Ed Orgeron Says He Has No Problem Playing Two Quarterbacks

by Staff Reporter

March 28, 201867 Comments

Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports

LSU head coach Ed Orgeron joined the "3ManFront," a sports radio show in Birmingham, AL on Wednesday and talked about the competition at quarterback why he is ok with possibly using a two-quarterback system in 2018.

quote:
"We're trying to find out right now who is going to be our starting quarterback, Orgeron said. "It's a tight race between Myles Brennan, Justin McMillan, and Lowell Narcisse."

"I want to give them all an opportunity, Orgeron said. "Eventually, we will know who the starting quarterback is by the way he acts, by the way he presents himself on and off the field, and by the way he leads the team. And when we feel comfortable announcing a starting quarterback, we're going to do that, it will probably go all the way through camp."

"But let me tell you this... I have no problem playing two quarterbacks," Orgeron said. "If one quarterback can do something very well, the other quarterback can come in do some run for us... we may do that. There are a lot of options we have, I'm excited about all three quarterbacks and so is our team."

For the love of god just give Lowell the crown

You know what they say. If you play two quarterbacks, you have no quarterback. We are used to it by now.

I may be wrong, but didn’t Florida win a natty with a 2 QB system in 2006?

He's going to have these defenses so confused :eyeroll:

narcisse and brennan on the field out of the spread, snap it to either QB, option to hand off to narcisse or pass, brennan run, and more

hg•86 months

Not sure why they keep mentioning McMillan like he has a chance

litenin•86 months

I like having a healthy QB competition with two talented guys. Even if McMillan is as good as Brennan and Narcisse, it feels like having three in the competition is one too many. Like when Davey, Booty, and Nall were all battling for the starting job.

Barbellthor•86 months

Last time we did this, we went to a national championship. Except now I'd bet our dual threat has a shred of competence.

TigerStick•86 months

We went to a national championship in spite of doing this.

alumni95•86 months

JJ was NOT a dual-threat QB. He was forced into that role.

Goldrush25•86 months

He's never even had one good QB but he thinks he can trot out two? Yeah this is going to end well.

GaTiger27•86 months

I imagine the 2018 stats to look like... Narcisse - 2000yd rush, 2000yds pass Brennan - 100yd rush, 3500yds pass

BeachDude022•86 months

If you have more than one QB, you have no QB.

jb21lsu•86 months

Like Florida in 06 when they won the Natty? or how bout LSU in 07 with Flynn and RP? Granted Flynn was the started but we indeed needed two QBS that year.

"I like Ensminger more than Canada!!! Upgrade!! Hurhurgirgur"

EvrybodysAllAmerican•86 months

If they both really are as good as hoped, then we'll have to run a 2 qb system to keep one from transferring.

atltiger6487•85 months

only a total idiot would alter their offensive scheme to try to prevent a QB transfer. Jeez. Pick the best guy and he's your no. 1. An occasional package for the no. 2 (ala Tim Tebow his freshman year) is ok, but nothing more than that. The team needs an undisputed no. 1 QB to rally around.

jpbmill•86 months

Can't wait for Ed O to start meddling in the offense when Ensminger's scheme isn't working! Good thing we don't play Troy this year!

LSU Patrick•86 months

I bet you can't.

the paradigm•86 months

Honestly I don't think he was expecting McMillan to perform the way he has been. If it had been just Brennan and Narcisse, I think he'd figure out a way to play them both. But with McMillan performing the way he has been thus far this spring, it's thrown everything for a loop.

STRIPES•86 months

Totally agree. From all I have been told by coaches I trust, it is Brennan who is clearly #1 followed by McMillan and Narcisse with McMillan just slightly in front of Narcisse.

TigahJay•86 months

Not enough first team reps to develop two starters. This has disaster written all over it.

jmh5724•86 months

whichever one can throw over the middle with confidence. we’re screwed if we have to rely on sideline and deep routes again

NWLAtiger55•86 months

I think Brennan will win the starting job, but we bring Narcisse in some situations like 3rd and short or maybe goal line. Just my opinion.

Barbellthor•86 months

That's what I predict. Or to break up stagnation/give Brennan a chance to watch the game from the side and learn.

mrPresident•86 months

Did Brennan not do that last year?

TigerFanFromBama•86 months

There is definitely not enough 1st team reps for a 3-man QB race(Especially not in fall camp). Orgeron will continue to try his best to keep all 3 guys on the roster by claiming all 3 guys are even and that he is willing to play 2 guys.

STRIPES•86 months

I don't know what some of these nitwits are so enamored with Narcisse about because Brennan is clearly ahead and has much more touch on the ball than Narcisse or McMillan. I am saying this not only from my personal observations but from High School coaches I know who are giving me there opinions after observing the 3 QBs. If you want to "open up the offense and utilize your tremendous talent at WR then the best QB wins and it is NOT close as far as being able to throw accurately and consistantly. Brennan is hands down the winner already. It amazes me that some of the same idiots on this board who screamed and bitched for YEARS about Miles not throwing the damn ball are the same ones bitching about wanting a "dual threat" QB. DAMN, we have been laboring with this pathetic concept for years and it has NOT worked. These same dumbasses are the same ones who swore up and down that Brandon Harris was some fricking great QB and stated Harris would show his capability at UNC under the "great" Larry Fedora. Well, Harris DID show his true talent at UNC and he was benched in favor of a TRUE FRESHMAN. The point is that some of you are just fricking stupid and are clueless regarding QB play and Football in general. Brennan is the clear leader and is far and away the best QB of the 3 but because some of you obviously can't see talent you slobber all over Narcisse who in reality is running neck and neck with McMillan for number 2. This is a fact.

Blob Fish•86 months

Fair argument, STRIPES. We just have to hope that Brennan doesn’t sneeze mid-game and break his femur.

bayoubengalfan4life•86 months

Exactly. I don't see McMillan passing Brennan up or it would've happen last season. But he is needed on the roster. Esp if LN can't stay healthy which he's struggled with n recent years. Look at Pete Carroll offenses at USC and then watch Brennan. He fits that mold of qb that O saw while at USC. My bet is Myles wins the job with Lowell / Justin getting packages. If Lowell can prove to be accurate on those short to intermediate throws which is big n that style of offense then maybe he wins the job.
