re: Why I don't want JD5 to play in bowl game

His whole body of work is going to trump anything that happens in this meaningless (your words, not mine) bowl game

Probably true, but that still means it can't benefit him even if it won't hurt him much. All risk, no reward.

quote:

Many will disagree, but I don't want Jayden to play against Wisconsin. For one, it's an absolute nothing game against an unranked opponent. Second, JD has absolutely zero upside to playing and only downside. He played really well or great in every game this season so one more isn't going to do anything to impress scouts. And if he absolutely craps the bed it could hurt him. Third, he could get hurt and screw up his future. Fourth, I think it's best for the program that Nuss get weeks of practice as #1 and get valuable game experience going into next season

3 things

1. I want him to play in the bowl game no matter what. Even if it's just a half.

2. All these nonsensical excuses, nobody was talking about before kids starting opting out of bowl games.

3. Let's face it. If Rickie Collins was the backup and not Nuss, NONE of you would be saying this crap. Everybody is only saying this crap because of Nuss. If we had some ho-hum backup QB, many of you would have never said any of this.

I would like to see him dress and travel with the team. Then take the first offensive snap and take him out so that fans can appreciate him one more time. He would have a blast on the trip just hanging with teammates and even coaching the younger guys.

BOOM. This should have been the first reply to this thread so we could have shut this shithole down.

The fact that people argue otherwise is absolutely ridiculous.

No, it's not overrated to get 3 weeks of practice and a full game as starter. There's a reason everyone wanted week 0 games before FSU both years. A Sugar bowl is a bit better than the Reliaquest bowl. Just be honest you don't want him to play.

---

Practicing for the bowl isn't exactly the same as practicing for the next year's opener.

If it were, don't you think teams would just sit all players with no more eligibility?

We are talking about 2 different things. Not surprisingly you missed it since you have a different agency.

3 weeks of practice before a game is very important. 3 weeks of practicing as a starter 9 months before the next season is not important at all. The poster I was responding to said it would be better for the program. They will have all spring and summer to practice for next season. That’s more than enough to prepare for next season. practicing as the starter now will not impact the QBs play next season, that’s the point.

Again it helps if you grasp the point. The point was not about the particular bowl game or even which QB should start, but whether practicing for and starting in a bowl gives a QB that was the backup this year and potentially the starter next any meaningful benefit. It does not. Just like young QBs getting some “mop up” snaps in blowouts doesn’t have any meaningful benefit or impact on whether he succeeds.

He is. Get over it.

I really feel sorry for people like you, that think everything is a fight or driven by some kind of agenda. Is it because you perhaps spent so much bandwidth attacking Daniels/screaming for Nussmirer that you think everyone thinks the same. It’s really a shame.

Maybe it’s a generational thing but an old Gen Xer like me I just root for the LSU. I don’t base it on who’s playing or coaching even if I wanted someone else.

As an LSU fan I’d love to see Daniels play one more time but I completely understand if he decides not to for his own future. I do not think his playing would hurt the development of Nussmirer. If Daniels opts out i hope Nussmirer does well. As for next year He’s been here for 2 years with this coaching staff, they know what they have, if he’s named the starter next year he’ll have all off season and summer to practice, he’d be fine even if Daniels plays this bowl

OP have you ever heard of Insurance. Also worry about yourself and let JD5 do what he wants to do. In a world where they all seem to opt out of Bowls if this young man wants to play one or two series that's his business. Let him play. Nussmeir will get his chance

Selfishly, I’d love to see him play one more time in purple and gold, but I agree with all you said.

quote:

---

If he wants to play he will. If he opts out it will have nothing to do with "the backup quarterback needs some reps so I'll get out y'all way".

---

So last year when Jayden was also the starter and it was still the 2022 season why did he and Nuss alternate drives? That was with him likely coming back by the way making your point even more stupid.

quote:

---

I want him to play in the bowl game no matter what. Even if it's just a half.

---

If he plays a half he might as well play the whole thing. You want him to risk injury let him do it in garbage time too and protect next year's starter. Nuss handing it off after the half ain't worth shite.

Obviously. If we didn't have next year's likely starter on the team then who gives a shite. Since we do that changes the dynamic to wanting to prepare him before USC.

Very true, but it's the new norm. Josh Pate even suggested moving bowl games to before the next season as a kind of preseason exhibition.
