Has it ever occurred to anyone that the reason JD is the starting QB is because….

He was convinced to come here by BK and BK has a lot riding on him being successful? It’s hard to imagine that there is that much separation between the two QB’s. Nothing about JD’s history screams successful QB.
Nuss wasn’t BK’s recruit. The fact that BK doesn’t even go to Nuss in obvious situations makes me think it’s a pride thing with him. Just like the 4th quarter in the FSU game where you had to revert to passing down the field, something Nuss is obviously better at, and he doesn’t even get the opportunity.
JD continues to play the way he has always played. His style makes a defending team easy to game plan against him. You can basically remove the middle of the field, past 15 yards, he will never throw there. That then allows your LB’s, who routinely cover the middle, to key more on the run game. I am not sure if I can ever recall him throwing a deep square in route at any time, even last year.
He continues to be inaccurate with his throws too.
I feel like Nuss deserves a start and if he does well, you stick with him. You then use JD in special situations where you can use his running ability or design a play much like the first play of the game.

Dumb fans are always attributing coaching decisions to stubbornness and pride. More than likely, these decisions come after committee meetings with the other coaches, and stubbornness and pride have nothing to do with it.

This is correct

You may be correct but the ultimate decision lies with the head coach and how can BK go from seeing how Nuss played in the Georgia game, then the Purdue game and all of a sudden think JD has to play the whole FSU game when he obviously, wasn’t doing what needed to be done?

Going back a long way through many head coaches, the most popular guy on campus was the backup quarterback. Burrow years were different-he was/is a God.

Kelly thinks Daniels gives him a better chance to win. You can disagree with him on that, but it's that simple. He's not going to sit a QB that he knows is better just because he didn't recruit him here.
Posted on 9/5/23 at 7:17 pm to Asleepinthecove
It’s exactly why. Kelly went hard after him and feels like he owes it to him. The way he looks at it is Nuss will get his turn next year. It’s JD’s year as much as it was JJ’s in 2011.

Didn’t he have several completions in that range Sunday?

I agree and this is one reason I am done with BK. He thinks he is bigger than LSU and he is a hard headed individual that will not play the best players. Reminds me of Miles.

There are times where we’ve been proven right on this thought: Mett over JJ/JL, Etling over Harris come to mind.

You don't think coaches can be stubborn? And not want to change their systems

I mean there were a lot of key throws that were drops! Make those catches and we would win that game

So that’s what CLM et al did?

Well JD didn’t give us the best chance to win (or any Chance) against FSU, especially in the second half. If Nuss played the second half it would’ve been a different ball game and you know it. Nuss stretching the field would’ve forced FSU to move more defenders to the backfield and would’ve opened up the run game.

This makes the most sense but we all know whatever makes sense they will do the opposite.

Yeah posters around here don’t understand this they think JD throwing off his back foot 10 yards down the field and running every chance he gets is the only way for us

Are you are suggesting that decisions are made on a consensus basis? Anyone worth a grain of salt in leadership knows "It don't work". There is always the leader, the boss, the president or the head coach. The leader is responsible and has final decision-making capacity and responsibility. It breeds lasting splits where opposing groups concentrate on winning their position rather than solving the problem.

FSU had more drops on better passes. Much better on 3rd downs, thew guys open, put up 50/50 balls, and didn’t hold the ball too long waiting for someone to run wide open
