re: Max Johnson was better than this board gives him credit for.

I know the spring game kinda fired some people up about nuss, but make no mistake, it will still be a huge surprise if nuss is the starter.

Not if Kayshon Boutte has anything to do with it. As Nuss not only outplayed Brennan and Daniels throughout the spring practices, but he also outplayed both of them big time in the spring game.

Meanwhile, Brennan has only two more games of experience more than Nuss and Brennan's experience came against exceedingly shitty teams and even then, his only victory was over the worse Vanderbilt team in several decades.

However, although Nuss has slightly less game experience relative to Brennan, he more than makes up for it with his far superior talent relative to Myles. Plus, Nuss was coached up his entire life by his NFL QB coach dad who imparted on his son all of his knowledge, experience, and wisdom and in which is astronomically far more valuable than the very lame experience that Brennan possesses.

In addition, Myles has a very good arm, I'll go along with that. However, Nuss has an elite arm. As Nuss completed several NFL level passes in that spring game that Brennan can only dream of throwing in his wildest wet dreams. As Nuss is a first round talent and Brennan is not even NFL draftable.

Myles is a safe choice and his maturity impressed kelly. That’s the type qb you need to run an offense that nobody has ran before, on our team. If you listen to Kelly , I think he likes Brennan because he just makes the right decisions and reads

Brian Kelly was being generous to all the QBs post spring game because he doesn't want any of them to transfer. As he was just as generous toward Nuss and Daniels, as he was towards Brennan. You are just emotionally attached to Brennan so you hear what you want to hear.

Nonetheless, Nuss not only consistently made the best decisions in the spring game by far, but he was also the only QB to score on all four of four of his possessions.

In fact, Nuss' drives took far less plays to complete and his drives were also far faster, smoother, and effective relative to the other two QBs in the competition.

As Brian Kelly said he wanted the spring game to be as game like as possible so he could see which of the three QBs would perform the best under game like conditions, and Brian Kelly got his answer. As Nuss proved for Kelly and everyone else to see that he was not only by far more talented than the other two QBs in the competition but that he was also the best QB in the competition by far.

Indeed, Daniels scored on just two of his five possessions and Brennan also scored on just two of his five possessions. However, if the truth be known, on that last score Brennan is credited with, he under threw the pass to the end zone badly and under normal game conditions, that ball would have been either intercepted or knocked down to the ground. As it was a fluke that Sage Ryan, the defender, knocked it right into waiting hands of Malik Nabers for the score. Take away that score, and Brennan had the worse performance of all the QBs in the spring game.

Brennan may be the safe choice, but the safe choice is far from the best choice. Moreover, on the football field Brennan certainly isn't anymore mature than Nuss. Plus, unlike Daniels and Nuss, Brennan is an immobile statue in the pocket almost unable to extend plays with his feet and who is easily rushed into making bad throws and interceptions.

Brennan also doesn't come close to fitting in Mike Denbrock's RPO spread offense at the same time. While, Nuss, on the other hand, is a hybrid of Patrick Mahomes and Johnny Manziel and to go along with that, he also has an elite arm relative to Brennan's good arm.

Sorry bud, but this competition is not even close, the redshirt freshman easily beat out with superior talent and decision making the two veterans. Moreover, Kayshon Boutte has also come out publicly to say he wants Nuss to be named the starter in the fall and I highly doubt that Brian Kelly is going to seek to piss off his most lethal weapon in the wide receiver room by naming Brennan the starter.
