re: Tulane QB Darian Mensah to the portal

Army has a top ten defense in the country by the way.

Mensah is the best qb prospect in the portal and has more potential than Nuss. Nuss had a few good games and a few bad games. He’s not a slam dunk either lol

The portal just opened and you idiots act like he’s fricking Cam Ward.

The QB window shoppers here need to understand that you don’t shuffle them on purpose unless your starter leaves if he’s good or better. For all of his flaws, Nuss is good enough that continuity with the offense is an advantage over what may be a small amount of upside. It takes time for any new QB, even a good one, to get in sync with the rest of the offense. And you’re talking about him adjusting to moving from Tulame’s AAC schedule to a real one with tougher teams than a middling K-State, .500 OU, and Memphis and Army.

Otherwise, you frick around and end up like OU this season, with a 5 star bust on his own way out the door while your former starter that you nudged out is playing for a title. Or it could just be like Ohio State- overpaying to swap QBs for almost the same results while your former starter has a better year away from you. The later is more likely, but don’t pretend like swapping QBs just for the hell of it is a great idea.

If you want better QB play- fix the fricking run game. Nothing will improve until that happens, however it happens. Even a QB with legs isn’t going to walk in here and be Jayden Daniels and improve that all alone with the same playcalling and OL inconsistency.

Well no shite Notre Dame’s o line probably out weighs army d line by an average of 50 pounds. Still a good defense

For the AAC, which isn’t saying anything. Memphis had a defense almost as poorly ranked as LSU’s last season and still beat Tulame on their home field. And they did it by shutting Tulame down for 3 quarters and building a lead. Mensah didn’t do shite in that game in the first half and got all of his stats playing from behind.

58th best defense in the country per FEI

They don’t suck but certainly not one of the 10 best defenses in the country.

He sucked versus Army

Isn’t he in his first year starting? He has some room to improve. Overall not bad for a freshman.

This kid would be fun to watch in Freeze’s offense at Awwburn or Riley’s offense at USC

USC might be his landing spot. Isn't Mensah from SoCal?

Why?

b/c he's not a fricking statue, back foot throwing QB... look , we have to ride or die for Nuss, but that don't mean you can't be honest about his flaws... i'm praying this MF learns how to not throw off his back foot and when to tuck and run over the offseason, and that he blows it the frick up, don't get me wrong...

but i just prefer what Mensah can do athletically at QB vs. what Nuss can... i don't think the passing ability is quite the same, but it ain't far off, but athletically, and what can win games in the SEC, a mobile QB that can also sling it, Mensah has an edge over Nuss, and really it's not that debatable...

I thought he’s already committed to Duke
