More yards does not equal best start in LSU history. He was not good versus Mississipi State. A 45.1 QBR, less than 60% completion, 3-2 interception ratio and 5-17 on 3rd downs does not equal a good performance. Sure he threw for a lot of yards but anyone will if they throw 50 passes. Against Missouri, he was a little better with 60% completion and a lot better with 4-0 td to interception ratio but again he struggled on 3rd down going 0-10 on 3rd downs, and that is still not cutting it. He also took 9 sacks in those 2 games, not all his fault but his pocket awareness isn't where it should have been coming into his 3rd year in college.

I'm not saying Max will be the starter, I'm saying you're a fool if you think there isn't a competition for that spot right now.

Max gives LSU a better chance to win games.

You’re using a team stat and putting it on an individual. We had 3rd down running plays we didn’t convert, we also had 3 or 4 3rd down passes completed just short of the sticks that we converted on 4th down. Brennan’s individual 3rd down% was something like 32% which was almost the same as Johnson’s.

“Sure he threw for a lot of yards but anyone will if they throw 50 passes. “

Johnson attempted 19 more passes than Brennen yet Brennan still threw for more yards, more TDs and completed a higher percentage with a better passer rating.
