re: Matt Hayes: Jayden Daniels is LSU's QB1, and it's not close

Where I agree you need a lot of talent on offense around your QB and on the defensive side also, it absolutely matters if Nussmeier or Howard is the QB next year. They will have a year of experience under their belt and therefore have a way better chance of winning a NC in the second year versus if JD comes back next year and is the starter, the chances are a lot less that a first year starter can win you a championship. So that puts you 3 years out instead of possibly 2. How many first year starting QB’s have won a championship over the past 25-30 years? Not many, you’re naive to think you just plug a QB in and can win a championship the next year. On rare occasions that happens and the team around a first year QB is so good that they don’t need to carry the team. Flynn did it at LSU but he was a fifth year guy.
