I also think that 2023 defense had a lot to do with his downfall. He had a generational offense and all his defense had to do was literally not be the worst defense in school history.

I think he knew in that moment that was his chance, especially considering it was a down year in the SEC and across the country with no real dominant team.

If our defense is just average, we win it all going away, and I don’t believe he ever recovered from that blunder.
I see what you're saying. We need better choices instead of having to pick between two parties.

Just seeing what one side is offering is enough to make me vote for the other and until they come up better options than what we have, I will guess you can consider me a Republican.
As long as there is a two-party system, I don't see how anyone with a functional brain can look at the Democratic Party and what they represent with all of their shenanigans and think "That looks like a plausible option for the future of our country"

The contract isn’t bad as buyouts go.

Just don’t think anyone thought that firing MM would be coming on the heels of a $54M buyout with Kelly either.

Went back and saw that there was 9 days between when Wade was fired and McMahon was hired. I remember it being incredibly rushed at the time.

Don’t remember any other candidates that were brought up.

Was he hired because no one else wanted it, because Woodward was lazy or both?

I vaguely remember seeing something about McMahon basically being a stop gap due to the investigation before they hired someone who can actually coach.

Even if that’s true, don’t think Woodward anticipated that both he and his football hire would be shown the door before McMahon.
I get that. Just looking at his entire career outside of those two games, I thought he was solid but not this otherworldly player like Cam or Vick.

He had some NFL talent on offense (Jamaal Charles, David Thomas, Limas Sweed, Justin Blalock, etc.) so it wasn't like Cam where he was playing with a bunch of nobodies.

I'd just put a lot of guys ahead of him IMHO.
I'll never understand everyone's fascination with Vince Young. He was mobile and was an average passer.

He had a great game in the Rose Bowl against USC, but that's pretty much it.
I do think injuries played a part for Rodgers. Stat-wise, I think it would be a lot closer in that regard if he managed to stay healthy.

Thought Rodgers was more mobile and just put the ball in spots and made some throws on the run that I don't think Drew or a lot of other guys can make on their best day. His highlight reel is unreal.

And that's not to take anything away from the others. I just think Rodgers is more talented (Brady even said that he was more talented than him), but it just never materialized into championships.

Rodgers also has the six best TD/INT ratios (minimum of 500 passes in a season) of all time, which is just insane.
Rodgers is an insufferable douche, but that guy can sling the football and is as talented as they come.

I'm a huge Brees guy, but Rodgers has some incredible throws that I think maybe only a handful of guys could also make.

I'd be hard pressed to put too many guys in front of him.

I would have Brees over Favre and Elway for sure.
Outside of the ones that get the most notoriety (Jaws, Oddjob, Baron Samedi), Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd always creeped me out when I was younger.
I get that you had probably the worst game of your carrier, but you still have to go out there, talk to the media and own up to it even though you're essentially walking into a hornet's nest.

Unfortunately, that's part of the job.

Hope he learns from this because I think he will still develop into a really good NFL tackle. First-year NFL starter growing pains and a really good Seahawks front will do that to a lot of players.
Connery was my favorite Bond, but Live and Let Die was the first Bond movie my dad showed me, so it has a special place in my heart.

It also has to be up there based off of Sheriff JW Pepper alone.

"You picked the WRONG parish to haul arse through boy!!"
I've thought this since the day it was announced he was hired. The amount of excitement surrounding the program and fanbase is palpable.

With BK, it felt like we were feckless both on and off the field with the media because he had no respect. Which was just pitiful.

I love that we have a coach that exudes confidence and has no problem calling people out and telling it like it is in a way people actually respect. Very refreshing from where we were just a few short months ago.

So you admit you’re using LESS THAN HALF of his games, yet you tell everyone else to use his “whole body of work”.

You really are a genius.

I’m done with you. I’m worried your stupid is going to rub off.


Yeah you're right. I'm going to suck Nuss off like you for all those great games against South Alabama, Nicholls, Southeastern, Tech, Baylor and 6-6 Oklahoma!! frick the important games on the schedule against our biggest rivals and ranked opponents when it actually matters
:lol:

You probably think BK should still be the coach because he's has a .700 win percentage here in four years lmfao. But that wouldn't surprise me because you literally have the same IQ as Simple Jack.
quote:

Saying he wasn’t abysmal isn’t “glazing him”. I really am sorry you don’t understand what that word means. I know it’s a tricky one.


If you think that kind of play is above average when it comes against our biggest rivals in the biggest games of the season, then I would definitely put that under the glazing category.

quote:

^^^
That is calling for Nuss to be benched, genius.


