it's a shame Purdue couldn't challenge LSU

Yeah, that Bama team. Weak as shite

His last 3 games last year against the good programs were not good

Okay..no go do the same and look at the last 7 or 8

Had Purdue challenged LSU people who have an axe to grind on JD would have criticized how close the game was.

LSU blows them out and the focus now shifts back to two games that he was injured and one game where he had the flu midweek.

I am not saying that the performances against Arkansas, Auburn and aTm (pre injury) don't matter but c'mon....you have to look at a bigger picture than just the game that align with your agenda

WEAK take. Terrible.

Anyone else noticed that after the Nuss initial TD drive Daniels started slinging it too?

I noticed that once LSU established their dominance up front and ability to run the ball at will, with no answer from Purdue whatsoever, the play calling loosened up all the way around on the offensive side.

This is an interesting melt.

Feel free to google “LSU vs Alabama 2022”

We needed more bitching about Daniels. Thanks for providing it.

Nuss spins it well and is a pure drop back passer. There are lots of guys who do that, but can't lead a team to victory.

Jeff George had as much pure arm talent as anybody in the hisory of this game. He had a cannon and could make all the throws. Off schedule, on schedule, it didn't matter. He looked spectacular, and was drafted as the #1 overall pick by the Colts in 1990. In short, he couldn't stop trying to force the ball into double coverage. He sucked. He threw for more interceptions that TDs.

In retrospect, George looked great in college against sub-standard teams, but could never win against he really good teams.

Is Nuss more like Joe Burrow or Jeff George?

Daniels is the "safe" option. He's not going to turn the ball over and he'll win the games he should win. LSU won the Natty in 2019 because they opened up the offense and took risks. Can you see Les Miles allowing Joe Burrow to make all those back shoulder throws when we were up by two touchdowns in the 2nd quarter? No. He would have resorted to smash mouth football and run out the clock for 3 quarters.

Which option is going to win us more games? Nuss is likely to have higher highs and lower lows in the passing game. Nuss will never be that guy who tuck it and run for 30 yards if nobody is open. Not only can Daniels do that, but he really improved as a passer as the season went on, and was nowhere near as badd as people him out to be.

Unless Nuss is the second coming of Joe Burrow, we are better off with Daniels, IMO. Burrow made a big leap from year 1 to year 2. I don't think Daniels will make that big of a leap, but I think he can make incremental leaps that make him more effective.

Quite frankly, more dual threat QBs have carried their teams to championships than pure passers. Tebow, Newton, Vince Young, Deshaun Watson, and even Matt Mauck have had great success as dual threat QBs.
