re: Jordy’s take on the qb battle this morning

quote:

I just don't see why everyone points at Brennan, it's easy to defend when the o-line blows and there is no running game. Brennan still slung it all over the field. If he had maintained that pace the whole year, he'd have almost eclipsed Jayden Daniels career stats. I don't really care who starts at QB. Just hate to see some blame Brennan for 2020 for the two losses. Our leading rusher had like 450 yards on the season. Combine the top 2 and they barely eclipse 800 yards for the entire season. Defense also gave up an avg of 323 yds passing and 170yds of rushing a game. 2019 gave up 222yds passing and 120 yds rushing.

I’m not trying to “blame” Brennan for the loss, I just see a lot of people pointing to those games as reasons why Brennan should start, and I disagree. With an even mediocre defense, we likely win both of those games pretty easily and Brennan is 3-0…but we aren’t discussing who is more responsible for the losses, we’re discussing whether the quarterback performance in those games represents a level that would lead to a successful 2022 season - I do not believe that it would.
