I would love to have Pratt next year over Nuss.

Goodness gracious this is a terrible take. For one thing, while pratt is good, he's not exactly facing a murderer's row of opponents. He's in a tier of QB that you'd love to bring in if you're a P5 team without any QBs on roster that you like. But he's not in the tier of QB for whom a P5 team runs off a guy they like.


And Nuss is not just a guy this staff likes, he's a guy this staff LOVES. We liked him so much that we were willing to let our highest rated QB in years walk to a division rival. There was a lot of talk this offseason from a lot of people who know their shite that LSU may have been entering the year with the two best QBs in the conference. Nuss is not your average backup; he's a guy who can step in and be a stud right away. They're not going to run a guy like that off for a guy like Pratt.


And all of that is even ignoring the human and appearance element of it all. Nuss has stuck around through thick and thin, and I ***promise*** you we recruited him HARD this past offseason to keep him out of the portal - because there was no shortage of major programs that wouldve been over the moon to pry him away from us. You don't pull out all the stops to keep a kid around and then push him out the very next offseason, before he starts a single game. You especially don't do that when his family has legit football connections. Because not only is it a dick move to a kid who has been loyal as frick, it is TOUGH to explain to recruits if the outcome is anything other than Pratt playing like a superstar and nussmeier sucking arse wherever he winds.


Again: Terrible, terrible take.
