re: Caleb Williams has been searching

He's a significantly more accurate passer than Williams. For me, accuracy would have to be a prerequisite to even think of recruiting a particular QB.

We could go on an extensive deep-dive comparing the two but I don't really feel like taking the time.

Williams has an extremely high ceiling and could be a great QB.

ETA: But I trust the coaching staff. They like Williams and Nuss so

People have been parroting that accuracy spiel with not one link to either’s 2019 numbers. I found their 2018 numbers and although their completion percentages were rounded to the same, Williams’ was a bit higher by a few 10ths of a percentage. Please provide proof of your claim Nussmier was “significantly more accurate” than Williams. People who claimed that in past posts have used “Nuss” 2019 percentage posted by someone on a pay site against Williams’ 2018 completion percentage. No one has ever linked either’s 2019 numbers. Otherwise it is just speculation not based on fact. Please post their 2019 actual numbers that you have based that accuracy conclusion on.

That extensive deep dive comparison you mentioned would be great because I am truly interested in the “Nuss” love by many. Maybe I am missing something. He is 6’ 1.5” 171lbs , the 11th rated Pro QB and 168 ranked player. For comparison Brennan was 6’ 3” 180, the 6th rated Pro QB and 152nd ranked player. And Miles’ numbers were exponentially better than “Nuss”’s numbers. You never answered whether you feel Nussmeier is better than Brennan and/or Johnson. And do you guys know something no one else, including the experts, knows?

Was Burrow a five star? What set him apart was his accuracy.
If as was posted, Nuss is very accurate, he may be the guy for this offense.

You are not actually using Burrow’s 2019 season for the proposition “Nuss” is the best choice for LSU, are you? Using that logic and not having to fall into QB miracle number two at LSU, google the number 1 rated DT QB over the last 10 years. The success rate is infinitely better than finding another overlooked and underrated Joe Burrow. That may not fit your fairytale scenario but has a much better chance of happening. You can’t find more than 2 top rated DT QBs in the last 10 years who did not have outstanding college careers.

Here is another granting “Nuss” the accuracy edge with no facts to back it up. Is it an assumption he must be more accurate? Do inaccurate QBs become 5 Star QBs?

I get why PSU would be attractive.

Could be the somewhat local kid staying home. If he went there Penn St would immediately become big 10 championship material.

If he actually did it and got them to a playoff even if they lost in the semis he’d probably be a god there.

He’s clearly doing his due process. If he thinks Peen State will better feature him than us than he’s less of a cerebral guy than I thought.

I think it simply depends on how we look this year. If we’re look the same or similar as we did last year (stylistically, not production) then he’ll still probably be interested.

as it is for most and Brennan was said to have great accuracy in high school. With all that supposedly great accuracy, he didn't start his first 3 years, and his accuracy has never looked great in any time we've seen of him (it looks okay though).

Three guys I thought were deadly accurate in high school by watching their tape and skill competitions were Haskins, Tua, and Fromm. I haven't watched Nuss yet, but I'm betting you are vastly overrating his accuracy.

Every year y'all have this QB that y'all overrate and overhype (Patterson was one year, Kiel was one another year, this past year was the guy who went to TAMU). Like I said I have yet to see Nuss so I won't say if he's great or not, but the way you said it makes me believe he's the next overrated QB for this board to fall over. I have seen Williams though and I can tell you without a second thought, that this guy is going to be amazing. He's not a polished product, but who is coming out of high school? This is a guy that I believe will start as soon as Brennan leaves, if he comes here.

Also Penn States OC Ricky Rahne left for Old Dominions head coaching job in December,

Not sure your point here, but Penn St took Minnesota OC, Kirk Ciarrocca, who is a huge upgrade. Maybe you should be more informed if you are going to talk shite to other posters.

LOL. Did you happen to watch Minnesota's offense last year? That offense with Penn St talent is just as explosive as ours. The fact you dont see why Caleb sees Penn St as a very viable option tells me you are not as cerebral as you think.

Williams had a 56% completion percentage his Fresh yr and a 52% his Soph yr. Couldn’t find Jr year on him.

Nuss had a 56% his Soph yr which was cut in half because of injury. 67% completion percentage his Junior year.

And then there are the highlights. Even in the highlights you can see the difference.

Also, Williams’ ratings on 247

If he doesn't choose us, it's his loss, and would be an absolutely terrible decision.
