And what are you basing this on other than seniority, which is a stupid reason? This is just wishful thinking and nothing else. He might start, and that’s fine...but this is not a done deal.

I clearly stated in my post it has ZERO to do with seniority. Has everything to do with having a Qb that can make any throw on the field along with embracing the field general role which I didn’t see in 2020. I was hugely skeptical of Brennan coming back and thought he’d be better off at another program but his improvement is night and day compared to the last couple seasons. I bet you’re one of the queers who said Johnson had the “it factor” last fall and Brennan just didn’t have “it”.

And to be brutally honest Daniel’s is too quick to abandon the pocket and doesn’t make his progressions. He thrived in a spread offense early at ASU but Kelly will not be running a spread offense like Daniel’s is accustomed to. He’s got an incredible arm but doesn’t trust it.

And by the time fall roles around Nuss may very well set himself apart. He can throw the ball with confidence and tuck and run when the pocket collapses. He has skill set similar to both Brennan and Daniels. He’s not as fast as Daniels and not quite as polished as Brennan throwing the ball but he gives the best of both worlds.

I also had the opportunity to watch these guys in spring practice a good bit, which I’m basing my opinion on and conversations I was lucky enough to have 2 formal quarterbacks who attended practices that offered their thoughts. A lot can change between now and fall but Brennan is in the drivers seat.

ETA: Kelly will also not be running a 2 Qb system full time like he’s done at ND a couple times. He will specialize a couple special packages where we’ll see a Qb other than starter come in and get snaps in certain situations.