How does "I didn't care what they did." equate to "You're calling for him to be benched" One is actively pushing for someone to be benched and another is being indifferent (which means not caring either way FYI). Let's up another W for I Am Sam over here :lol:

quote:

So you want us to use his “whole body of work” but only the games that you deem worthy?

Once again, words have meanings. The word “whole” means all, not just some, genius.


I'm using multiple games in two years that he started for us against our toughest opponents. Almost 40% of his games he started the last two years. No one cares about how he did against Nicholls, Tech, UCLA or Southeastern like you do. They care about what matters when you go up against the big boys. Again, if you want to give Nuss his flowers for stat padding against those teams, have at it big guy.
quote:

Only that he’s a bad QB who was “abysmal” in 3 games, which is stupid.


Buddy, you're the one that is glazing him for having games where he is throwing 6 TDs against Nicholls. He looked bad against Ole Miss this year and last. He looked bad against A&M this year and last year. He looked bad against Florida this year and last year. He looked bad against Bama this year and last year.

He had 10 TDs and 9 INTs in 8 games against those 4 teams. Two of the TDs he had against A&M and Bama were literal garbage time TDs, so basically he had 8 TDs, 9 INTs. But yeah, you're right. He's above average. He's incredible. Lmfao.

quote:

Wanting Nuss benched is calling for the back you fricking retard.


I literally never said I wanted him benched or called for the backup. What part of that don't understand. Can you read? Being fine with a decision isn't wanting someone benched or calling for the backup dipshit. Not surprised you don't understand though. It's okay hoss, we'll get through this.

quote:

Again, cherry picking any game set is stupid. It’s especially stupid coming from someone who wants everyone to consider his “whole body of work”.

These are your words:


Easy Forrest Gump. Playing against a team like Southeastern is not the same or equal to playing Florida or Ole Miss or Bama or A&M. If you think it is, then you are an even bigger dipshit than I thought.
quote:

And still, they weren’t bad college QBs.


What you fail to grasp is that I never said Nuss wasn't talented. And talent alone can get you drafted. Doesn't matter what your college career looked like.

quote:

I’m pointing out the fact that you’re stupid for STILL wanting MVB to be brought in against Bama.

Color me shocked you don’t grasp that.


Never did I say I wanted MVB to go into the game dip shite. I just said I was fine with Nuss getting benched when it happened like the majority of our fan base was because he had sucked up to that point. You probably cried when it happened though.

quote:

You’re the one who keeps bringing it up


I made an off hand comment the first time, and you felt the need to immediately address it. Dunno what to tell you, but whatever.

quote:

Oh man. Well if internet user Sheriff retard wouldn’t waste a draft pick on him, who would?


If I had to guess, probably at least half of the GMs out there looking for QBs who want to keep their job.

quote:

Cherry picking games is certainly a choice, especially considering you’re the one who keeps telling everyone to look at his “whole body of work” and not just the games he “padded stats” in.

So, in your opinion, we should only take into consideration 33% of his games. Seems smart.


Yeah, you're right. Cherry picking the third of the season in back-to-back years against opponents that actually matter and are the only opponents on the schedule we care about winning against. We should just be like you and suck him off for all those TDs he threw against Nicholls, Grambling, Southeastern, etc.

Seems smart.

Not a great argument... Watch this: Google, "what were Joe Burrow's worst statistical games at LSU in 2018?"

Yes, that's true, but what did Burrow do after 2018? He had the greatest season of all time in 2019.

What did Jayden do the year after he struggled in the first half of 2022? He won a Heisman.

What did Nuss end up doing? Basically, remained the same QB that he is. I'm not saying he had to turn into Superman like those guys, but I think unfair expectations were put on him that I don't think were necessarily warranted.

The whole point is that both Burrow and Daniels took their game to the next level at minimum. With Nuss, it never did and we saw the same mistakes that plagued him his first year.

quote:

Cherry-picking Nuss stats in 2024 against top comp to say he was average at best (someone else pointed out he isn't "abysmal" already) is meaningless in the context of saying he couldn't make an improvement in year 2 as a starter. He wasn't healthy enough to know. Burrow seemed average to abysmal against top comp in 2018 as well-- if you're just looking at stats.

I didn't watch the recent Nuss interview discussing the injury, but it:

1) was obvious to anyone watching that he was not capable of driving the ball the same way he did the year before... off the top of my head, it seemed many of his long pass attempts were underthrown. This wasn't a function of decision making.

2) made sense when reports of his torso injury came out early/mid-season. And also made sense why he had to be benched even though Van Buren wasn't an upgrade.


I mean he looked fine when he ran a QB sneak against Southeastern at the goal line and was dancing with his teammates.

He didn't seem to lose any zip on the ball throwing into traffic against Ole Miss or throwing across his body against South Carolina or Florida.

