re: just because you wanted to get a look at nuss doesn't mean you hate daniels

All we know about the guy so far is he is a gunslinger prone to turnovers. Not sure how that equals “pre-snap reads, process better, goes through progressions, high iq passer”.

Just want to point out everyone saying Daniels can’t throw, just athlete playing qb, only wants to tuck and run, well the guy threw for nearly 3,000 yards as a freshman. Only had two int’s.

That tells me he is very capable of passing the ball, and he takes care of the ball. He would probably rather run and gain 10 yards than throw into a tight window risk turnover. But he isn’t just a runner.

When did Kelly say this?

I know people on the rant talked about this, but I never heard Kelly say anything along these lines. If he did, I missed it, which is definitely possible.

He said it to the sideline reporter right after the team ran onto the field. It was weird because he wasn't even asked about playing both.

Daniels is 23rd in QBR...not bad for first game and not playing a cupcake. He wasn't the problem Sunday.

agreed. It’s the same idiots that refuse to give Daniels any credit. “Oh he went 99 yards bc of prevent” shite like that.

Daniels looked like a very good passer. The only throw he struggled with consistently were short passes into the flats. They lacked touch and were mostly inaccurate. Might have been adrenaline or it might just be a throw he routinely struggles with. Either way, I thought he looked good on pretty much every other throw.

He's definitely not just a runner playing QB.

When do you think he should have been pulled?

The way Kelly was saying that both QBs were likely to play, I thought that might mean a couple of scripted series with Nuss at some point. I don't think it has anything to do with "pulling" Daniels, just seeing how they each perform

He probably did intend to play both, but the game never got there.

Fla State jumped ahead of LSU, stayed 1 score ahead. Defense never never never stopped them.

We never got a spot in the game where it was 'ok, let's run the backup QB this series and see what we have'.

If he was off, you jump Kelly for basically wasting a drive, when we could have used that drive to keep pace or catch up.

If we got up a score, or if our defense was stoning Fla State, then you have the chance to experiment. Or even, if we fall behind a few scores and it doesn't matter as much what we do.
But we stayed right in that position where you NEED to keep up, or it could get away.

The only time it got anywhere close to that, like somebody said, was down 2 scores in the 4th, you could have said frick it, we're going to lose anyway, let's see Nuss give it a shot.
But Daniels ironically produced exactly what you want your starting QB to do- he brought the team back. Kick the XP and it's overtime.
If we make it to OT (and maybe win), are you still saying on Monday that you wanted them to put Nuss in off the bench for that stretch?

He didn’t pull Daniels because we drove the field 2/3 drives to start the game (4th drive of the half we had a minute ten and ran out of time.

Then we drove 3/4 drives to end the game.

Especially considering the game plan was for Daniel’s to run a lot, it was working pretty well.

We shot ourselves in the foot a LOT.

it's cute that you actually believe everything a coach says publicly.

I agree with this thread title
