Little concerned about the message it's sending that they keep talking about getting him so many camp snaps and nothing about Lowell. I guess because he was here in spring?

They are expanding how many teams they use in practice to get each player more reps, not just Brennan

My thinking too, just getting Brennan up to speed, to where Lowell is. So everyone's starting on the same level among the freshmen QB's.

I think the Brennan hype is just that, hype to get him superficially in the mix, but if it is serious, it's about preparing him to be the true backup. Also, since Orgeron said they would like the young guys to get meaningful reps in the early games this year (unlike Miles), being backup means first one in.

Sometime after the spring practices, Orgeron said Narcisse might be a good one, but he is rusty, having been away from football for a year. Plus, trying to get Narcisse's legs up to speed after injuries could be in the plan as well.

Narcisse is a fine player, but Brennan is better in pretty much every statistical category. Myles had a higher yards per carry average in high school, while throwing for 10,000 more yards and 100 more TDs. Also, Brennan's completion rate for his career was 67%. Narcisse's was 55%. Oh, and Myles won't be playing on 2 surgically reconstructed knees.

Well, they've seen Lowell in practice since the Spring. Maybe it says something that they are more concerned about getting Brennan up to speed to come in should we need him than Narcisse...

There could be a lot of answers to this...

They could already know they want to redshirt him in order to get the knee as healthy as possible.

They could have already seen enough to know he's not a legitimate option this year.

They could have already written him off completely.

I don't think this tells us anything other than Narcisse really isn't in the picture at the moment.

He's not healthy and hasn't played a lot of football the last two years.

why does this concern you? Who said it all has to be evenly distributed.

They saw Narcisse in the spring

King Narcisse is still recovering from the double knee injuries, can't read defenses yet and has been an inaccurate passer in practices.

Not nearly ready to see the field at QB for LSU.

Brennan is already a light years more advanced passing QB. O knows this and so does Canada. That's why he's getting snaps early.

Miles is long gone. "Quick Feet" aint gonna get you the LSU QB job any longer.........

Nail on the head. I also thing Brennan comes in with more hype anyway.
