Can Nuss do what JD and Burrow did? The second season

No chance.

Time to move on the the younger Tigers

Yes. Add 10 lbs and do some speed training and leg work

Posted in another thread, as well, but didn't Daniels and Burrow have the advantage of being early college graduates and could focus majority of their time on football and becoming better QBs?

Is Nuss on track to graduate on time or early?

His supporting cast needs improvement if he is going to do that

There is a chance. Most people will say no. He’s as int prone as JD was “not throwing it at all” prone. I was always one to give JD year 2. I think nuss will be much better with a year of competition under his belt, IF we can assemble an O line and have a run game. Not many qb’s are going to be successful having to shoulder the load almost very game. Yes his decision making must improve. But if JD can go from Uber conservative to gun slinger dropping dimes I think Nuss can make a big leap next year. Hopefully he’s fully healthy.

No. Doesn’t have the moxie

Improve? Certainly. Win the Heisman? That’s a big stretch, but if they improve the talent around him who knows.

He will be better next year. I’d bet any amount of money on that assuming he stays healthy

If you mean...can he improve a lot between his first and second year starting? Yes, absolutely.

If you mean, can he account for 5000+ yards and 50+ TDs? Well, maybe.

That'll depend largely on how well the team replaces 4 or 5 starters on the OL, is Sloan still calling plays or someone new, and will he have anything remotely close to Chase/Jefferson or Nabors/Thomas Jr. level receivers at his disposal.
