You are over the edge here.... A HOMER fan at the supreme level......
Apparently, you are too blind to see it, but who in the SEC has a better overall roster than LSU going into 2020? No one!
Call me a homer all you want, but Jamar Chase, Terrace Marshall, John Emery, Arik Gilbert, the OL, Brennan, the returning defensive line players, Jabril Cox, Jacoby Stevens, and Derek Stingley all say differently.

Especially if they want to double chase and they almost have to double chase. I think everyone is going to think they must stop Chase to win and TM is going to go off.

Show me where Myles has proven himself on the field for an entire game.
Brennan doesn't have to be Joe Burrow for LSU to be good enough to win another SEC Championship and make it to the playoffs again.
He just needs to to be solid enough to get the ball out to the elite level of talent that will be surrounding him on the field at all positions.
I'm betting that because of LSU's high octane offense and because of the elite level of talent that will constantly surround him on the field, that Brennan will inevitably be the most prolific QB in the SEC this season.
Now, I'm not foolishly claiming that Brennan will be Joe Burrow good, but he doesn't have to be Joe Burrow good for LSU to win the SEC. All he has to be is very solid.
Not to mention, the defense under Pelini is supposed to be very improved relative to last season as well.
Furthermore, I'm not as concerned about the offensive line as many are because three of the four projected new offensive linemen starters are either former starters or otherwise, have a lot of starting experience. As there will only be one true virgin playing at the right guard position. However, Ed O said the other day on the radio that he thought he would be our best offensive linemen this season.

Ed O, Ensminger, and Linehan said they are tweaking the offense to make it harder for opposing teams to double team or bracket Jamar Chase. Let's hope they are successful.

Very obviously, Joe didn't have time to gel with the team in 2018. While he had a full off season in 2019 to gel with the team and it made all of the difference in the world to hear Joe Burrow tell it. Very apparently you don't hold Steve Ensminger in high regard the same way Joe Burrow and his dad both do. Oh well, I'm sure Ensminger won't be losing any sleep over it.

Burrow specifically said in an interview that when he saw the playbook before the 2019 season that everything was different.

I never said this years LSU team is not talented.... they are loaded...... BUT Myles is unproven so far.... we have zero clue how he will come out and have command for a whole game. Prove me wrong.

I kind of feel like you really believe this
Steve Ensminger couldn’t even play to Burrow’s strengths in 18. It took Brady to control things to actually play to his strengths lol.
They thought so much of Ensminger they were ready to sign Brady as the highest OC in CFB.
And when they missed on him they hired Linehan as the highest paid non OC in football lol

This is true........

I've heard Burrow say on numerous occasions that having the time to gel with the team in the off season and to work on all of his throws from the pocket and off platform throws made all the difference in the world for him. I also heard him say early on that he was also very excited about the new offensive playbook.
However, the transition to the spread actually began in the final three games of the 2018 season. Which is why he was so excited .
As Ensminger always planned to transition to the spread in 2018, but couldn't because the offensive line was so atrocious and the young receivers in the early part of the season were running the incorrect routes almost as often as they were running the correct routes.
So it ended up taking him a lot longer than he wanted, but nonetheless, by the final three games of the season in 2018, you could see the transition occurring and coming together and you could see the offensive success they were enjoying as a direct result.
In fact, in the final three games of the season in 2018, Joe Burrows QB numbers shot up so high that he was ranked in the top three of all QBs in the country. Which was a strong indication of what was to come in 2019.

Ok..... AGAIN.... Answer my question on how proven Myles is????? You make it sound like he is gonna take over where Burrow left off........I hate to break this to you but until we see what Myles can do, we just can’t say for sure how good this team will be this year.......

Okay, you prove to me that he is going to come out and shite the bed.
All we need from Myles is not for him to be Joe Burrow but Myles Brennan, the steady and solid QB, which I think he will and LSU should be virtually unstoppable in 2020.

Teams with MUCH less talent than LSU had in '18 run the spread all over the country and even in high school. Burrow hadn't run any other system before. It made no sense to run the offense they were running. As far as the receivers were concerned, Sullivan was a disaster.
Where I differ with some others on Ensminger is I believe he can call plays and also believe he was able to learn the offensive design last year.

If we just get 60% of Burrow out of Brennan it will be a good season. I think he's capable of doing it in this kind of offense.

bama has four full time returning starters on it's Oline
This is what LSU returns on Oline
Deculus- three year starter
Ingram - fourteen starts - 12 as TrFr in '17 and two in '19. He did play a GREAT deal in '19. Came in the second series VS OU and finished the game.
Rosenthal - three games started. five games played in
Hines - One start. plenty games played in
Bradford/Thomas - RFr- believe Bradford saw some game time. Thomas not a snap.
Grad transfer - three year starter.
advantage bama
As for the RBs. LSU doesn't have a N Harris. At least not yet.

Dude coaches get fired At top tier programs over the 2018 that Ensminger constructed
He just so happens to be coach O’s buddy.
LSU fans were somewhat content with it because of how bad the offenses had been.
But 2019 makes Ensminger look even worse. You had a guy capable of having the best QB season in NCAA history & you had him as a 57% passer with 16tds the year before. It’s laughable
