1. I don't think he is going to transfer here.

2. If he did, it would be because (just like Burrow) he was promised the starting QB job. Again, just like Burrow, a grad transfer isn't going to go to a school to "compete" for the starting job.

3. None of us know how the staff feels about Brennan. Clearly two years ago they didn't think he was the answer. Has there been enough development to change that opinion? We don't know.

The ONLY way I see the staff seriously considering bringing a guy like King in is because they think Burrow's ability to run was a huge aspect of this offense (it was) and Brennan simply doesn't bring that to the table. While everyone would love to recruit and develop their own superstar QB, it's clear you can have great success with transfer QB's and that method of roster building isn't going away.

LSU is going to have to be able to score a ton of points with everything they are losing on defense

A spread option offense centered around King fits right into that. His running ability would create huge plays in the passing game. Him in the backfield with Emery & TDP would be unfair as well
