He had a lot of games to show what he's got, and he didn't impress me much.

Max's deficiencies:
-long wind-up/slow release
-zero pocket awareness
-average arm strength
-not elusive/poor runner
-inconsistent accuracy

Him holding the ball for 6 seconds made me want to pull my hair out. It never got better all season. Zero internal timer.

half the board didn't want him as a starter the other half did. I personally think Nuss is the starter next year and walker takes over after that

He actually regressed this year which don't make sense, I could see maybe blaming poots but his father was an NFL Superbowl winning QB. You think he would get some coaching from him.

Max’s QBR for the season was 62.7, which was 61st in the nation.

Kid has no business being the starting QB at LSU.

Wish him well.

Max transferring out does not bother me because turn over is inevitable when there is a coaching change, but I think Max is a lot better than he showed this year. Our O line was garbage and the play calling did him no favors. I suspect Max goes somewhere else and develops well.

Okay genius! I’m sure you have it all figured out and have foreseen the future and know we will be okay.

He wasn’t a good QB

And the losers in here that defended him now look like the idiots that they are

When you lose your starting QB, it is a loss, no matter how much lipstick you want to put on this pig.
He was the most effective QB on our staff, so he started.
Maybe one day Nuss will perform as effectively, maybe not.
Now we have a new roster problem to solve, and one that is important to the team's success next year.
This is not an inconsequential loss, no matter how many flaws Max has in his passing game. He was the best we had.

In terms of depth, it's a huge loss.

Max is a fine quarterback...and better than average for LSU quarterbacks since Matt Flynn.

I feel sorry for him that his experience at LSU was the chaos of 2020 and 2021. I totally understand his decision.

That being said, I'd be happy with a clean start at QB with a new coach.

Give him a break. He had zero support from the press box. Our OC was learning on the job at Max's expense and Max was looking at the prospects of facing a third coordinator next year. I hate to see him leave. I hate to see him leave with the season not complete......but give him a break.

Losing a starting qb is always a big loss especially when there is only one other scholarship qb on the roster

We shite on Max for taking sacks but he really didn't take much.


33 all year

Bryce Young got sacked 33 all year too.

shite, Myles Brennan got sacked 9 times in 3 games.

He’s a leftie. Nothing ever felt right about that to me.

I think Max will be better once he learns how to throw with the right arm.

Hopefully the next program he goes to can help him learn to do that.

He wasn’t terrible. But he also wasn’t good and he has zero ability to push the ball down the field
