re: I hope JD takes that leap next year

It really looks like he has the arm strength to make the intermediate throws and many of the deep throws when he pushes into the throw. I'm sure that the coaching staff is all over it and im no expert, but it always seems like his feet are behind his brain and his arm. When he steps into his throw and his plant knee isn't locked out, the throw is pretty decent (i.e deep ball to Hilton against MSU). It just looks like he throws so many balls with most of his weight on his back leg and/or while he's falling away. Maybe it's due to a lack of confidence in protection and the combination of his bad footwork, but the clock seems to be a tick off. I hope he finds that rhythm.

I'm no JD5 or Nuss basher, I like them both and just want what is best for the team (I won't claim to know that I know which is best). I do notice that Nuss hits his landmarks much more fluidly in his dropbacks and makes the throw when the route is predetermined by alignment/coverage. Nuss would definitely be much more likely to hit his third (or more) step and throw a receiver open. He also may fling it with three guys smothering the receiver. It's all a "pick your own poison" kind of thing, I guess. CBK has always favored ball security, which led to some back and forth at QB at ND.

That blocked FG TD fiasco and the freak INT were an insanely bad cap to a terrible 1st half.

e shouldn’t and wouldn’t win the starting job next year, if the competion was fair

I'm curious. Why do you think the coaching staff will conduct an unfair competition? What would their motivation be?

If he plays like he did against florida , Bama , and ole miss he will be in New York for Heisman Saturday.
BUT.... it sure does look like he regressed late In the season.

hope one of our QB's takes that leap next year

One of the 3 competitors for QB is absolutely capable of making great plays next season

We have WR talent, and I want to see Daniels, Nuss or Howard letting it rip next year

Just pulling for our QB next season to step up to that next level, it may just be anyone of them.

Let's quit taking sides and stop ignoring all 3 have that potential

I dont understand how this isnt the opinion of every lsu fan. I don't care who is lsu's qb as long as he is playing hard and giving lsu its best chance to win.

I’m hoping Nuss or Walker let’s it rip leading us into the playoffs
