What's the chances we have a similar situation next season with your HC wanting one guy and your OC wanting another? It's common knowledge that Canada wants a dual threat QB, and if Narcisse is healthy and has any ability to throw the football I have to believe Canada would prefer him. On the other side, O seems to have a crush on Brennan (for good reason) and I see him preferring the traditional drop back pocket passer.

If both live up to the hype it's a good problem to have, and of course there's a chance we could see both I guess.

No chance. There's a clear reason Brennan was the backup and it wasn't because O has a crush on him.

How is it common knowledge Canada wants a dual threat?

I'll be curious to see how Brennan handles next years schedule. Very little cupcake games.

I certainly hope that there is a QB battle next year, that would mean that we have 2 good ones.

While Brennan runs the offense very well, he makes too many mistakes in reading coverage, which is why he isn't playing in these crucial games down the stretch.

While Narcisse has more upside, that doesn't mean he will reach it, most never do. We know he can run and throw, but until we know that he can read defenses and play within a system, then Brennan is the clear leader.

Brennan received much better coaching in HS, so he was much better prepared to play. Between needing his knees to heal and learning to play within a true system, it was very good that Narcisse was able to redshirt this year.

Whoever our QB is, I’d like us to be fearless in our usage of our QB. Run him as part of the offense like Etling ran against Tennessee. This offense screams out for QB mobility.

All I can guarantee is, whoever the QB is, the rant will bitch and moan.

If u think O is anywhere close to being comfortable with Brennan at QB, you haven’t been paying attention. Somebody will have to earn the job and develop trust.

what difference does it make? if they are both serviceable, the emphasis going forward is on recruiting and developing OL and DL in order to get back to dominant LSU Football. My nod goes to Brennan but I bet we use both...

Right now it's fun to act like we have 2 awesome QBs who will compete for the job. I hope both are good enough to play all year in some capacity. Reality and experience says one or both won't do very well.

No matter the QB next season look for the Tigers to struggle. Not enough experience at the QB or RB position.

Narcisse is now 3 years removed from playing any meaningful football. He has 2 reconstructed knees.


The kid has missed 3 very important developmental years. I find it hard tho believe he won't be rusty as hell, and understandably so. If he gives us a better chance at winning then so be it. I trust the coaches who get paid millions and actually get to see them play to make those decisions.

Honestly have no clue of what will happen. I'm a Coach O fan, but he has been a contradiction this season when it comes to the offense. He said he wanted the spread offense, we got the shifty pro-style. He said it would be a open competition in the spring, and from a few posters on the rant who were at scrimmages it wasn't. He said he wouldn't mess with the offense, he has. He wants to give Brennan reps for game experience but when LSU had leads in the 4th, he still had Etling in the game. With that being said, whoever O decides he wants to play next year at qb, I think both qb's will better prepared and more productive in year 2 of Canada's offense.
