Question About Nuss

It's going to be really fun to see people attempt to answer this one.

Because a receiver said something in an interview or something like that.

I have hope that he will be really good, but anyone on here who acts like they know how good he is is lying to themselves. We've barely seen him play.

Oh and something about an "it" factor.

If you come to LSU as a highly recruited QB you are expected to win the Heisman. Nuss was the highest ranked QB based on talent in 15 years probably. So people expected him to come in a hit 40 yard fade routes each play.

It’s pretty hilarious to see people try to act like there is no reason to be high on Nuss. I’m willing to bet the same people think Brennan would throw for 4K yards because 2 years ago he lit up Vandy and Mizzou at a time where our offense was allergic to running the ball.

And yet you named none of them. That was the whole purpose of the OP.

And then to make matters worse, you go ahead and name actual reasons why people could be hopeful about Brennan.

Really good spring game/spring overall. Players, especially the best receivers, are high on him. Throws the prettiest ball, passes the eye test.

People discredit the spring game, but it’s more reliable than his in game action last year imo given he was a true freshman with an incompetent head coach and OC, bad oline, no Boutte, debuting against an SEC defense, etc. I think he’ll be solid if he beats out Brennan and Daniels for the job.

Have you ever watched college football? Everyone loves the backup QB.

I think people are just assuming or hoping for some natural progression. Yeah he didn't look all that good last year but he was a true freshman that showed some tools to work with. Rarely are true freshman a finished product.

Obviously these are two different players but I remember the optimism and same things being said about Max last summer. "True freshman last year that made some mistakes but showed great promise, reported to have made great improvements in the off season, has that "it" factor, etc."

We all saw how that turned out.

It's the same exact thing happening this summer except with Nuss. Maybe things will be different this time.

Eta: Personally I really hope they are. I think both Brennan and Daniels are very capable QBs, so if Nuss beats them out then I think LSU will be in a solid position at QB.

Had by far the best spring game, actual players vouching for him, clear disparity in arm talent with strength and ability to throw on the move.

People praising Brennan are stat gazing and forget that he spent the entire Ms state and vandy game throwing behind receivers and seeing ghost in the pocket.
