Well boys, I think we have us a QB!

Don't know why the downvotes

The QB runs early. And being able to execute the Zone read and RPO makes a huge difference. Brennan and Finley take half of our offense off the table

Finley played well in one game. Harris played well in one game a few years ago. One games doesn’t mean we have a QB. Brennan was way better than either of the freshman I am not sure the obsession with moving on from him.

I'm no X's and O's guy, but our scheme seems to require some kind of running threat at QB. Otherwise, it's just inside handoffs to the single 'back. With Johnson, he can tuck it and pick up 7-12-yard runs on the outside. Those add up during a game.

Not to take anything away from Findley, but Johnson seemed to have a different demeanor out there and the offense really bought into it. Unlike past games where it seemed like we got frazzled, the offense played as one and I think a lot of that had to do with the business-like attitude Johnson showed. He never appeared to get too high or too low and remained focused on the task at hand. His ability to run also kept Florida's defense on its toes, which reminds me of another QB we had recently. Great win! Geaux Tigers!

Well I would just say the Coach O and whoever is on the staff in the sprig has lots of game tape to evaluate.

1) Brennan played 3 games
2) TJ started 5 games
3) Max started 1 and 100% gets the start vs. Ole Miss.

Brennan played well vs MSU, Vandy and MIZZOU. He had the full compliment of offensive weapons (Marshall, Gilbert, Racey). However, those 2 of those teams are lets face it horrible (VANDY and MSU).

TJ played well vs SCAR and Arky, horrible vs Auburn and Texas A&M. Not going to judge the Bama game because they make everyone look bad. SCAR and Arkansas again or not good, Auburn and Texas A&M 6 and 7 win teams respectively, TJ did not play well. He like Brennan had most of the top weapons available for all 5 of his starts (Marshal opting out for Bama and Racey until he got hurt at Arkansas but he did catch a TD).

Max played well in backup role to TJ. Last night vs Florida to me was the best performance by any QB this year. Went on the road and beat a 8-1 Florida team and look at the playmakers he was working with. No Marshal, Gilbert, Racey and in the 2nd half, no Emery or TDP.

Max to me allows you to run the offense more like you ran with Joe, more RPO and the zone read as a QB run option and you can bootleg and roll him out. No he is not LaMar Jackson, nor for old schoolers, Steve Young or real ole schoolers Fran Tarkenton, but he has pocket mobility and can extend plays and gave LSU 58 rush yards on 18 attempts last night

I hope all 3 go into spring and compete but Max might have the better skill set for the type of offense O said he wants to go to and what we had last year. So if Max wins the job in the spring, then both Myles and TJ are going to transfer, that is the reality of the QB position. If Myles gets healthy and wins the #1, then whoever is 3rd (Max or TJ) is going to transfer.

Like what I saw last night and IMO, best QB performance by any of the 3 QB's LSU has had to play this year given team playing was Florida, on the road, and Max did not have Terrance Marshall, Arik Gilbert, Racey McMath out there to throw to. I am going to listen to Rohan's breakdown with Jimmy Ott coming up at 10am.

Max is clearly better.

Yes sir we do indeed. Just need a little coaching and some time with the team getting use to his style and left arm.

Until he has a bad game.

He looked good but I’ll hold off on getting to excited until I see a few more games.

Agree
