Nuss could have success due to getting drafting by a good team and not the likes of Cincinnati or Washington.
When he's healthy, he has every physical attribute except height. We bitch about him making mistakes, but the "coach's son" thing could come into play; he probably is ahead of the game in knowing how to research and prep. Give him a few years behind someone to learn and develop, and he could be the guy that transitions into their next starter. It'd be a matter of 'he knows the system, and can make every pass we ask of him' vs drafting someone later, who you'd have to teach the system to.

If the OP is rated inside the top 10K of NFL draft aged wannabe QBs... I'd be very surprised.

I’ll pray for you and Nuss, sounds like you need it and I know he’s gonna need it.

Nuss will make more money by the time he turns 30 than you will in your lifetime. He appreciates your prayers but its not needed.

I think this is a pretty fair assessment based on the body of work last year.
It wasn’t to me just the physical limitations but inability to adapt and make plays as a leader no matter the cost.
Just ask yourselves if you feel like Joe Burrow would have been that ineffective with the same injury?
The answer would be no.
Joe would have made plays regardless as a true leader.
Look, not to put everyone in the category of JB but having the want and leadership is absolutely necessary at the next level and I just personally didn’t see any of that from Nuss.
I think he is backup at best and for that reason alone, I’d take him no higher than 4-5th round if I had a draft board.

Nuss was clearly injured and recently discussed it openly. BK lied to us (as if we didn't know) and everyone turned on Nuss after he churned out poor performance after poor performance.
Injured before the first game was even played. Should have sat him for the first four games and let him heal up.
Could have gone 2-2 or 3-1 without him. He comes back and LSU goes on a run.
BK was a freaking idiot. Glad he’s gone.
Best of luck to Nuss.

The thread might be dumb, I don't know 
Nussmeier's situation is a bit unusual, but it's not like it's unbelievable.
He had a 4k junior season, with plenty of highlights before that. Good strong arm, the "daddy's an NFL QB coach" pedigree, etc. He was definitely a 1st rd prospect going into last year, slight chance at a Heisman run and so on. If he was 3-4 inches taller he'd have been a strong #1 overall potential.
So last season he:
1) got injured in preseason, not career-threatening but did completely mess his year up.
2) played behind a weak O Line in a scheme where he had no running game to help carry the load
3) had a downgrade at every WR position from the year before. And that year before was a big downgrade from what Daniels had the year prior to that.
4) had a coach who was on the hot seat and eventually fired midseason, in a circus atmosphere. Note, we fired Kelly because he lost fairly close road games to 11-1 and 10-2 teams, and then a home game to another 11-1 team where we played a good first half. We then lost 2 more road games to 10-2 playoff teams.
That's not the press clippings you want on your future QB draft pick... but it doesn't eliminate him either. You'd want to look at that injury and be sure it's resolved, and that's he's back to 2024 physical status. And then you want to make sure he flushes the 2025 experience from his brain, and is ready to start fresh in your NFL system.
If you thought he was a 1st rd pick before and he's healthy, he's definitely worth a shot in the 2nd or 3rd rd.

Pull the Matt Flynn special, ride the pine for many year collecting a fat paycheck and have one moment of glory. Cash in even more and then say cya.

Coming of 24-25 he was lights out. The Oline was awful last season, and our scheme got absolutely no one open. We had zero deepthreat b/c the OLine couldn't block anyone. When guys did get open on occasion they would drop at least 3 a game.
He was blasted constantly, hurt the entire time, and then got happy feet which I can't blame b/c of the giant dudes in his face every time he dropped back.
Is he mobile....................absolutely not, but there are plenty of qb's that have success with scheme and an average oline. From one year to the next we would have never expected that much of a drop off.

If he comes out after last year he’s likely #2 in terms of qb’s taken.
He’s got physical tools and last year was a gigantic cluster frick on offense. I wonder how Nuss would have done if he had Lane as his HC

Nuss had 13 TD’s and 8 INT’s against the SEC in 2024. He was never a good qb, everybody just wishes he was

You forget we were all yelling at Sloan for some of the worst play calling we've seen in years? I don't blame Sloan for the picks, but damn man we can't pretend that the last couple years under BK were just complete failures across the board, with the exception of bringing in Baker and what he was able to do with the defense.

I hope he does well enough.
As disgusted as I was with the team last year, his perseverance is certainly noble. If anybody deserves redemption, it's him.

I agree completely with you but when you “even if he only becomes Chase Daniel…” go look up Chase Daniel’s career earnings - I think he had like a 15 year career and made $60MM and he can still walk and think post-NFL. I mean, that is a true success story. Better analogy might be Danny Etling, to be honest - true journeyman would scratches his way onto practice squads for 5-7 years…

Sorry, Nuss is terrible and he’d be doing well to be a career backup.