I'm not saying that he didn't have an injury, but I think he's just always been who he is regardless. He never really wanted to step up into the pocket, made a multitude of bad decisions in big games , but would show flashes of his potential.

Not trying to knock the guy, but I just don't think he was ever going to be the guy with the jam everyone thought he was going to be coming into the season. And when I get adamant about it, it's because of the other Nuss fanatics that literally scream bloody murder any time you question anything about him.

quote:

I understand it just fine. Nuss was, at worst, an above average college QB. That would be why he’s getting looks from the NFL.


Yeah you're right. Because the NFL isn't littered with drafted players that scouts drooled over and thought would pan out but never did. Ohh wait.....

quote:

Again, even with hindsight you’re still saying this. MVB wouldn’t have provided anything. He’s not a D1 quarterback.


You keep bringing up hindsight. What the frick are you talking about? I didn't need to have hindsight after the A&M game to know that we sucked this year and the season was over. There was nothing left to play for. MVB is awful. He is not better than Nuss. Never was and never will be. But I didn't care that we put him in the Bama game at the time. What are you not understanding about this?

quote:

I literally just repeated your post back to you. So I must have struck a nerve huh?

See how dumb you sound?


No, you got your panties in a wad the first time I said it and now you're addressing it again. You're the one acting like a school girl about it :lol:

quote:

College QBs who aren’t good don’t get looks from the NFL.


This just isn't true. You can get drafted based off of talent alone (see Anthony Richardson) I wish Nuss the best. I said in the OP that I hope he proves me wrong. Maybe it pans out, maybe it doesn't. I wouldn't waste a draft pick on him, but I'm sure you would probably give up 4 1st rounders just to move up for him.

quote:

No. You’re just posting stupid shite that makes no sense. You’ve already contradicted yourself several times and backtracked on statements.

It’s also hilarious because you are the one acting like there are two levels for QBs, great or terrible.

We get it. You don’t like Nuss and think he’s a bad QB. You can be stupid and incorrect if you want to be.


Buddy, you're the one that thinks a QB went 7 TDs, 7 INTs and completed 53% of his passes in games that mattered when "healthy" is above average. Which is laughable. But yeah, I should really listen to you're opinion though!!

You have failed to provide any evidence to validate your argument other than just say idiotic things like "YOU'RE STUPID" or "YOU DON"T KNOW FOOTBALL" because that's what all you dumbass Nuss fans do. Can't argue any point, so you just try and call everyone stupid and make yourself the loudest voice in the room :lol:
WOAH!!! EASY HOSS!!!! I can tell you're a big boy with all the swearing you're doing!!!!

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Nuss didn't play well against Ole Miss, Alabama, Florida and A&M in back-to-back years. I don't care what he looked like against Nicholls or a 6-6 Oklahoma team because that's all you idiot Nuss Bus roadies like to argue.

Those are our biggest rivals and the teams we judge and compare ourselves to.

You live in a binary world. Multiple things can be true at once:

1. Nuss wasn't the main problem.
2. He had a lot going against him
3. He was overhyped to start the year and has struggled (healthy or injured) against the big opponents
4. He is talented and makes some good throws, but mostly leaves a lot to be desired.
quote:

I didn’t say he wasn’t very good. He was well above average, especially in 2024. You seem to have trouble with reading comprehension.


You don't seem to understand what the term "above average" is either because stat padding against Nicholls, UCLA and South Alabama isn't what I judge QBs on. Or maybe you just don't watch the games and just go off of what people tell you to say.

Because 2024 Ole Miss, A&M, Alabama and Florida, he wasn't good. I would say below average outside of one drive against Ole Miss. Those are the teams that we compare ourselves to in conference and our biggest rivals, correct? Kind of important to play well in those games.

quote:

You have the benefit of hindsight and know, without a doubt, that Van Buren was worse than Nuss and this is still your opinion?

Well, that’s…..something.


Buddy, I never said we should put MVB in or that he's better than Nuss. I was fine with the decision to put him in, but wasn't clamoring for it. Sounds like you have trouble with reading comprehension. With the season already over at that point and playoffs out of the question, who cares what we tried? Maybe you get a spark. Maybe MVB throws 8 INTs in a row. Who gives AF at that point?

quote:

I've just never understood all the fans that feel the need to constantly bash him and always blame him and has a melt down when told he wasn’t terrible. It's like a cult and it's odd to me.


Sounds like I may have struck a nerve? Buddy, end of the day, it doesn't matter. I just don't think it's that far of a reach to say he's not that good of a QB and at the same time, I can also say that there are a lot of other problems other than him that didn't help.

More than one thing can be true at the same time. You just live in a very literal and binary world, and don't understand nuance.
