I thought we were the greatest show on turf in 2013. Very welcomed.

I was led to believe that Nuss sucks though.

What’s interesting is Jefferson was the only QB that didn’t dramatically improve his second year.

2008 - Andrew Hatch - 6.3

This is surprisingly approaching average

No offense to the ratings of any of these. The LSU secondary in 2010-2013 was full of NFL players not to mention the dline talent. There were opportunities to wear out the opposing defenses those offenses faced with the exception of one school.

I’d actually be kind of curious to see Lee’s QBR from 2011.

He was probably a good play caller but his stunting of the QBs destroyed those few years. As soon as he was gone the effectiveness improved, and even though it became a strength in Mett’s second year as a starter the defense was shite at that point.

Do you see the 95 next to his name? Burrow and JD5 started to turn around before their last year begun. Nuss hasn't yet.

Anything less than Heisman sucks?

Crazy that he’s somehow above Flynn in ‘07. Just doesn’t seem right.

Does this take into account supporting cast?
The few things that really caught my eye:
Jayden's leap from '22 to '23. Wow.
Flynn's low rating. Would not have guessed that.
Etling was better than I thought.
Great work OP.
