He will settle down (I hope). Right now he has little to lose and it looks like he is just ‘seeing red’ when he goes out there.

Burrow did so throw 50/50 balls and count on his receivers to adjust. not all the time but he did do it.

most HC value ball security. There is too much evidence, years of history, that the team with the fewest turnovers win games. Nuss doesn't just take chances, I think in some cases he isn't seeing the defense.

I dont see Nuss as a turnover machine. I think he is the better QB between he and Daniels. Nuss can sling it and is mobile, maybe not as fast as Daniels, but he can run. Daniels doesnt throw ad many interceptions because he doesnt sling it. He takes the easy passes, runs runs runs or gets sacked 40 something times. The guy aggravates the shite out of me honestly. And I think the WRs if asked would rather a slinger.

Partly but I think what ultimately led to Daniels winning the job was Denbrock wanting a running threat qb and the uncertainty of the offensive line.

BK said it was a close battle between JD and Nussmeier, I'm sure the turnovers were a big determining factor in his decision on who started, along with the OL issues. It wasn't a decision made because one player was head and shoulders better than the other guy or else that QB would have been named the starter earlier in the fall.

It didn't keep Daniels from getting the starting job on his arrival in Baton Rouge.
How many TDs vs Interceptions did Daniels have his third year as a starter.
I would bet, if Nuss ever gets an opportunity, he will never have 10 vs 10 in any season.

Eh, sorta is. Even some
Of his must successful throws against UGA we’re scary. That long pass to Jenkins was an under thrown ball I to Double coverage that Jenkins had to cut in front of a DB to catch and prevent an INT.

That’s not a 50-50 ball. That’s like a 33-66 ball Jenkins made a great play on while Ringo go lazy and didn’t try and high point it.

That’s not something you can do sustainably.

You’re right. He’d never have only 10 INT if he were allowed to start a full season. It would be more like 20.

Turnovers are a symptom of his style and his inexperience. Nuss vs UGA was a better QB than Southern Nuss. I think he isn't starting because the coaching staff feels he wasn't ready.

I saw a statistic of all the past National Champions, averaged over six yards per play, Daniels averaged five per play.
Nuss in his half of play vs the number 1 defense in the nation averaged 7.8 yds per play.

No, but they play a big role. I like the kid, and he has a great arm. But for all the shite that JD gets for his football IQ, Nuss has the same issues in different areas.

JD is too dependent on running and doesn't make throws he isn't completely confident in, but he's mobile and efficient when it comes to turnovers at the very least. Nuss is the opposite. He's going to sit there and force a throw or put up a jump ball that isn't there.

Like I said, I like him, and I'm not slandering his talent. He's got a fricking cannon and a lot of confidence in his arm, but turnovers are a huge deal. Even more of an issue is WHY he's a turnover machine. That's what keeps him from starting. He can't move, he forces throws regardless of the situation, and that just won't ever work in the SEC.

Joe Burrow and other great QBs in the SEC who could sling it in that fashion have all been inherently smart when it comes to reads and situational decision making. Nuss just doesn't have that.
