When Narcisse was first being recruited, HE was the gem that everyone wanted. He was the higher-rated of the two. Then he got injured, and his lack of play made him drop, and suddenly everyone jumped on the Brennan bandwagon. Lowell was a Miles/Cameron guy, and considered other schools when they were canned, but Orgeron assured him that the best man would win the job, despite the face that he's intent on running a pro-style offense. Guess we'll see.

My prediction is that Brennan will be named starter -- it seems obvious to me that he's the best fit for the offense that Orgeron wants to run. Then we'll play one of the big dogs and Brennan's one-dimensional abilities will be exposed. Narcisse will be brought in off the bench and show off his skills, and that'll be that.

Really, they are not supposedly running a pro style type of offense, but rather an RPO or some type of passing spread according to Ensminger. Orgeron has green lighted him to do has he feels, and that I will have to see. (If he won't interfere at all because we all know what happened with Canada). But Ensminger is supposed to really open up the offense this season to use the abundance of talent that they have at WR, using the pass this season for the first time to set up the run.

Ensminger will tailor the offense, so he says to fit each QB's particular strengths or abilities, and if that is really the case then everyone should be on equal footing. Narcisse has the higher ceiling of course because of his great talent, if fully healthy the kid can ball, cannon arm that he can throw with touch, physical specimen that is a legit threat running the ball, and I think he is or can be really good with his decision making, so it's obvious he should be in a RPO offense. Myles Brennan of course has really good arm talent, but to me was more of a system type of QB with the quick, fast paced style spread offense that he ran in HS in Mississippi. But he has the smarts to adapt to another system, whatever system Ensminger plans on using him in, we'll have to wait and see. But I'm sure it will be another fast paced, no huddle spread passing attack designed to get the ball out of his hands quickly because he has limited mobility.

but I think LSU has real QB's now for the first time in a long time. Each with different skill sets that can be really good and productive offensively. In all of that McMillan is supposed to be given an equal opportunity also, good luck with that.

Even if O does want to run a straight up old school pro style, which I don't believe that he does (or he wouldn't have made Ensminger the OC, he would have had to call back Cameron as he is probably the only OC in the country who still does try to run that the traditional pro style offense). Even a pro style offense benefits from having a QB is big strong and mobile.

I just have to feel that Narcisse has more upside in that he does offer that component that Brennan doesn't. Not saying he beats out Brennan though. May he best QB win the competition and the other get plenty of PT as well.

I don't know where all you guys are getting that O wants a pro-style offense because all I heard him say this year is that he wants a spread offense.

Also, at the Ensminger OC press conference, Ensminger said his offense would be an RPO/tempo offense with 3 to 4 wideouts. That's a spread. I mean who runs a pro-style/tempo offense with 3 to 4 wideouts?

Not to mention, that a pro-style offense is more complicated to install and for QBs to learn, and Ensminger insisted that his new offense would be less complicated than Canada's offense was to install and learn.
