re: Myles Brennan I am pulling for you!

May the best man win. Brennan had an NFL arm. I’d like to see him start, but, I want LSU to win.

What makes you think he's better than brennan in every regard? Did you watch him at his previous stop? Something tells me no. He wasn't impressive at all and that's against non-SEC teams. He has immense potential but if anyone thinks he's going to put it together that fast at LSU in a few months well you need to come back to reality. He's in big boy league now. This narrative that he's automatically better than Brennan just because coming out of HS he had more physical gifts that he hasn't put together yet in NCAA needs to stop.

You can argue he was held back by the coaching over there but you can only go by what you see. He regressed and noticeably so. Brennan looked shaky in his first start ever but still put up good numbers. Once he got past that game he actually showed huge progression and he did this against SEC teams. Doormat SEC teams are still better than anything Daniels has seen in his division.

Just because this guy can use his feet doesn't make him a better fit in Denbrock's offense especially if your throwing ability is extremely raw which it is. You don't need running QBs in RPOs. You need a threat from the backfield and that's it. You're saying this guy can throw a better ball than Brennan? you're smoking some serious shite. You need to look up Brennan's stats before he got hurt then watch the game film again to see his deep ball accuracy. This guy set records in HS and was on pace to set records at LSU for a reason. Denbrock's offense loves to pound a defense to sleep then throw deep balls over the top which is Brennan's strength. Why do you think BK convinced him to come back?

Daniels has talent that he hasn't put together yet and Brennan we don't know what we have in him other than the sample of what we saw.

Reading comprehension is not strong in this crowd. LOL

He hasn't done enough to be a one and done for NFL. Dude better humble himself if he thinks he's going to use LSU as a pilot for that this season. Either that or the SEC will be the ones to humble him.

Seems pretty obvious to me Daniels is being given first shot at the starting job which is probably why we have seen videos of him running 1st team reps and Brennan with the 2nd team. As a result, Daniels is the favorite to be the starter and Brennan will be the backup or he will transfer if football is important to him.

Again you've seen one small clip of the 2nd practice, in which the rotation was exactly what CBK said it would be.
Day 1 myles ran the team drills with the 1's but we don't have video of thar because the media wasn't allowed in to practice yet.
Also, I wouldn't say burrows mobility won LSU it all in 2019, I'd argue today that Joe's accuracy and ability to get it to the playmakers is what won it all.

ok, but that's because he threw more than all other LSU QBs.

For example:

Brennan threw 43.7 passes his 3 games in 2020. Against bad teams (ranked 5, 10, and 12 in passing yards allowed in the SEC).

Joe Burrow threw 35.1 times his senior year.

JaMarcus Russell threw 23.6 times his senior year.

Tommy Hodson: 28.8 times his senior season.

Statistics don't mean a thing without context, context, context.

Ya, context like not having a running game, a putrid oline, and a defense that couldnt stop a blind one legged man.

A QB who is a threat to run brings an added dimension to an offense. Brennan just doesnt have that. The Brennan fanboys seem like they would rather go 7-5 with Brennan as the starter versus 9-3 with Daniels. Its common sense that a team that has a QB who has the added dimension of running will win more games then a team that has a statue at QB.

---

Daniels has proven he cant take a team on his back and win.

I dont really understand why you would think this.

Why are so many of you in the "he earned it bc he waited his turn" crowd?

The OP never said "he earned it bc he waited his turn". So what is your beef with what the OP actually posted?

He has basically either had

A. the best player in the history of College football ahead of him.

once again, this is incorrect.

In the spring of 2018, it was Brennan, McMillian, and Narcisse. Burrow wasn't here. It was Brennan's job to lose, but after spring, O decided none of the QBs were up to the job and he went out to get a transfer.

So saying Brennan didn't play because he was stuck behind Burrow isn't quite right. He was behind Burrow only because the coaches knew he wasn't up to the job after spring 2018.
