This is an opportunity to see what you actually have in Nussmeier.

Coaching staff should protect Jayden and his bright future by giving him this week off to make sure he is fully recovered. That young man is going to be a big time Pro and you have to make sure that you preserve that.

Let Nuss get all of the practice snaps, build a game plan around him as the QB. And let him rip vs Florida.

If he's good, awesome, you know what you have to work with next year.

If he is not good, then maybe you know you have to start working on the transfer portal to provide competition in Spring ball.

Florida’s secondary isn’t exactly scary, Nuss should be fine if JD5 can’t go

Honestly, I want to see Jayden Daniels keep playing. He's special and I honestly don't think playing against Florida, Georgia State, and Aggy will do much.

I think him taking 90% of the reps all offseason and into next season will be better for him.

I am 100% fine with Nuss playing against Georgia State and the bowl game tho.

This season become a disaster with losses to Florida who is fricking trash and to Aggy who is maybe one step above trash.

I suspect the coaches already know what they have in Nuss.
The notion that we play him to satisfy your curiosity about what next year will look like doesn't sound like good football strategy.
Play to win, provided we can do so without endangering JD.

I like this take a lot more than some I have seen. If JD is completely cleared, he should and will play. If there is any doubt, play Nuss and we actually will get a full meaningful game with him at QB1. He will make mistakes though and people on this board are not ready for that. Does not make him a bad QB but touch and comfortability will take reps.

The coaching staff threw JD back in the game after 1 play. Still not convinced that was with medical staff approval.

BK will play him and I doubt JD takes himself out.

I guess I agree, but I feel like if Jayden goes off the rest of the year he still has a small Heisman shot.

The Heisman is worth the risk for what it could do to his life long term if he’s cleared.

Agree with pretty much everything you said. Only with one caveat. Jayden may still have a realistic chance to be one of the players invited to New York for the Heisman. The three losses have obviously clouded that and likely made winning it a big reach. But missing a game might derail any chance he has to be one of the finalists. So if he can play and is physically able, and wants to (which I'm quite sure he would), you owe it to him with all he's done to keep this season afloat to let him play. But for the reasons you said, it would be very beneficial to see Nuss play for next year.

Kind of.

I think it's the beginning of getting Nussmeier ready for next year. He's going to struggle to some degree for a bit. We need development and an offseason to hopefully give him a chance to hit the ground running next year.

You can make a pretty good argument that it's in everyone's best interest that we don't see Daniels again.

Nuss is a really good QB, just needs PT.

He can throw any pass, he can move a bit, and he can throw "on the run" which is a rare trait. And, he's not afraid of big moments as you can easily see when he replaces JD. In fact I think he relishes the big moment...

I honestly would rather JD sit this game and maybe next then come back for A&M.
Let him get fully healthy

The coaches already know what they have in Nussmeier. They see him in practice every week. If he can't make the right reads in practice, as he certainly can't in spot duty, then he is not very good. And if he can, then they know they have their guy, and they will get him ready in the Spring and Fall. In the mean time, he's seen enough action that he won't get stage fright against USC.

I want to see Daniels play the rest of the season. I want him to continue to rise up the ranks of LSU history. I want him to continue to put elite tape out there for the NFL. I want him to win whatever awards he can since he's basically out of the heisman race. I want LSU to do right by him and by the team and play him, if he is ready to go.

Nuss has the next 2 years to play. Nuss has played more than any LSU backup QB in recent history. Kid has 174 passes over the last 3 years. Brennan didn't have half of that before he started and he lit up his first 3 opponents.

Not a bad idea to start Nuss vs Florida and Georgia State.

Daniels back for A&M. We already know Daniels is a baw. He has nothing else to prove.


**would love to see daniels back this weekend

I agree. I hope we dont rush Jayden back if hes not 100% ready. This would be the perfect game to see what we have in Nuss by letting him start and finish this game. Florida isnt elite but would be a nice challenge
