Absolutely, he is not as good as those 2 guys. Sometimes players just aren’t that good of a player for whatever reason.

I heard from people who knew him in high school he acted spoiled and entitled. Would hope he’d have outgrown that by now.

All that aside, which may or may not be true AND setting aside 'old school' coaches giving priority to seniority and the assumptions that go with that...

One thing I can say about Nuss both over the years and currently (thus future) is he lacks the capability upstairs to 'pick you apart'.

He's not going to see leverage and weaknesses and, in concert with his receivers, make you pay with adjusting to that. He's going to rely on his arm and throw the routes.

With that in mind the lack of the use of VR system (and offseason voluntary workouts) might, if true, be the most significant.

He could’ve taken the easier way with the portal when JD beat him out. I’d suspect a bit of truth in these reports. BK has to get this under control; short leash for Nuss starting with South Carolina,

what the heck is he doing at practice if he isn't watching plays thru the VR system. That is a great reason why JB/JD became Heisman winners imo.

Burrow didn’t use the VR training at LSU. I’m not saying Nussmeier shouldn’t be using it, but it’s also silly to assume that it would be a helpful tool for every QB out there.

How is obviously from LSU coach or coaches. Question is which one(s)? Also kind of clashes with feedback on Nuss from national guys observing him at the Manning camp. Both can be true though, but not the tight ship I would have expected at LSU under Kelly… to be clear, if Scarborough is right.. coaches are accountable for letting that continue AND trotting him out as QB1. Team killer.

I mean, he played well enough last season to be considered a top-two Heisman favorite entering this season.

Does he go to class or just take 1 or 2 easy online classes? I remember burrow specifically saying his last year was all football.

Late in that ole miss game I watched that kid fall completely apart. Like a true freshman.


This isn’t exactly fair. Last time we had the ball we put together a nice drive. It would have been great to get a TD in the 3rd but at least got a couple FGs.

This is the most dramatic collective response to QB performance I’ve ever seen from LSU fans.

He doesn't, and from my memory, it clashes with everything we have heard from others.

He graduated last spring so I would assume he's taking the bare minimum fluff classes to maintain eligibility.

I don’t know anything about his prep or conditioning but I know that he hasn’t done anything but hurt the team so far this year and if that doesn’t change he’s unfortunately going to be remembered in a very bad light in Louisiana for years to come.

I dont know whether he knows anything or not but I will say, with the access Kelly gives to the media, wouldn't it be atleast a little smart of them to keep the narrative going that allows them to continue that access??

Not saying that's what they are doing, but id imagine if they all came out and said Nuss is shite, hasn't done what he is supposed to, the team looks awful and leaks a bunch of shite, then their access wiuld be denied and be locked out?

Average fans don't evaluate, recruit or decide to play nepo babies.
