re: Garrett Nussmeier just moved into 3rd place for single season passing yards.

Burrow was throwing to Moss, Jefferson, Marshall, and Chase, and handing the ball to Clyde Edwards-Helaire.

Daniels was throwing to Nabers and Thomas.


Nuss is throwing to ????

Three weeks ago I was on the "If Nuss had a good OC, he would be in the Heisman talk".

After his horrid decision making in the past three games, I let off of that. After last night, I have to roll back to it.

With a decent OC, he would be solid. But, our OC is garbage, so...

I think Lacy is serviceable but he doesn’t have that ‘wow’ or ‘it’
_____________

Don't see Lacy this way. Lacy has a few wow moments, but lacks consistency. Too many drops. Doesn't have a good football IQ. He will run a 3 yard route on 3rd and 5. He goes out of bounds when we need the clock to keep running. Lacy has good skills, but is not a WR1.

I’m still on the Nussbus a lot more than others here. But this stat is fairly misleading because of the number of attempts. Nuss is not in the top 100 in yards per attempt. LINK

Edit: CFB nerds reporting him as 70th in the country in yards per attempt LINK

Well, this is false.

Lacy has obviously had issues with drops, but he is also always wide the frick open lol.

Now that's hyperbole.

Lacy had a TD drop vs USC, at least another this season (I can't recall which game) and one last night. I get on some plays the DB gets a hand on his arm, but good WRs hold on to the ball. He's also notorious for dropping easy passes as well. Did it when JD was here too. Lacy doesn't have breakaway speed, hasn't shown great YAC (although I will say he hasn't had enough opportunities) and doesn't show the ability to make contested catches. He's been a good route runner, which is probably his best attribute.

We’ve already established weeks ago Tigerdroppings does not know:

-what a drop is vs a PBU.

-And what constitutes a WR as being “open”.


Of course there is some hyperbole there saying he is always wide open. He’s not on every single snap. There’s a reason he has 25 more targets than the next closer guy, though.

I do not get how people don't understand the concept of Yards per Attempt being the most important metric any QB could have

This is also the first season Nuss has been the starter, Jayden had 4 starting seasons prior to 2023 Heisman season. Do not get how people don't understand the concept of starting experience

Nuss passer rating is 136.3 before tonight. Jayden ended the year at a 208.0 rating. That trails Jayden by over 70 points.

What a ignorant response.
Daniels was a 5th year starter with two WR's, first round draft choices, now starters/stars of their NFL teams .

JDs first year passer rating was 144 which was actually his fourth year as a starter. This is Nuss first year.

JD - 4th year starter first at LSU
Passing - 2913 17 TDs
Completion % - 68.6
Rating - 144

Nuss - 1st year starter
Passing - 3458 23 TDs
Completion % - 63.2
Rating - 137

Nuss has minimum 2 games left and he is way ahead of JD in terms of QB development.
