Or we could just suck for 1 more year and take Arch...

Arch still has to prove it on the field before I get excited about him. And as others have said, more like 2 more years.

Kicker missed field goals wideouts dropped tds.

Indeed. They probably weren't coached to do that, either.

I'm a Nuss fan. The kid has got some of that it factor with a great skill set. .

If he had the "it" factor, he would have played better.

 

[faceman]

It would have to be a special.kind of suck. Teams are probably going to try very hard to do this, of course indirectly.

No, read Bill Polians thoughts on tanking in the NFL. It's not the NBA. Tanking in the NFL costs jobs from the owner on down.

The suck for luck cost him his job.

Instead he looked a lot like Jayden Daniels and Burrow starting their 8th game.

 

[SAINT BIGAL]

Nuss needs another year at the collegiate level. I would think that experience would help more than hurt.

Instead he looked a lot like Jayden Daniels and Burrow starting their 8th game.

He also looked like a lot of bad QBs making their 8th start. Only completing 50% of your passes while also throwing 3 interceptions is not something a top college QB does. Daniels only threw 7 Interceptions in his 2 years at LSU and had no 3 Interception games. Burrow only threw 11 Interceptions in his 2 year career at LSU and never threw 3 in a game. Nuss already has 9 interceptions this year for LSU and has actually thrown 16 Interceptions while he has been at LSU.

He seems like a good kid, but Nuss has a long way to go and there is no guarantee he ever gets there. If he continues to play the way he did against Ole Miss and A&M he will be lucky to get drafted.

For what it's worth, in his 8th start for LSU Jayden Daniels was 21/28 for 248 Yards with 2 Passing TDs. He also ran 23 times for 121 Yards and 3 TD. Though to be fair in his 8th start for LSU, Burrow was 16/28 for 129 yards with 1 Interception while running the pre-Joe Brady LSU offense. Both were better than Nuss in his 8th start.

I do think that a better running game would help Nuss, but Daniels had no running game other than himself and he still played much better in the passing game.

He's 22, the age of many nfl rookies. If he had "it," he wouldn't have folded under pressure like that.

He has three years to play. And we’ll never be bad enough to get the 1st pick. Katrina couldn’t even get us there.

it's not chronological age. Bill walsh said he wants a college Qb to have 36 starts under his belt


hard to do in the modern era, but his point is still true

That would have meant a kid who started for three years. That was rare in any era.

not it wasn't. you know this. during Walshes era Marino started all 4 years in college. Peyton manning was another although a few years after Walsh retired

 

[St. Widge]

Back in the Walsh era it likely would have required a few starts as a Freshman since many teams only played 11 games per year. Which is more rare since freshman often times did not play back then.

I also think that modern offenses are designed for QBs to play earlier. We see success from young QBs all the time now because modern offenses simplify the game for them with RPOs and half-field reads. But I can certainly see why Walsh would want a guy with as much experience as possible to run his offense.

Yeah, but those were the elite of the elite QBs. Lots of QBs didn't get the opportunity to start for 3 or 4 years.
