Poor kid was being tar and feathered by the fanbase after last year’s bowl game that he elected not to play in to preserve his redshirt. Then, he had a really good spring by all accounts and was mentioned by many to be the most impressive QB in practice and during the spring game. He gets beat out by JD in the fall and only gets to play in mop up duty where he played not so great and made some ill advised throws leading to the fanbase assuming he’s odd man out with Walker waiting in the wings. Plays really well in the Georgia game and is everyone’s favorite QB again. I guess we should expect to hate him again in a few weeks based on this trend.

tRant special = always favor the 2nd string QB even if he's a walk-on, shite on the starter no matter what

yes, you had retards on here at times asking them to bench burrow in 2019

no worries, if he gets the job next year it will take 1 struggling quarter for tRant to demand Howard in and when Howard is thrown to the wolves, Rickie Collins. The cycle never ends.

Why wouldn’t he? JD started every gane this season. Obviously he won the competition.

No, what i believe is Kelly, with everything to prove, started the kid who lost the battle in camp to Nuss to prove a point, the kid mistakenly wins 9 games, beats Florida, auburn, Bama, 2 of those 3 on the road which has never been done, then has to put Nuss in mop up duties where he looked horrible in all but one game. Kelly is just out to get Nuss.

Nah, it's some conspiracy theory that he favors JD's ability over Nuss. How could BK ever put Nuss on the bench after what we saw at Georgia? It's impossible. Clearly he's showing favoritism to JD. Not like he thinks JD actually gives you the best opportunity to win a game and knows more about Nuss shortcomings than tRant does. How could he possibly know more than tRant as HC?

No one was calling for the backup when Burrow was here. No one called for the backup before Brennan was hurt in 2020.

Daniels is not our longterm answer at QB. It is painfully obvious as the year went on. You really want a QB that can't threaten downfield consistently to be our guy next year?

And it was utterly ridiculous. It is the responsible thing for any kid in his position to do. You never know when a transfer can come in an leap frog you and you need that extra year to extend your career. Too bad many are too short sighted or just plain too dense to realize that.

Uh, yes they did. In both situations. What rant did you read?

Brennan was blamed for the losses before he got hurt despite the bonkers numbers he was putting up.

Burrow's situation was less being asked to be benched because he was too good in situations. You had moments like in the Auburn game people wanted him on the bench because weren't raking up points when we needed to take a sizable lead on them.

So yes, you had retards asking for him to be benched during the season and before it on 2019.

I'd love to see the threads calling for Burrow to be replaced in 2018.

I notice you conveniently choose to not respond to my questions about our current situation though. Almost as if you deep down you know Daniels is not the guu

I don't care who starts. I'm not the coach. I'm just pointing out the mental gymnastics on here that's always entertaining to watch.

You like most other posters here think you know more than Brian Kelly who has coached for decades and making millions and has proven to rebuild 3 programs and possibly a 4th one now. Questioning guys like Polian is different who has accomplished absolutely dick in his coaching career compared to someone like BK's career. He's not flawless like any coach but tRant can't get it through their head that maybe what they were seeing in practice is more flaws than you're actually seeing in the games. It's very possible there's more holes to Nuss game that we don't know about because his sample size is so small. The only conclusion here that anyone can draw on Nuss is he's a better thrower of the ball than JD, has more confidence that leads to major boom or bust moments. Maybe those bust moments outweigh the boom or that's how the coach feels or there's more flaws we don't know about to go alongside the bad decision making.

So yeah, maybe JD is your best option to win. No player has static development either. He could develop his passing ability more next year. I know that's hard for you and most of the rant to grasp but yes, even with multiple years starting and struggling he can still get better and even much better. Some players hit a transformation period of maturity in a short amount of time. See Hendan Hooker who is like 25 years old.

Why gymnastics are required to believe Daniels has peaked and is not a great throwing QB and we should likely develop our younger talent that has seen good progress with limited reps?

This is such a lazy take. I'm not questioning playing Daniels this year. And even if I was, your belief that coaches are infallible is laughable at best.

Of course it's a lazy take because it's not something you want to hear. You conveniently ignore the points I just brought up where players mature late especially at QB and a small sample size from Nuss is not enough to say he's a better option than JD.

Maybe just maybe coach BK knows more than tRant. I sure as hell hope he does with the money he's being paid.

Go back to the end of 2018.

The rant called burrow a slightly more talented etling and some were wondering/hoping for Myles to take the reigns for 2018

Things happen and people change. News at 11.


I'm sure you have never switched your position on an opinion on any random topic (pick one) based off of the situation changing.

Context matters here.

Feel free to look through the threads during the season and before it with TD's bad search functions. I'm sure you'll find it.

No, it's lazy because it's ridiculous. Coaches can be wrong. Regardless, I personally did not claim he was wrong for playing Daniels this year. Your are making a
lazy argument to discredit me when it's an argument I didn't even make.

Daniels is already late in his development This isn't Burrow who was old but never played.

He is 100% the better option long term if we want a QB that pushes the ball downfield. Daniels has shown you what he is. Now the question is which one is the best option to win games right now.

I'd like to understand completely in what manner or form JD5 "beat him out".
