re: Kelly has to go after Malik Murphy, right?

Get better results with a transfer qb that’s a fact!

From 2021, yes. Two Heisman winners and Quinn Ewers who could win it next year.

2022 portal class was horrible and 2023 doesn’t look any better.

You’re an idiot man you probably should look at Florida st after Travis you indiot! You have to have a back up worth a shite! You Gonna rely on Rickie Collins ? Sure if you want to be Florida st go ahead!

What are you babbling about? FSU’s 2nd string QB won games for them last season when Travis was injured. He doesn’t suck. It was their 3rd stringer that was the issue.

CBK likes having a running QB. And after JD5 ….. Nuss should be very worried.

So what would you rather Kelly do? Go into next season with only one QB with significant experience? See some of yall haven't played sports so I get it...you're emotional about it and get in your feelings but I guarantee that Kelly spoke to Nuss from jump about this explaining to him of the importance to go into the portal for a QB to protect him. Nuss is going into next season with the job being HIS to lose. BUT he still has to EARN it. Seniority doesn't mean shite if you can't perform. And well we've seen Kelly give a lot of veterans PT who definitely shouldn't have so we know his loyalty to veteran experience. So there's nothing that should make me think that Nuss wouldn't start Week 1 unless he has a very very bad camp.

Every coach likes having a running QB as long as they can pass. If you have a choice between a QB who can just throw or a QB that can throw and run, you’re an idiot to not take the QB that can do both. It completely opens up the offense. But the key is they have to be able to throw 1st. And you’re seeing a lot more of those coming up because the more you see them in college and the NFL, the more guys who would have been WRs growing up 20-25 years ago, are being put at QB where they can affect the game more.

But 1) there’s more than 1 kind of running QB. Jayden Daniels is a fricking unicorn. I woke up at 4 this morning (on accident) and put on an LSU YouTube video in the background and started doing some work. The video ended and went straight to the LSU/Clemson NC game. I had to watch. I forgot just how much Clemson dominated the 1st quarter, and how much the game was in doubt so deep into the 2nd quarter. We had 6 total yards after our 1st 2 possessions. Burrow had like 36 yards passing after our 1st 3 possessions. Then he started hitting all these 9, 10, 20 yard runs to move the chains. Escaping impossible pockets, spinning around, and either running for yards or escaping the pocket and throwing to Chase on the run. Hit him for a couple 50+ yard passes down the right sideline. Wound up with like 250+ yards passing and 56 yards rushing at half. 2 passing TDs and 1 rushing TD on a QB draw up the middle. And we went from being down 17-7 to up 28-17 in like 8 game minutes. And almost all started (or continued) with Burrow’s feet. I don’t think Nuss has that, but he’s not Met, and there’s more than 1 way to skin a cat.

I think what Kelly really likes is a big, old, OL, with talented TEs. I am very interested to see how Kelly/Denbrock/Sloan change the offense next year. I think we’ll run the ball a lot, use 12 personnel a lot, and take advantage of that by being very play-action oriented. I think Nuss will hit on a lot of explosive plays, but not at the rate of Jayden, because I don’t think he’ll need to. We’ll be able to be more selective and set things up throughout the game. I’m not sure he’ll throw as much as Jayden, but he might have similar passing yards. BUT, he’ll have to prove he can extend plays and DRIVES with his legs. I think he’s a good enough athlete to. But Kelly and do have seen him enough the last 2 years to know if he’s got that in him. It will be obvious by who we go after in the portal.

I don’t think guys that can run that have multiple years of eligibility would be an indictment on Nuss. But if we sign a dual threat that’s either older than Nuss or has the same eligibility, that will speak volumes.if you can’t at least move the chains with your legs/feet a little bit, you’re behind, because most of the best teams have QBs that can.

I expect Kelly and co to do their due diligence and explore every QB in the portal. But I think Nuss is just athletic enough to go with his big arm and big balls, quite frankly—I think his “moxie” is one of his best traits. I expect him to be the QB in ‘24 and do well. But we don’t get to see him every day. If we sign somebody that’s a big enough threat that he enters the portal, I think it’s simply because we think that guy might open up the offense more. Which, depending on the progress of the defense, we may desperately need.

We’ll see. I think Nuss is our starter next year. But if he’s not, oh well. I hope he finds a better fit and balls out.

You sound like a troll

No, not yet. Audiobook, though. Call me, and I’ll read it to you.

According to the pay sites, they have been. The problem is the overwhelming majority of the QBs in the portal want to go to a place where the expectation is that the starting job is theirs to lose with not much competition in the way. And that won't be the expectation at LSU.

Read an interview he gave and he’s very clearly wanting a clear path to play. I don’t think he’s got any interest in competing for a job.

That’s where it gets tricky for the coaches is finding someone solid but also someone who is ok with maybe being a backup at the end of the day

1. Limited sample size but Murphy was very unimpressive in his starts this season

2. He is not a runner AT ALL which doesnt mean we wont look at a QB but considering his passing left a lot to be desired I dont know why we'd go after him
