I know you can't ask the players or coaches to lose on purpose, but man...



Might add Lanorris Sellars and Cade Klubnik to this list as well

Allar & Iamalevea both suck.

Nuss has a lot of upside but he also has to show improvement in certain aspects of his game in 2025.

Manning has the biggest upside & obviously the most talented of this group but he has yet to even play a full season of college as the starter.

Tell me you don't watch CFB. Allar is in the playoffs after throwing for 3000 yards, running for almost 300, competing 69% of his passes. Iamalevea is mostly potential, but also got his team in the playoffs.

You just explained that you don't know what you are even watching.

Penn St made the playoffs off the backs of their defense & weak SOS. Plus throwing for 3000 yards is nothing. I guess SMU & Indiana QBs are can't miss prospects since they both made the playoffs & threw for 3000 plus yards too.

And looked completely lost throwing the ball against an Ohio St defense littered with future NFL talent. Matter of fact, Iamalevea struggled passing all season long in SEC play. He only put up huge numbers against the cupcakes on Tennessee's schedule.

Manning is the only one on this list I’d be interested in.

Manning is not leaving Texas until he expires his eligibility. 1. He does not need the NFL money. 2. Peyton and Eli both played out there eligibility and that probably a Manning commitment they honor.

Ironically the only one who can’t even win the starting job on a college team.

We are getting some good practice on how to do it.

Last place in NFC South seems assured for the 2025 Saints.

"Awful" seems to be quite a strong statement to describe a guy who had almost as many TOTAL yards, more total TDs (pass/rush), and just a slightly worse QB rating in 12 games as Daniels had in 14 games in their first seasons staring at LSU. In fact, it was Nussmeier's first season starting anywhere (Daniels was a 3 years starter before 2022). We all know what Daniels did in 2023 and is currently doing now.

That's NOT to say Nussmeier will be as good as Daniels next season. That would be an incredibly high bar to reach. There is plenty of room for Nussmeier to improve. But to say the guy is "awful" is beyond ridiculous

The Tank may not even be voluntary next year. It is inevitable.

I wouldn’t call him awful but he wasn’t very good. You’re also comparing a guy coming in to a new system in Daniels to a guy who’s been in the same system for 3 years in Nuss. Nuss has nfl potential, he was absolutely horrific last year at times, but i don’t think he sucks. I still laugh at LSU fans who wanted Nuss to start over JD.

So worse.

So what are you on about then? Using two QB’s with different stats, teams, skill sets & overall talent to say what exactly? Then you compared him to 1st year Daniels. Do I need to pull up some of the threads on Daniels his 1st year? You people said he was awful. And that was after you saw Burrow improve after year 1. So what’s the difference now?

For you to include Nuss in that shows your lack of football IQ. Nuss will not be a mid tier NfL QB
