re: Does anyone who saw Nuss play last night

Also I tend to trust the judgement of the coaches that watch these guys everyday over fans, especially since it is so unusual for fans to clamor for the back up QB

Why the "clamor" for the backup QB as you say. Are all of these fans simply ignorant or retarded? Are coaches inherently infallible? The QB is the most important position by far. Having someone who understands the position actually playing it is important. No? JD5 has a very limited understanding of things. LSU needs much better QB play.

Daniel's is an average passer with elite running ability. Daniel's was the right choice to start the year with the oline issues and really did nothing to lose the job. Nuss would be be a much better option to get the ball downfield, but he makes some poor reads. Not sure if it's over confidence or lack of playing time. The oline play has improved. We need someone to get the ball to the wr in space. Whoever that is.

Usually yes, or to be more polite fans impatient and unaware of all the facts. It’s also human nature to assume if one thing doesn’t work that something else would, when in reality that’s not necessarily the case.

Of course not but they are professionals that work with the players daily. They also have everything at stake where as fans are just emotional observers.

So here you are proving the point about fans being retarded To say Daniels has a “limited understanding of things”. What are you basing this on? Your extensive experience with him? With coaching QBs? You’re nothing but a fan pissed off when his team loses. Daniels played poorly against A&M and Arkansas while Nussmirer played well for a half in a blow out loss where we threw a lot (never mind Daniels was also throwing reasonably well in the first half.

I don’t think Nussmirer beats Bama and it’s hard to argue with how Daniels played vs Florida and OM. Burrow is not coming back.

That is a separate argument. Daniels is certainly not elite and definitely has flaws, that doesn’t mean the back up who could not beat him out in camp is the answer. To get back to championship contention we need better play at a lot of positions

So, what makes everyone here think Daniels won't improve in the areas he is lacking? Daniels had a better season than Burrow did in 2018. Burrow made a nice leap in 2019. Daniels also obviously improved just from last year at ASU.

---

Not completely separate as Nuss, last I checked, is on the roster but got next to 0 playing time while all of us watched 5 bounce on his toes then bail a clean pocket often getting sacked 43 times in fact. Maybe the coach should get the backup some meaningful snaps knowing his starter is limiting the offense tremendously. Maybe BK already knows that 5 will be next year's starter and Nuss is gone.

We shall see.

I know we have an OC and a passing game coordinator (QB coach) but could CBK also bring in Brees / Favre / Marino for a week and coach Nuss on accuracy and Daniels on anticipation / reading defenses? I recall Marino was criticized for over-trusting his arm which made him throw into tight windows and give up picks. Favre was a gunslinger that eventually adapted to the NFL. Brees can teach quick release and accuracy. I know this is all “obvious” and maybe you can’t teach accuracy but hell, why not try?

All I can say is that you never know until you try.

Is it?
