So are you going to show full quotes or just pick and choose what you want to create a narrative? Dude you aren’t fooling anyone…

Oh I’m sorry he got 5.2% of the 1st-team reps. So with nuss being out this would’ve been the perfect time to get closer to 50-50 as far as splitting the reps, but that’s not remotely close to what happened. Why?

So what’s the rant gonna do whenever Myles does go with the 1s for majority of practice? Write him off some more? Come up with some excuse?
That’s ironic considering the amount of copium and mental gymnastics going on by the Brennan brigade.

Full quotes, what did I leave out that changes anything? That's direct from the advocate article about Daniels like two sentences apart. It's shite writing and reveals nothing about how Daniels is progressing.

I'm not talking bad about Daniels. It's the crap these writers are putting out.

I’m on “whoever is the best QB, plays” brigade. I just think it’s foolish to say this qb is starting a week into practice when there’s been no honest sign of that. I trust the coaching staff to make the best decision.

CBK gave us the pecking order today - he said that Nuss would've gotten reps with the 1's today over Daniels if he hadn't been hurt. This means that the current pecking order is:

1. Nuss
2. Daniels
3. Myles
4. Walker

I can't say with conviction that Myles looks better than Walker right now, so you maybe could swap the order of those 2 - I'm not 100% certain

All of you dead set on cheerleading for one guy over another can frick off. Nothing but a bunch of adults indulging in high school-level drama over media takes.

Accept the fact that whoever starts vs FSU will likely not start every game this year. Hopefully we don’t have 3 different starters this year, but the last two seasons should be ample evidence that it can happen. Whether due to injury or poor play, odds favor is not having one QB start wire to wire. None of them has an overwhelming advantage of both talent and experience and we’ve seen proof that all three can suck balls when they’re off. ALL of you cheerleaders are likely to be disappointed at some point this season.

Drop all the ridiculous bullshite and just let it play out.

You act like every team has multiple starters at QB every year. Just because we went through the ringer the last two seasons, doesn’t mean we will definitely be seeing multiple QBs start games this year.

What are you basing this off of? I have a great feeling that the winner of this qb race is going to be deserving and will excel on the field. I think CBK's guy will have a great season and there's no reason he shouldn't start every game

Kelly coming in with a plan and more organization than we’ve seen since 2004 doesn’t change the fact that this is a transitional roster facing a tough schedule. I doubt any of these QBs is really ready to lead this team through this slate.

The best we can hope is that no one gets lost to injury and the backup can always be ready to step in if needed. These guys are going to have some games where they aren’t very good, and Kelly has shown over his entire career that he will pull and rotate guys if they struggle. He did it all last season at ND.

Why? What have you seen on the field from each of these guys in the last year that tells you they are ready to attack the best defenses in the SEC? Go watch Daniels whenever he played Utah. Brennan in the 1st half vs State in 2000. Nuss in his one start last year. They have all had games not that long ago where they were flat out bad. And none of them has ever shown the kind of leadership and intangibles Burrow did even when he struggled at times in 2018. Hopefully someone emerges by mid season and takes control of the job, but no one has done that yet. Factor in a new system with new terminology for all and it’s not a recipe for great success out of the gate.

That aside, I’m not convinced a guy like Daniels survives running as much as he typically has in the SEC. Just look at how Matt Corral broke down as last season wore on. The further they got into the season, the more he had to run it himself and the more he got pounded. He was a shell of himself by the Egg Bowl. Nuss isn’t a big kid either and it’s going to take several games for the O Line to gain consistency. Our QBs are going to take a lot of hits in some of these games. Injury is as likely to cause one of our guys to miss a start as iffy play for a game or two.

You guys can dismiss, but we don’t have a stable full of 5-star QBs like a few schools do right now and we have a lot of unknowns and uncertainty. Odds are strong there will be some bumps in the road along the way.

I agree that it's going to take the o-line time to gel and there will be growing pains early, but I think Nuss is going to start every game this season. All indications right now point to him being the starter. I think he starts and we beat Florida State and after that happens then it's going to be hard to pull him from the game and bench him for Daniels. I think CBK and Denbrock know what they're doing and they're not going to do anything to get Nuss killed, they're not going to have him run the ball 20 times a game. According to his teammates and Joe Sloan, Nuss has absolutely shown leadership and intangibles similar to Burrow in 2018, you can tell by the way the players talk about him and rally around him. We saw flashes of Nuss' potential last year, and he can definitely be electric for us, he just has to make good decisions with the football

I just don’t buy the coaches are shutting down the battle, in their minds, 2 days into padded practice


You don’t think Kelly with all his attention to detail knows who’s done what work with who this off-season? Its not just based on 2 days of fall practice. It’s been widely documented by both players and media that Nuss and Daniels have put in extra time with these WRs and Myles has not.

I like Nuss and hope he succeeds here. That said, I was adamant that not playing him last year was a mistake. Then when he did play, we saw him struggle a lot with decision-making. He wasn’t ready and there’s no guarantee that he is now.

As for the leadership thing, we’ve heard that before about a lot of past QBs coming out of camp. We haven’t SEEN it with any of them. I haven’t been critical of Nuss for backing away from the Texas Bowl the way many here have, but that was an opportunity for him to step up and lead that he didn’t take on. I’m still not going to knock him, but because he didn’t, all we have is camp talk about this and no real evidence.

My concern is that all of our QBs have glaring flaws and development takes time. That’s why I don’t expect someone to really grab hold of this job until mid season.
