I agree.
Max wasn't perfect. But, he was able to function with shite for an OL. And, he was very good at reading the defense and protecting the ball while still using the middle of the field.
Except for Burrow, we haven't had a QB able to use the middle of the field as good as Max did.
He was a poor passer downfield. And, he couldn't throw the ball while rolling to his right.
His game matches Jimbo's offense very well.

Yea, but he’s an Aggie now, so frick him.

You’re right he was better in 2020 because the more DCs saw film on him the more they realized he could only do 2 things. By halftime of the Auburn game he had been completely figured out and exposed.

Loved the backward spin pass he tried to pull off... good times
He did pull it off. It was a great play that prevented a sack. I always laugh at the morons on here who don’t get it.

I know the spring game kinda fired some people up about nuss, but make no mistake, it will still be a huge surprise if nuss is the starter.
Not if Kayshon Boutte has anything to do with it. As Nuss not only outplayed Brennan and Daniels throughout the spring practices, but he also outplayed both of them big time in the spring game.
Meanwhile, Brennan has only two more games of experience more than Nuss and Brennan's experience came against exceedingly shitty teams and even then, his only victory was over the worse Vanderbilt team in several decades.
However, although Nuss has slightly less game experience relative to Brennan, he more than makes up for it with his far superior talent relative to Myles. Plus, Nuss was coached up his entire life by his NFL QB coach dad who imparted on his son all of his knowledge, experience, and wisdom and in which is astronomically far more valuable than the very lame experience that Brennan possesses.
In addition, Myles has a very good arm, I'll go along with that. However, Nuss has an elite arm. As Nuss completed several NFL level passes in that spring game that Brennan can only dream of throwing in his wildest wet dreams. As Nuss is a first round talent and Brennan is not even NFL draftable.

Myles is a safe choice and his maturity impressed kelly. That’s the type qb you need to run an offense that nobody has ran before, on our team. If you listen to Kelly , I think he likes Brennan because he just makes the right decisions and reads
Brian Kelly was being generous to all the QBs post spring game because he doesn't want any of them to transfer. As he was just as generous toward Nuss and Daniels, as he was towards Brennan. You are just emotionally attached to Brennan so you hear what you want to hear.
Nonetheless, Nuss not only consistently made the best decisions in the spring game by far, but he was also the only QB to score on all four of four of his possessions.
In fact, Nuss' drives took far less plays to complete and his drives were also far faster, smoother, and effective relative to the other two QBs in the competition.
As Brian Kelly said he wanted the spring game to be as game like as possible so he could see which of the three QBs would perform the best under game like conditions, and Brian Kelly got his answer. As Nuss proved for Kelly and everyone else to see that he was not only by far more talented than the other two QBs in the competition but that he was also the best QB in the competition by far.
Indeed, Daniels scored on just two of his five possessions and Brennan also scored on just two of his five possessions. However, if the truth be known, on that last score Brennan is credited with, he under threw the pass to the end zone badly and under normal game conditions, that ball would have been either intercepted or knocked down to the ground. As it was a fluke that Sage Ryan, the defender, knocked it right into waiting hands of Malik Nabers for the score. Take away that score, and Brennan had the worse performance of all the QBs in the spring game.
Brennan may be the safe choice, but the safe choice is far from the best choice. Moreover, on the football field Brennan certainly isn't anymore mature than Nuss. Plus, unlike Daniels and Nuss, Brennan is an immobile statue in the pocket almost unable to extend plays with his feet and who is easily rushed into making bad throws and interceptions.
Brennan also doesn't come close to fitting in Mike Denbrock's RPO spread offense at the same time. While, Nuss, on the other hand, is a hybrid of Patrick Mahomes and Johnny Manziel and to go along with that, he also has an elite arm relative to Brennan's good arm.
Sorry bud, but this competition is not even close, the redshirt freshman easily beat out with superior talent and decision making the two veterans. Moreover, Kayshon Boutte has also come out publicly to say he wants Nuss to be named the starter in the fall and I highly doubt that Brian Kelly is going to seek to piss off his most lethal weapon in the wide receiver room by naming Brennan the starter.

Just watched footage on YouTube. Kid made some great throws and had super chemistry with Boutte. I think he would’ve been our starter this year
I actually agree that he was undervalued but if in June ‘22 you had to go back and watch his YouTube to realize this than your opinion is irrelevant. He’s not here anymore. I’m not gonna argue who would’ve started this year but I do believe the 2 vets we have can provide the same overall production this year and our 2 young guys both have much higher ceilings.

Nuss has way more talent. We good!

A superbowl winning quarterbacks son should not have major issues with holding the ball to long, throwing high or way short to wide open recievers, trying to force balls into tight coverage when don't have velocity. The Colts o-line won't matter with those issues

quote:First of all, he's still a kid.
He is a pussy, born with concrete boots, and his old man is a douche
Second, he chose to commit to LSU, stayed loyal, recruited for us big time, and signed with us.
Third, he did everything that he was asked to do and busted he arse to try and help us win.
Yes, he's an Aggie now, a choice which I think is questionable as a career move and makes it harder to cheer for him, but that is no reason to shite on the kid or his father.
You can't fault someone for doing what they think is best for them and their family. Don't you think he'd still be here at LSU if there was a decent chance he could win out at starter? If it were your kid, how would you feel about him being labeled no chest when the reality was that he had his shot and there was essentially zero chance that he would get another?
And why shite on the dad? Don't you realize that as a parent, trusting your kid to a program is a much bigger committment than for yourself?
Why not appreciate what they did for LSU and leave it at that? If you don't want to cheer for him at all that's your choice, but at least be classy about it. It's not a good look for recruits and opposing fans to see some of our fans trash former Tigers just because things didn't work out for them here.
I realize I'm wasting my time with this on tRant but it would be nice if at least a few of the tards on this board got it.

I think Brennan will make us forget all about Johnson this year.
Posted on 6/30/22 at 7:27 am to TigerProphet
No Chest and no Heart! Took his ball and went home.

The life accomplishments of the many of the posters on this board could fill a thimble. There’s increasingly less reason to come here anymore

Glad to help out with downvotes

You need revisit the UCLA game.
Max wasn’t going to start this year and he knew it. Therefore, he left to sit the bench in the shithole known as Texas A&M.
