Well what's even more unsustainable is having Nuss in to break the season record for pick 6's either. We're getting better and at least the coach realizes there is a problem along with Jayden's strengths. I know some people can't believe it, but the JD is the best quarterback on this team. Right now there is a huge gap between 1st and 2nd.

This.

Yes, it would be nice to see him be more willing to the ball out quicker or hang in the pocket just a beat or two longer to let a WR clear, but the flip side is he is not putting the ball in danger of a turnover with a poor throw. He's also routinely picking up 10, 15, 20 yards while NOT risking an INT.

Football is the most team reliant game. A QB can be great, individually. But if he is getting pressure up the middle or doesn't fully trust his protection, human nature is going to kick in and he will go into self-preservation mode. For a QB who isn't mobile, that is trying to get the ball out quicker or just throwing it away. For a mobile QB, he can run.

Daniels has two true freshman tackles. He has had a new OL combination in each of his ONLY 3 games (to date) at LSU. So I can see while he, right now, doesn't fully trust his protection and feels he has to get through things quicker with the fallback of "just take off" if his first read doesn't come open immediately.

The encouraging part in the MSU game is (1) he (and the offense) seemed to become more comfortable as the game went on and (2) LSU looks to have found its current starting 5 on the OL to build off of. I think people have to realize this is a team with many new players, coached by new coaches who, before the FSU game, never coached most of these guys in a game situation. There is no preseason in CFB, so the coaches and players are learning their strengths and weaknesses as the early games are being played.
