There was absolutely too much on Nuss’ plate to be slinging the ball at over 60% of the snaps in his 1st year as a starter. People are forgetting that it is rare for a college QB to be a savior as a 1st time starter.
I agree with both of those things, but I also think that if he was 1st round NFL draft pick special, he would have dealt with those things better. And while last year was his first year as a starter, he has had a good bit of playing time playing in this system and several years to learn the system as a backup so it's not like he was going in with no knowledge of the system and no playing experience.
