So why did Brennan exit the portal and return to LSU?

Surely he did not by thinking he's a backup to a Daniels or Nessmeier. I still believe he's the starter, Nuss the backup, and Daniels runs a few special plays each game.

Why did Daniels transfer to LSU? Why did Nuss decide to stick around?

These posts are worthless.

He saw Nussmeier only. Daniels wasn’t here yet.

He wasn’t going to find a better situation anywhere and certainly not at a school the caliber of LSU.

If you are insinuating that he’s 100% the starter you are wrong.

If he doesn’t start he’s one injury away from starting.

Reality is starting to set in for the Brennan homers.

This is spot on. He didn't have scholarship offers from any big time schools, his only offer was from Southern Miss. He knew LSU was the biggest school he would have a shot at, and like another poster said, he has name recognition and NIL opportunities here in BR. I also think he has a genuine love for the university and likes being here

Like someone already said, Daniels wasn’t even coming yet. If you think BK told him he would start so he came back you’re wrong. I’m sure he was told he would have an opportunity to start just like everyone else. I think Brennan understands he won’t be an NFL QB so he took his final shot to either win the starting job at LSU or just be a backup. Being a starter at Southern wasn’t getting him to the NFL so taking one last shot at starting at LSU was worth it.

Because he lost his gig where he was. Do you want extra sauce with your box combo?

Obviously, he didn't have any better options.

Meanwhile, it doesn't matter what Brennan was thinking. The only thing that matters is he has to earn the starting job and by all accounts it was Nussmeier who was the best and most consistent QB in all 15 spring practices, while also throwing far fewer picks relative to either Brennan or Daniels.

Moreover, Jacob Hester said not too long ago on his radio show that when he attended 8 of those spring practices, the only QB he saw flashing every time was Garret Nussmeier.

And then we all saw in the spring game that Brian Kelly intentionally made as game like as possible so he could see, as he said, which of the three QBs competing for the starting job would perform the best, it was Nussmeier again, who performed the best out of three QBs in the competition and it wasn't even close.

Furthermore, when Brian Kelly came in as the new head coach, he wiped everybody on the team's slates clean. Meaning that everybody on the team has to earn their starting jobs, including the QBs.

Hence, what they did and did not do in the past before the arrival of Brian Kelly, is absolutely irrelevant to Brian Kelly. The only thing that matters to Brian Kelly is for a QB to emerge as the starter, and it looks to me very much like that QB will be Garrett Nussmeier.

Yeah, I've been roasted on here before when I've mentioned Brennan came in with the same class as Eddie Kennison and still hasn't put a stranglehold on the job.

I've pointed out that there IS NO WAY IN HELL Daniels came here without being reasonably assured he would play, when he could be the absolute BMOC at approximately 40% of d-1 schools.

I've also been called a liar when I truthfully say that I don't give a FLYING FLUCK who starts at QB, as long as he gives us the best chance to win.

Anyone who's paid attention can see that Brennan just isn't that good. He couldn't get us a yard in 4 tries at Mizzou. The kid just doesn't have IT. No shame in that. 95% of us humans don't. Nuss or Daniels will start, wait and see.

Obviously to collect his NIL. Brennan doesn't really give a shite about winning the starting job. All he cares about is collecting his NIL for as long as he can and that's why he recommitted to LSU.

I mean, if Brennan really wanted to win the starting job he would have been out there every day with Nuss and Daniels throwing to the receivers. Instead, he barely ever showed up. I mean, ask the receivers.

Brennan just wants to collect his NIL for as long as he can and I can't say that I blame him. More power to him.

Uhm...that's beyond stupid. How? Daniels contacted Brian Kelly first and then asked if he could commit to LSU. Brian Kelly agreed to permit him to commit to LSU to, as he said, increase the level of competition in the QB room.

Meanwhile, Brennan couldn't give a hoot about the winning the starting job. That's not why he recommitted back to LSU. Brennan recommitted back to LSU to continue to collect his lucrative NIL for as long as possible and I can't say that I blame him.

Daniels is far too piss poor a passer to ever be named the starter. However he can help LSU out in wildcat packages.

Nussmeier is who will inevitably be named the starter soon.
