Right but still. Seems he wanted guaranteed playing time then quickly walked that back. But yeah maybe they just gave him 1.5M to be a backupQuote:

Nuss going pro, right?Quote:

Let's all laugh at LSU right now.
Ok, I've been playing nfl draft simulators, and he's on there, so I thought it was done deal.Quote:

MVB can hit the homerun, and lsu always has big play WRs. I can see him doing well there
The guy is not worth 700k. Absolutely not worth anything close to a million or over it. We’re looking 2-10 dead in the face again guaranteeing MVB to start. What did he do this year other than throw some good deep balls to make anyone think he was the guy? We’re talking about a team that lost every conference game by double digits. All of them. And he played in every conference game.Quote:

Maybe this is just a move to sit behind Nuss, let people forget his 54% completion percentage, and try to get a starting spot at another school in 26.Quote:

Really good deep ball, bad pocket presence, bad ball control skills, pretty good athlete, and no touch.Quote:

Why is everyone that can see that this kid is 6ft something and 180lbs not the guy to run the veer and shoot a hater? He will never be able to take the beating required to run this offense. That?s why we were coaching him to hit the ground every time he carried the ball. He and his people tried to hold us over a barrel and demand way over his value. We know we have greater needs and at worse will be back in the same situation at QB that we started last season with more help on the offensive line and a more improved defense if we can finish decently.Quote:

I like him as a player as well as Arnold and LK right now but I will be damned if I defend his agents and mentality and act like we lost anything at the moment. He might have a nice career at LSU, the odds are he will be back in the portal next year if he is still the same person as today.Quote:

The fsu guy will be praised when he wasn't any better than MVB.Quote:

I didn't say I'm not a hypocrite lolQuote:

Fair point! HahahaQuote:
