re: Daniels staying has nothing to do with Howard

Next season will be a repeat of QB play from this past year.

So we will beat Bama and win the west 2 years in a row? I’ll take it.

Nuss will still be on the team in 24’. This is the OP’s point.

Sure, and there hasn't been a more logical or factual opinion offered to counter.

The logical explanation is that Howard is just a spoiled brat who thinks he’s better than he actually is and should be starting over two QBs who have proven themselves to both be better options currently than he is.

Reality is, if JD had left, Howard would have been number 2 and probably (but not guaranteed) would still be at LSU.

But one could also make the argument that if Nuss had not looked as good as he has the past few games, Howard might be more confident about beating him out and would have stayed even though JD returned. You could make the argument that given how well Nuss played, Howard now realizes that Nuss will most assuredly be the starter for the following 2 years after JD leaves making it 3 years before Howard has any real chance of being the starter.

In my opinion, Howard left because of a combination of all 3. He’s a spoiled brat who thinks he should be playing, JD cane back, and Nuss is looking like a potentially good QB.

From a team still rebuilding from the decimation that the dipshit shrimp boat captain left it in? You bet. Especially given that one of those losses was to the national championship winning team in the SEC championship. I also don’t think we lose 4 next year. I think 3 is the max we lose next year.

I'm going with that Howard felt he couldn't beat out Nuss and possibly thought that even Collins might pass him up.
And we have another top QB prospect coming in the next year.

I'm with the Kim Mulkey concept when Kramer was considering transfer after his sophomore year. If you're good enough to play here, then stay, if you're not you need to transfer.

I have no problem with a player who has given it there all, but realizes starting at LSU is not in the cards for them, but wants to play.

Honestly, who gives a shite why the little fricker left. He’s of no concern to LSU anymore. The odds are not in his favor that he will be a great QB (given that there are so few that do make a significant impact in the NFL).

Nuss is homegrown talent

Brether I lose no sleep losing a QB. This is what happens to good teams that recruit well. LSU can add one just as easily as they lose one.

If the defense and special teams play as badly as they did in those losses this year, then no QB on our roster is preventing LSU from having 4 losses again.
