Nuss Summed Up

sad but true. he does it on rollouts too when the first down is there for the taking with his legs and he throws one downfield. Even if he makes the throw, it allows the defense to ignore the possibility of him running.

Yup. It would be great to see him thin out the defense by making them defend more of the field.

I was thinking the same thing. There is a chance that they had some zone coverage behind him (I don't think there was a replay)

but he seemed open, it was way easier than the throw he attempted, and even if there were dudes there Taylor could fight for the yards

Instead he threw a low chance covered deep out that was incomplete...

Summer up - very average. He cannot carry the team and the team is not very good.

Why were our receivers not getting separation last night?

Nuss seems to have a receiver already picked out before the snap and he goes to him regardless if anyone else is open.

Yes, agreed. He has regressed over the past 3 games. We have to blame the coaching as well. Sloan needs to be relieved of the OC duties. I know the offense has flaws, but he is not putting Nuss or the offense in positions to succeed.

First year starter, he can learn from that. But with how flawed our team is, he has to make every play in order to give our team a chance to win. This is all coaching.

If he comes back he will greatly improve. He has had a better first year than Burrow and JD5, but our Coaching has been significantly worse.

At least we get to squash the "Nuss has to do everything" rhetoric. amazing how bad he is with plenty of time to make decisions compared to most quarterbacks.

Agreed, but I think we also need to bring in a legitimate competitor at qb in the spring. Can’t go into another season without someone who can challenge Nuss for the starting qb job. It’s not smart to put all of that pressure on an incoming freshman either
