Well that was a fine job of picking plays to support your position.
I'll just use one example of where a receiver not only caught an awful pass but he scored a TD on the play.
I'm sure you can recall the wounded duck that JD underthrew to Jenkins such that Jenkins had to come back about 5 yds to catch the ball and the two defenders were expecting a better thrown pass and therefore out of position, and Jenkins scored....and guess what, JD not only got a reception stat but also a TD stat...on what might have been the worst of many very poor throws he made this year. JD was a fine runner and scrambler, but he was less than average as a thrower of all routes. He was ok throwing 5-10 hitches where the receiver fell down or tackled immediately. Quite frankly I could make most of those throws today, and I'm 76 years old.
You totally missed the actual throwing ability of JD by listing useless stats, which didn't begin to tell the story. Nuss, in one half, showed all of us what a real thrower can do and how much it enlivened our receivers. Yes, he has a lot to learn but he has the cannon to make big plays that LSU is so much in need of on offense.

he didn't make the players around him look great. he personally had great stats, but not a single skill player on offense had good stats. the oline would've looked better had he not hung onto the ball so much. Yes, I realize he did help them early in the season with his running ability.

not knocking daniels, just offering perspective on why it's not surprising that so many want to give someone else a chance to throw the ball. many of us thought that we'd have a couple receivers look all world with lots of yardage and big plays. the big passing attack would've helped the run game, which did show improvement throughout the year. but who was the big runner? J.D.


The mental gymnastics some of you are performing to justify him not being the starter and moving on to Nuss is just excrutiating.

I think nuss is the better quarterback. However, you do not beat bama without him this year
