He not going to all of a sudden be able to read the field. He isn't even trying to stretch the field. But sure. He's good enough to keep you losing 2-3 games a year.

You do realize that compared to where we were before BK took over, only losing 2-3 games a year is damn good. Most people who know football said it would be at least 2024 at best before we were competing for any kind of championship again. Orgeron fricked us over bad.

Daniels is not a superior QB by any means. He’s also not the worst QB we’ve ever had by a long shot. In fact, you’d be hard pressed to find more than maybe 3 QBs better than him that LSU has had in the last 20 years. Off the top of my head, there was Burrow (obviously) and Mettenberger (arguably).

If JD is going to be the starter next year, the entire offseason needs to be about him working on read progression, Trusting receivers, and to stop thinking that running is his best option.

I’m not 100% read up on his history, but I’d be willing to bet that throughout his career until now, he was probably the best athlete on his team. He WAS the offense until now. That’s hard to overcome for a lot of players once they’ve had that responsibility (and attention as well though I don’t think JD is intentionally trying to be selfish with the ball, I think he’s just used to it because of his history).

Bottom line, Nuss is probably not our answer unless he gets a lot better than he’s been. Our other options are Howard (who is supposed to be really good but we’ve had plenty of QBs who were “supposed to be good” that really weren’t) or find another in the portal (which may not be a terrible idea).
