option is not significantly better and does not give us any greater chance of winning more games. It really is that simple. To believe otherwise is to believe that you (who has zero coaching experience at any elite level) knows more about this team and football in general than the professionals (with decades of experience at the elite level and who spends the most time with this team) know. To believe that is absurd and shows just how ignorant you are.


Couldn't have said it better myself.

We took on JD after watching his stats go down hill his season before transfering. Nuss has proven himself.

In the college game, a QB who is a threat to run and move the pocket is a great weapon.




Yeah! Couple him with a 10 million dollar HC and we are 0-2 in 1st game season. Awesome!
Looking forward to regaining respect vs Grambling.
Wonder how long we will keep signing top WRs. They are about as useless as signing with Miles.
Boutte looked like a clown last season, now he is a member of the Patriots. Suckers! What a waste of talent.
Now its Nabers, Thomas, and Lacy's turn to be scapegoats.

This re: Daniels. No improvements since last year. Why do we expect a different result later in the season?
