re: I didn't think Nuss looked awful

Nabors had like 10 yards on the Dbs and he just threw it up. He didn't miss it but it was an easy throw.

He was open, but he threw it beautifully and hit him in stride. Even Daniels underthrew it to the wide open WR on the long one that he threw. It was a really good throw and really the only highlight he had (though he had a few other nice passes).

Aside from a few terrible decisions, I didn't think he looked that bad.

“Except for ripping off the two babies heads on separate occasions, it’s a pretty peaceful dog.”

He looked okay, not great. But that interception looked terrible. Threw right into double (or was it triple) coverage. Rookie mistake.

Nuss looked like a guy that was trying to win the starting qb job on every play which turned out bad for him. He was looking to make a big play instead of running the offense. When you press like that bad things happen.

I just came back to boo this post again.

Booooooo

Well then you’re a dumb frick

His decision making was terrible, and that makes it pretty clear why JD was made the starter. However, decision making can improve. He is still rather inexperienced and operating out of a new system. If he can get the mental side down, the physical gifts are certainly there. His arm strength is tremendous and his mobility is good.

So, I don't think we should throw in the towel on him. He's just not ready yet. Sure he might get passed up by Howard, but I'm betting Howard isn't ready yet either. Let's not chop down the whole tree because the fruit isn't ripe yet. The SEC can be pretty rough on Mobile QBs. JD might not get through the season unscathed. We might need Nuss to win a game or two. So, perhaps it would be better if we didn't destroy his confidence completely.

So he didn't look terrible except for looking terrible ok got it

I think this is why he looked so bad. It’s no excuse, in fact it probably indicates less than optimal decision making, but I think he likely isn’t as bad as he showed.
He most definitely looked like he was trying to do the most heroic thing possible on every play, rather than the most sensible thing. Like he saw Daniels playing well, and improving in looking downfield rather than taking off, and saw his opportunity dwindling, so he wanted to make it impossible for them to take him off the field.

It was a terrible thought process and led to terrible performance. Hopefully that’s what it was and this isnt the best he can do, and hopefully he learns from it in case he ever has to go back in.

You’re making an excuse by saying he didn’t play that badly. He was objectively terrible.
