re: For those that think Nuss has played "fine," go watch Flynn break him down on OTB

To be honest, I don't know how any QB other than a JD or even a Pavia, Mahonnes, could possibly be effective with this oline. Pass blocking grade was 40 for the entire line...much less for our tackles. And it is not even passing mis reads, which there were plenty, but the blocking and play design is just incredibly awful. They pointed out many of the play calls and design for player's job on each play, and it is incredibly awful. So is Nuss not playing great, no I agree with you, but there is no way to tell just how good Nuss is with the problems with the rest of the team, which doesn't give him the opportunity to succeed. Play calls, play designs, lack of even blocking the right person on any given play....all of it makes the QB job almost impossible. And add to that the pathetic routed tree in our passing game....really pathetic,
Nuss is not playing well, but imo, he is doing his job considerably better than anyone else of the offensive team.....and it all comes back to coaching which is beyond pathetic.....and Matt pointed it out quite clearly.

Sloan is AWFUL at getting the play in timely. Which in turn gives Nuss less time to make reads and move guys around. That has been a HUGE issue this year. Nuss is FAR from the problem with this team. He's about the offense's 5th biggest issue right now behind Sloan, O Line, Receivers dropping balls, and clock management.

Go watch the video. Nuss is pulling it and throwing the smoke screen against 5 man boxes. That's inexcusable. It does not take 15 seconds to identify a 5 man box. As Flynn and Hester state in the video, that ball should be handed off 100 out of 100 times.

Those other things are absolutely issues, and I'm not at all suggesting that if Nuss made the correct pre-snap reads the offense would suddenly be putting up 40 points a game. I'm just pointing out how poorly Nuss has been at the cerebral part of the game. Something you would expect from a freshman QB. Something that simply cannot happen from a 5th year QB.

He hasn’t shown any improvement since I first saw him play a few years ago. He still can’t get set to throw. He refuses to scramble for yards when the whole stadium can see it open. He never looks confident. A QB coach’s kid should be better this far in his career.

However, we have no real elite WRs. We have some speed guys that get open sometimes. Our OL is awful and injured. They don’t allow any play to develop. The comments this summer about us being better at the OL were laughable. We aren’t a very good team.

Matt Flynn who has probably spent a little more time in a film room and understands how to play the QB position better than 99% of the population.

This is 100% true, but it also means he is going to focus heavily on the QB and put more emphasis on everything the QB does.

Honest question, if we had last year's OL right now, would we be 5-2? If you answer is yes, then Nuss is the problem. If your answer is no, then you found the main issue.

huh? Have you seen this guy celebrate touchdowns? Celebrate jayden daniels? Some of yall say the stupidest shite

Please provide a list of QBs that have been successful with a bad OC, horrible OL and no run game.

A competent QB would fix 90% of the problems with this team. Nuss is just flat out bad

So he'd fix the OL blocking? If you say yes, if the QB was athletic, then tell me why Sellers, a Heisman hopeful sucks this season.

This O-line is garbage. Davis should have been gone long before this year.

The playcalling is shite - Sloan should never been given the OC duties

Nuss is not playing like a 5th year senior. His decision making has been bad, his pre-snap reads are bad, his post snap reads are bad, he is playing scared bc he gets hammered on most plays..

is this correct? if so, there is your answer for why this team and Nuss is what it is..

I have been a BK supporter.. this game changed that, i am done with him. i think one of either sloan or davis is gone after this year, if i had to guess, i would say sloan. IMO the entire Offensive staff needs to go.
