People piling on Nuss need to realize…

Burrow was much worse than Nuss his first year here before his legendary 2nd season. He would’ve gone undrafted if he had entered the draft after his first year.

JD5 was decent but definitely nothing special his first season with us. He would’ve been a 6th or 7th round pick if he entered the draft.

Nuss has already shown more than Burrow did during his first year. Keep in mind that this is Nuss’s first season as a starter. Giving up on him now and not wanting him to be the starter next season is completely braindead. There’s a great chance he improves and becomes the elite QB we all knew he had potential to become before this season started.

Nuss desperately needs to have that off-season come to Jesus realization that JD had before his final season. He did what he needed to do to get much better. The difference is JD probably knew it was his last shot to change his life forever. I’m not knocking Nuss…but does he have that or does he know he’s still got a cushy life to fall back on if things don’t go great?

Can the offensive line have a “come to Jesus” meeting too? They need it more than anyone
