re: At what point do you pull the plug on JD and let Nuss get some starting experience?

Nuss will never start a game at LSU. Book it

He already has. The only way he starts this year is if check down daniels gets hurt.

Boutte is also not making plays he should.


He has dropped so many catchable balls.

I’m tired of him getting a pass because Daniels isn’t great. Boutte isn playing like a future insurance salesman not a future FIrst Rounder

Incorrect. Nuss has come in for mop up duty in 7 games in 2 years. 55% completion rate 3 td 4 int. And this came against powerhouses such as Southern, New Mexico, and McNeese. He threw 2 picks against southern and went 3-10 passing against mcneese last year. The hype for nuss is completely unwarranted and he has shown nothing to prove he is a better option than daniels

This I agree with...he has a poor attitude. I get it, he doesn't want Daniels QB because he knows he wont put up numbers...as you prepare to head to the draft he wanted big numbers and knows Daniels doesn't offer that. Still, he has to show character and play hard ...teams will understand the QB issue

Take him out for Nuss & we lose a big part of our offensive production.

Or, just a thought, put Nuss in as QB and leave JD in as a gimmick back. He can run, he can throw (somewhat), can he catch? He won't block, however (unless you want to see him get folded in half by a DE).

Yeah, I know, downvotes ahoy. But whatever - talented, athletic QBs that switch positions are pretty prominent in the NFL lately (Taysom Hill and Travis Kelce come to mind). And no, JD is NOT built like either of those tanks, but for what he's skilled at he's got the right physique.

In the right spot I think he could be a very dangerous player. And, truth be told, it might be the only way he even gets a sniff of making it to the NFL.

It'll never happen, but daydreams (and daydrinking) are good.

If you have a 70% completion percentage and yet fail to score, is a 70% completion percentage that beneficial? I’m not saying Nuss is 100% the answer but what I am saying is that JD is 100% not the answer. He’s had 3 years that proved it. How can a school like Bama roll in a top QB and they look all American when they play, ie Tua and Bryce but for some reason LSU feels obligated to redshirt a top QB recruit like Walker. If he’s the answer, why wasn’t he the answer from day 1? Both Walker and Nuss have the ability to run. It’s not like they are statues in the pocket. They both give you a better passing ability over JD. I’ll take 55-60% completion percentage if it means more points and more explosive plays. Teams, especially SEC teams, know the playbook on how to play against JD. It won’t get any better, JD seems to regress with every SEC game that’s played.

I think you only put Nuss in if you think one of two things.

1) He gives you a better chance of winning.

2) He is the absolute future of the program.

I don't think the staff believes either of those things are true. Wouldn't shock me if he isn't on the team next year and we roll with Walker Howard next season and bring in another vet through the portal behind him. Just my opinion though. I would have played him against Tennessee in all honesty. I like Daniels for the most part, but he does some things that are fairly inexcusable for a QB with as much game experience as he has.

This

I'll be honest but with this year it was the perfect opportunity to just simply play a 2 QB system.

1 per half or once they get through x amount of possisions.

This is what should have been done if it truthfully was "that close" of a race.

Nobody knows what upside with Nuss because he hasn't been given the playing time that JD has been given. I'm not saying he's better than JD, I'm saying, at what point is it time to give someone else a shot at improving?

JD has shown little to no improvement.
