Nuss’s deep balls are so arse

This feels like a reaction to the under throw INT yesterday and the lack of shots last week (which was 100% tied to gameplan given their two high look).

Nuss threw a ton of very nice deep balls in 2024. Unless he’s hurt I don’t see this being a problem moving forward.

And to the multiple poorly thrown balls to the deep sideline last week and the year before. It’s for sure the weaker part of his game. He has a quick release, and incredible anticipation. But on the these deep balls, imo he’s putting a ton of air under them and throwing off his back foot.

Yeah his deep ball is usually pretty good. The one last night was buns, though

So what is he good for? He even sacks himself.

Footwork issues cause most of his issues

I’ve never seen one remotely close to as bad as the one last night

I feel like the first interception made him play hesitant the rest of the night and that's not really his style.

Nuss had 2 TDs flat dropped last night and arguably that one with Hilton crossing right to left was yet another (included the infamous Hilton early jump).

It’s weird to me how his balls seem to rise and float out of his hand, almost as if he released it like a submarine pitcher or something. It’s odd. And he is so indecisive with his throws that they often end up being into coverage. Additionally, he is often reckless with his throws. The quick slant that was dropped last night early on was because he left Thomas hanging out to dry when he should have thrown it low and slightly behind his route on that pass instead of leading him. And yes, he sacks himself often lol

All that said, I’m glad he is our qb from a leadership and heart standpoint, and he will still end up having numbers that will have him in NY at end of season

They seem to whimper out on the way down. They have no velocity to them - little ploppers. I remember a reporter asking Kelly about them mid last year if there was some sort of mechanics issue and Kelly said potentially. Just seems strange because his arm talent is so good and you see it on his midrange balls.

Blame this on Sloan like 70% here do. One clown here says fire Sloan because Moore got hurt. The same idiots who wanted to fire O and Ensminger. Then they got butt fricked when O and Ensminger brought us the Natty, a Heisman QB, and one of the all time great college football teams ever. They knew nothing then and know even less now. Sloan didn't miss run blocks, throw bad passes and not tuck and run to keep drives going.
