First of all that pic last night was beyond horrendous. We would have benched our high school QB if he would have made that throw. We came into the season talking about overall #1 pick and it’s been crickets ever since.

Secondly, he leads the SEC in least amount of pass yards attempted per pass. Something’s not right and it may be time to discusss if he’s hurt or he’s somehow regressed more in his 2nd year. No amount of Brian Kelly screaming can deny either one of those.

I believe Nuss thought the flag was on UF, which gave him a free play.

It’s perplexing. He just throws stupid passes sometimes. I guess we’ll just have to live with that. Prolly lead at least to two losses.

He was late to react on some throws in the middle of the field and then they got batted down. When he is able to deliver down the field, it’s been pretty positive results in the 8-20 yard range. He’s been off on deep balls.

I find that hard to believe given where the flag was thrown and his football lineage. But it’s definitely a possibility.

I can throw it away and get 3 or squeeze it into a tiny window and get a pic when everyone in the country is shitting on my ability as a top tier QB currently……

Nuss is so far away from being able to correctly identify a free play that he doesn’t even realize he’s lost. His football IQ is so far below that.

They've turned him into Derek Carr with the dink and dunk shite so far this season.

A pass rusher literally got tackled 2 yards away from him and he thinks he’s Aaron Rodgers after a hard count. Just terrible.

I think he might be having off the field problems that are affecting his game. Because he looks NOTHING like the same QB as last season. He has more weapons, and another year of learning the game, but he is struggling. And it can't all be on the o-line or the playcalling.

It’s not him! Kelly Absolutely Refuses to be aggressive on Offense. One drive all night that we played aggressive and took shots we went down and scored. Kelly’s postgame Bitchfest tells me all I need to know about who is calling plays!

He has the exact same issues as Carr. If we’re up by 17 points, the run game is working, and the pocket is clean he’s great. Close game, pass rush on him he folds. Pocket awareness goes out the window, runs backwards, throws off his back foot.

The only 2 “deep” balls thrown last night were a 23 yard TD and then another dropped right into Andersons hands that was dropped. They aren’t allowing him to attack or waiting until 3rd and 10 to do so. That’s the issue. When they let him come out and throw downfield on 1st down we have had success

I think there is an injury of some type. 0 deep balls last night and Kelly mentioned the pitch count right before season started. Something is off. Hope I’m wrong.

I trust Nuss but man. That trust isn’t building like I thought it would be after 3 game……Do we give Van Buren a series or two here and there to tell Nuss - like dude, get focused and perform better or we have to try out something new?

Also, I know we are struggling with Co-Offensive Coordinators. We can’t pay these players at this level and think this two headed approach is a Championship solution.

So he lobbed it directly to an opposing player? It was a horrible int on TV. Inexplicably bad.

Sorry he has thrown int's like this his whole career. I actually think he is ADD. He seems to lose focus sometimes.

Off the field problems??!! He’s a starting college QB from a football family with money. He hasn't earned the right to have off the field problems.
