re: Nuss is done

He had three crow hop throws no pressure within 45 yards.pure back yard let it rip throws. All were under thrown by 5 yards. So our gun slinger qb is completely done. Nuss lost this game. Period. Hate to break the Nuss bus fam but he’s done. Not bashing the kid maybe he got hurt. Maybe he’s not ready but me at 50 years old could throw a free crow hop throw further than LSU’s starting qb………..period.
agree with this — those three crow-hop underthrows were killers and that’s on Nuss. but “done”? nah. here’s the part that matters:
he missed freebies (no pressure, let-it-rip balls). hold him to that.
it’s not only the QB. we keep putting him in bad leverage. on 1st & 10, throwing is elite for us (~10.3 yds/play, ~71% success), but we still run it nearly half the time. that leads straight to…
the 2nd & 10 trap. in that exact spot we run ~61% for ~0.6 yds/play and ~10% success. it’s predictable and it digs a hole for any QB’s rhythm.
protection isn’t the excuse. sack rate is ~4%—he has time. the issue is sequencing and what we ask for on early downs and in the low red (tight yards/play, few easy answers).
money downs aren’t a death sentence. when we actually arrive in manageable 3rd, we’re fine; the problem is we arrive at long too often because of the early-down script.
so yes: roast Nuss for the three underthrows. but if you think swapping QBs fixes a 1st-down philosophy problem and a 2nd-and-10 tell, you’re just setting the next guy up to get booed for the same result. fix the script (pass-lean on 1st, kill the 2nd-and-10 run tell, add real low-red answers), then decide if your “gunslinger is done.”
TLDR - > Nuss might be psychologically done, but any QB is going to get frustrated with Sloan calling the plays. If you wanna play MVB, fine, but BK needs to grab the play sheet as well.

Only thing I can think of is that it’s all mental with Nuss with the offseason hype and he played against Southeastern in the hopes it would clear out his head.
That said, he sure throws like he’s hurt.

Both can be true… His arm isn’t a fraction of what we’ve seen. When he throws the sideline ball, I feel like im watching a ball boy throw it. Guy can barely get it 30 yards right now.

Sorry.
Once these kids started getting paid to play, my concern for/acceptance of "pressure" on the player went out the fricking window.

hes also getting the plays late or something or is getting confused. They run the play clock all the way down every time, get to the line and Nuss calls time out. theres poor communication.

I was hoping it’s healed, but it’s clear on his long balls. He’s just lobbing and hoping that he gets enough air under them to float them in there. He’s not got any zip whatsoever on his throws

Don’t be surprised if, at the end of the season, he undergoes some kind of shoulder/arm surgery for a problem that the staff has been sitting on, yet keeps sending him out there anyway.
If that happens, CBK should be fired on the spot. For cause, no $60mm.

also, he is terrible and petrified to run or throw. he panics whenever he is touching the ball. he doesn't belong on any SEC field playing for any team.
Posted on 9/28/25 at 10:30 am to FireawayLSU
he is lobbing the ball into triple coverage... panicking.

If he can’t come out vs Gamecocks and sling it, it may be time for a change. BK kept saying, he needs the bye week.

The bad news is it’s not only Nuss.
The worse news is that it’s O-line, WR drops, and a clueless OC. AND the QB is a head case who can’t drive the ball downfield anymore.
The offense is a dumpster fire with no solutions available and it was brought to us by our $100m head coach who we can’t fire.

Just got engaged, padding the path for his pro career. And we're stuck with Les Kelly for many, many more years.

I disagree. That said, I think he realizes that he's going to get no help from the scheme or the ground game, so if he has a bad game, then we lose. That's a lot of pressure to put on him
I hate to break this to you but in the SEC, if your QB sucks you usually lose and it’s one of the highest pressure things an 18-22 year old can take part in whether you have a good RB or not. It seems like he’s just not built for it and that’s that

I don't really care what CBK said in his presser tonight, it is clear that Nuss has an injury that is impacting his ability to drive the football
But even that aside he is still making bad decisions.
Thats the thing. The bad decisions were tolerable when he made 2 great throws for every questionable throws. Without the ability to make the great throws, he is just a liability out there.

Nuss was bad. But this was a total team loss.
I agree but Nuss is supposed to be the guy to mask other deficiencies and manufacture some points. At the moment, he is one of the biggest deficiencies on the team.
Posted on 9/29/25 at 8:26 am to FireawayLSU
He was floating passes the entire first half, way way too much airtime on long pass attempts. He just doesn't have it, so admit it and get the 2nd kid in there to play, or let him ride this team to a 7 win season

His dad must be a horrible coach if he cannot fix his kids problems on the field. If he’s hurt then it’s criminal that BK has him on the field. This shouldn’t be happening. Wasting another year for the rest of the players and the fans. LSU is going nowhere with Nuss as quarterback.

Watch the tape. He won’t step on his left leg when he has time. He’s hurting himself doesn’t get rotation in his upper body for his deep balls and throws into the ground when rolling out (can’t rotate his body). They are gaslighting the fans on his injury and committing coaching malpractice by not sitting him at least until he is fully healed.
It’s costing him AND the team

Also Nuss just isn't that good. Right now I don't think he's a top 15 QB in the country
He's barely a Top 15 QB in the SEC right now.

It's not just Nuss. It's the entire Offense. The coaching is horrible. The OLine freaks out on passing off rushers. Sloan is completely predicatable, and the defenses know if the play is a run or pass before the ball is hiked. Nuss is not 100%. This is a shite show offense.
