Nuss Question

But what gives everyone the optimism that he’s going to be any better than the other top 100 QBs we’ve signed in the past? Such as Rettig, Harris etc.

You’re greatly underestimating system as it relates to QB development.

When you’re asked to throw 10-15 times a game (with 8/10 being play action) as opposed to a wide open spread attack, development is slower (or in some case never happens)

1. He won’t be handing it 40 times a game
2. The passing game involves more than single receiver / max protection routes

Pedigree. Coaching father. Plays in a tough league. Texas has a great summer 7 on 7 program.. Much better than Louisiana I guess not this year.

Nuss probably gets dinged a bit because he is 6 1 and 175. Presumably that changes. He and Max and Finley have two years to figure it out.

The answer is we will never know.. until he plays if he does. Max Johnson is no slouch. Neither is Finley. Who works the most or the most efficiently. Who handles the mental game.

Can LSU develop a QB. With Linehan and Ensminger and the offense we can.

Trust the coaches. There are no sue shots. Five stars like Freak Johnson and Russel Shepard have nice careers but get late round draft status. Then 3 stars like Justin Jefferson and Clyde Helaire are first round picks and Lloyd Cushinberry is an early third round selection.

Just hope you hit on more than you miss and hope you replace the ones you missed with even better players.

Remember the 5 star linebacker from Illinois Garret who couldn't handle the southern heat? Replaced him with Patrick Queen. How did that work out?
