Nuss is clearly hurt. CBK just keeps letting him get hit behind this poverty OL

Nuss isn’t hurt, that’s an excuse by BK.

Nuss has the yips. And he’s got the yips because our O-line is garbage and the play-calling is worse. Nuss can’t see the forest for the trees beyond one play at a time.

He has an abdominal injury as reported by many insiders.

He’s trying to play through it but it’s obvious he can’t make any deep throw down the sidelines

His only passes that look good are over the middle where he isn’t torquing his body

Flynn discussed this 2 weeks ago and said it makes perfect sense why he underthrew the LAtech INT. He can’t get enough into those types of throws

It’s a shame but they need to sit him

I don’t think he is that hurt. I just think the scheme and oline is so bad, especially in run blocking. The defenses have just sat back and dared him to throw. Nuss isn’t good enough to throw it all over the yard when Ds have no respect for our run game.

Then why has BK said twice this week that Nuss was fine? Why did they play him vs SouthEastern Louisiana instead of resting him? Why was not brought up at all this past week?

meanwhile BK has proven he will blame anyone and everyone instead of owning poor hiring/firing decisions. It’s a lot easier to blame your QB’s poor play on a mystery injury than own the fact that you should’ve fired Davis and Sloan after last year.

I don't know? Ask BK. He likes to lie a lot. You really believe what he's saying based on how he operates media like a politician? Maybe he has another serious injury that he doesn't want to disclose because if defenses know about it they're going to gun for him more.

this a problem. a very specific BK problem

Accuracy and decision making was much of his issues throughout the years. Velocity was never an issue even last season. Remember the passes thrown to Hilton in the bowl gane earlier this year? They had zip on them. These look like ducks and underthrows everywhere. There's clearly something lingering with these injuries he has limiting what he can do in this offense. It doesn't help the line can't protect well or establish a run game. It also doesn't help that we don't have an experienced enough OC to properly scheme around the players he has to generate a functioning offense.

When your OL has trouble protecting, what saves you is a QB with some mobility or a DT QB. We have neither at the moment. Nuss refuses to run the ball making defenses not respect it. They will continue to drop people in coverage. A QB who already has accuracy and decision making issues will be forced to throw perfect passes to accommodate that. Nuss can't do it. Doesn't help his velocity has dipped. Makes it worse. Then your rotation at RB is garbage. Until Durham is healthy, Zavion and Berry need to see the field period.

There are so many issues with the offense starting the the OL on down, but if Nuss truly has a lingering issue, his play is a disservice to the team as well as himself. Nuss obviously will say he will/can go. But as a supposed leader, sometimes you have to say hey my play is hurting my team right now, let me step back and do what I can to help MVB win us games until I'm able to get back. Since he's not doing this, BK needs to have the balls to sit Nuss. Because now the head coach is doing a disservice to both Nuss and the team by not giving them the best opportunity to win. You can't try to win with solely defense and very little offense to prove a point.

Something is off; he's not finishing his throws, which makes the abandonment of the run game even more confusing.

Either his abdomen issue is worse than they said or he has more injuries they did not disclose.

I suspect the knee injury I also impacting him more that is being said.
