I think he’s looked better than Fields. They talk about looking comfortable in system for rookie QB and he looks comfortable in the pocket and has extended some plays with his legs. Gonna be interesting to see how he improves. may be batting for #2 spot.

Maybe based on experience but Nuss has looked just as good if not better

Having Andy Reid as your playcaller instead of Joe Sloan helps.

It wasn’t Sloan’s fault Nuss couldn’t throw a football

I mean, he hasn't really looked that great, but he's been pressured on half of his attempts probably. There's been a bunch of TE and RB usage though

Hmmm……. Obviously the rant doesn’t know the difference between decent and great. He’s looked as good as Fields if not better. He doesn’t have that deer in the headlights look that some rookies have. He’s extended plays and moved up in the pocket with pressure and if not for some drops would have had even better stats.

This does not surprise me at all. He got a bad rap by playing through a painful injury.

Wasn't Sloan's fault that Nuss was always throwing into coverage and off of his back foot. And BTW, I hated Sloan. Sloan and Nuss was a bad combo..

Remember who you talking to Lester Earl is a NFL scout so he knows. Trust him.

He was 9/17 for 74 yards and a 63 rating

I’m not saying that’s terrible(but it’s pretty bad), but that isnt making a roster as a 7th round guy

I don't care what anyone says the kid was hurt last year. I'm basing this only on watching him throw a football for 7 years (junior year of hs to 5th year senior)

He lost an incredible amount on his velocity. Watch the UGA SEC title his junior year where he comes in and shreds the UGA defense and his arm surprises the defenders with how much zip it has compared to Jayden's and they underplay a few balls early.

I hope the kid gets healthy.

Our fanbase loves to hate him but he could have transferred 3 different times and no one would have blamed him and he could have went pro and been a first rounder but came back to try to win a title at LSU.

I hope he has a long and healthy career. Best of luck to a Louisiana kid, LSU tiger.

To be fair, Justin Fields is pure shite so it’s a low bar for anyone, including Nuss.

Justin Fields is one of the 10 best backups in the nfl. This is pretty widely accepted

LMAO bro stop. You are not a NFL scout and quit trying to play one. You have 7 downvotes so far and no up votes.

Fields is trash. But i am glad you think he is serviceable.

Trust me i didn't have a futures bet on him and after 3 games i knew he wouldn't be a first rd pick. But you go ahead and start your own NFL scouting service maybe you can hire Hold That Tiger 10 also he's a good judge of talent expecially on the baseball field LMAO...........
