Fans will debate it for 8 months. But barring something unexpected, if Daniels returns he will be LSU's starting QB. I, like everyone else, loved what I saw Nussmeier do in the SEC championship game. However, I think coaches like what they know and what they can trust in a QB, and are reluctant to stray into the "unknown"...which is what starting Nussmeier would be since he has never started a college game in his life.

Next season ALL of the teams that finished ahead of LSU in the CFP rankings (Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee) will be replacing very experienced QBs. It is entirely likely Daniels would be the most experienced QB in the SEC going into next season and coaches tend to place a high value on experience. Particularly at the QB spot. If LSU were to choose to move on from Daniels they would essentially be giving up the experience advantage they have over every team in the league. I just don't see Kelly doing that.

LSU has played in 4 national championship games over the last 22 years. The QBs in those games:

1. RS Jr (Mauck)
2. RS Senior (Flynn)
3. Senior (Jefferson)
4. RS Senior (Burrow)

Nussmeier may very well be the best QB. I'm not at practice or in the film room daily. But the point is it is hard to see the coaching staff sit a 5th year QB who has started 40+ games in his career in favor of a QB who has never started a game. And despite what we may think on here, THEIR opinion is the only one that matters.

3. Senior (Jefferson)

dont care what anyone says, Lee got us to that game with his 7-8 starts...

and if you want me to point out the obvious, all of those QBs are throwing QBs... not running QBs

LSU doesn't beat Alabama without Jefferson at QB that night. Regardless, Lee was a RS Sr. The point is all of the QBs in those years were very experienced and coaches will generally err on the side of experience when choosing a starting QB.

It's not a fan's delimma. Trust that the coaches know more than the rant.

You’re either very disingenuous or very clueless about football. But I’ll play along for fun, Arkansas started the game with a controlled gap disciplined rush from DL while dropping the LB’s into slant areas and secondary play zone behind them. This, early in the game, led to JD not pulling the trigger because he thought everyone was “covered” because he wants Wr’s wide the frick open. This led to him holding the ball too long, trying to get out of the pocket too late and led to sacks. Once, Odom saw the reluctance of JD to throw, he adjusted some and went to blitzing the LB’s with zone and JD never read it and the sack fest increased. Thank goodness for HP40 and how well the defense played and the Arkansas QB playing equally as bad as JD. This is a very limited explanation or blueprint but the overall scope. So for those who are blinded by their unrealistic view of what JD can do as a QB, this is why people may be wanting one of the other QB’s. He’s limited and therefore limits the utilization of the talents around him and limits the offense as a whole.

I think you are talking out of your arse because you just typed a lot of stuff that claims the secret blue print is the d line maintaining gap integrity, backers dropping into flat and hook to curl zones and secondary playing zone behind it. You just described sound defensive play that is universal at every level and there is nothing unique about what you said in terms of creating game plan or how A&M and Georgia copied it.

It’s sounds like you are a guy who just watches the games on tv and listens to the announcers describe what’s going on

No, that’s exactly how easy it is to defend JD because of his limitations, deficiencies and reluctance to throw guys open or downfield. You asked for the blueprint and I gave it to you in layman’s terms and your poor feelings got hurt.
