re: LSU 1st Year QB Stats

Not really a sweeping generalization, it’s just a fact. How many teams who throw it 60% of the time win championships? I’m fairly certain it’s never happened before.

Under 2 different head coaches and 3 different OCs. Burrow had more continuity in his growth despite playing for two different teams.

Do you understand that JB had a much worse 2 different head coaches and different OC scenario? Everything was different for him for his first starting season at LSU.

Regardless - so are you saying that this continuity in growth by playing a lot less during mop up duty including 3rd string time for completely different coaches including 2 different OCs, different school, different offense, and different teammates helped prepare JB better for success during his first starting season at LSU than Nuss’s 3 years at LSU, almost 6 times as many passing attempts, 6 times as many passing yards, twice as many games played including a start and other games with meaningful situations in all 3 seasons including the SEC championship in 2022, 2 years with current head coach, 2 years with Sloan, and 2 or 3 years with other offensive coaches, and 1 to 3 years of past practice & games with some of the current players helped prepare Nuss for success during his first starting season at LSU???

No ins who brings up Burris is saying their situations are identical or that Nuss is going to be as good as him. It’s just to show maybe Nuss isn’t as bad as many people try to portray him.

They are using it to show this but also to push if he is already putting up better stats compared to JB and JD’s first starting season at LSU that everything will be fine and even improve next year. Nuss wouldn’t have made it halfway through the 2018 season if he transferred into LSU right before season like JB did and had the limited game experience JB had. He might not have made it through Miami with the hits and tackles on JB that first game.

Nuss had enough prior experience to where his stats aren’t that surprising to me. The collapse at A&M after starting game well was surprising. As are the following still consistent issues after year 4: The throws off back foot, feeling a pass rush not there yet, throwing side arm for no apparent reason, running left and throwing back across to the right (maybe not consistent but once was stupid enough to be included), seemingly having multiple “he gets it now” moments only to regress again the next game, and so on.

I thought he was talking more about Kelly’s philosophy of constantly calling passing plays by trying to include how often JD’s runs were actually called passing plays.

With JD we had some balance with running numbers because many passing plays turned into big runs by him. With Nuss all the passing calls stayed as passes (or sacks). JD covering up poor run blocking for RBs, and Nuss never running or being a true threat to run when a pass called dropped us to last place for rushing yards in the SEC (from 2nd), last place for rushing attempts in the SEC, and 3rd to last in rushing TDs in the SEC. Kelly, Sloan, and Davis failed getting offensive run game and run blocking geared around RBs and kept calling pass plays like in past even without running QB turning some into big runs. The RB coach also failed enough to where I can’t remember his name at the moment.

Jayden Daniels 2022

3,390 Total Yards
26 Touchdowns
2 Interceptions

Daniels got a lot of hate in 2022 - an acquaintance just last week said he was - and I quote "garbage" his junior year here.

That's a pretty darn good stat line and does not even include is running stats.

Here's the problem, this fan base has tasted Burrow and Daniels and anything less is unacceptable.....which is understandable and unfair at the same time.

---

Burrow and Daniel both had their share of criticism the year before their Heisman campaigns. I'd argue Daniel got even more than Nuss has and Burrow about as much.

Please include the following beauties:
Jordan Jefferson
Anthony Jennings
Danny Etling (was actually decent)
Brandon Harris

That's hilarous, .... "Beauties"
