Why would he leave and start over when the job is his after next year? He will be taking over for JD with 2 years left, if not sooner, due to JD's durability issues with his playing style. Howard needs two more years to sit too, and if patient, could be a good one for us post-Nuss.

Sounds good in theory. Kids these days usually do not prescribe to it. I think Howard needs to put on some weight. I don’t think he would want to sit for 3 years. Maybe I am wrong though. I hope I am wrong.

Good thing is nuss’s dad knows a lot about developing QBs and that it doesn’t happen overnight. Versus some dads who think natural talent shines day one or that their kid should get the most money immediately. Hoping some good advice keeps his talented son here.

Daniels has 1 more year and Nuss has chance to take the lead. Would be stupid to leave.

If this happens then Howard will leave. There’s no real scenario that they all stay. I don’t think Howard rides the bench for 4 years.

The biggest argument for staying imo is simple, wait a year, maybe less if you beat JD or he gets hurt, and you get the keys to one of the best cars in the race. Why go drive a Datsun when the keys to a Porsche are waiting to be picked up? Patience young men.

I'm no fan of Nuss because of his quitting on the team for the bowl but I'll support him if hes here. Let's see what hes really made of.

He'll contribute a ton this year and is 1st in line for next. We should be legitimate CFP contenders. Plus, his teammates respect him, the fans like him and he's got solid NIL contracts.

Unless we bring in some 5* super hero with a cape, it would be crazy to consider other options.

Both Nuss and Howard can continue to sharpen their skills while knocking out a lot of classes. It could prop both of them up for circumstances like Burrow had; students of the game during their starting QB years.

I totally disagree in this era. It’s a different world. He should go where he can start now.

He's one play away from starting. That could happen in the first game. Some QB's have made a career out of understanding this concept.

I think it depends on how things look going into the spring. If they are telling Nuss that he will get actual playing time then I'd stay. But if it is looking similar to last year, then it would probably be smart to leave, especially if it looks like Walker will end up passing him up. At the end of the day, he needs playing time in order to make it to the next level.

It’s going to depend on what Nuss’ priorities are. Does he value immediate playing time over everything else, or are winning and situation a factor? What is his relationship to the staff? If he’s close to Denbrock and Sloan and feels like they are helping him develop, that could be a major factor. If he doesn’t have much of a relationship with them, it would make it easier for him to leave. There’s no way for us to know any of that.

Another factor is the advice that Nuss will be getting. With a lot of players, you don’t know who is in their ear. Is it a former coach? A family member who means well, but doesn’t know what they are doing? A hanger-on looking for a quick handout?

With Nuss, we know who he’s getting advice from, and his Dad IS an expert. If he feels like LSU is still the best situation for his kid, that may not be the deciding factor, but it will go a long way. If he believes another situation is better, it certainly won’t help us. But at least he’s an authority who will give his kid informed advice instead of serving some outside agenda.

This is what people don’t realize with Nuss. All he needs is one strong year putting up numbers which he will get to do in 2024 if not sooner. We almost got in the playoffs this year with a bunch of transfers and freshmen. By 2024 we will have a damn good OL and the team should be very talented overall. Nuss gets the keys in 2024 and should get a ton of good coverage which will make him a high pick. It’s a good bet by Nuss to hang around another year imo.

I don't see the doom and gloom so many do over Nuss as its Howard that is the bigger unknown. He has 2-3 years to wait and he will have new competition coming in behind him every year. Nuss is in a great position to be a starter for 2 years on a top ten team.
