There seems to be a divide on how we feel about Brennan. Some people say he will definitely be the guy and others say he is not ready and may never be. So what is more likely in your opinion:

1. Brennan cements himself in Spring ball and all the reports from "insiders" are that he has developed incredibly well and we are in good hands

2. One of Parrish, Johnson, Finley make a run for the starting job and all the reports are about how impressive one (or more) of them are

I guess I am asking for your prediction and feelings more than facts

Brennan has been getting reps (albeit with the 2s) under the system that LSU is now trying to preserve. 2020 is very much going to be about maintaining the “status quo” on offense, therefore having previous reps from last year goes a long way. Perhaps if LSU was going to totally revamp the offense then the newcomers may have a better chance but that will not be the case by any means.

Very few non-trolls think anything but number 1.

Not saying this is the case, but there is a 3rd option. Just like there was in Spring 2018.

3) Coaching staff doesn’t like any of the options on the roster and seeks a grad transfer or other option that is immediately eligible.

Brennan wins the job is most likely.

Parish struggles to throw it 30 yards in warmups, and Johnson + Finley are true freshmen. Myles is gonna be really frickin good I think, he’s ready for this. Now will he be Burrow? No, of course not, no one is, but that doesn’t mean he won’t be great

Brennan beat out other guys and was #1 on the depth chart before Burrow transferred in. The coaches said it came down to the end before Burrow was able to separate himself just a little. Brennan now has two more years under his belt and will be a 4th year junior. He is physically gifted and was very accurate in high school, I will be very surprised if one of the younger guys overtakes him.

I think these doubts about Brennan are going to fuel some amazing performances. Being compared to Burrow, losing Brady, attrition of so many Jrs...His motivation and drive are going to be off the charts!

Brennan will be the starter when our Tigers take the field to open 2020. He'll be a HUGE component of offseason workouts, individual throwing/catching sessions, and in the ops bldg reinforcing his understanding of our OFF.

The big question is will a #2 emerge who is capable of stepping in if required? A mobile J.B was a HUGE part of our success this season and Brennan needs to be able to bring that same threat into every game. Move to make a throw, and run to make plays and extend drives. With this comes the chance for hits and injury. We need a #2 to clearly emerge. One who understands the OFF and can get invaluable PT early when the score/game dictates.

Honestly, Brennan is going to be fine. In the OK game with our starting OL and backup play-makers, against OKs #1s, he moved the ball effortless down field. He was in complete control of the calls and execution of plays. Yes, we'll be replacing 4/5 of the OL, but we have very capable players moving into those roles and our play-makers will be explosive next year at every position - RB, WR and TE.

Brennan is the only QB to have taken snaps in a game has always had the arm and has improved tremendously this year behind Burrow. Hopefully he learned how to move in the picket. I think the bigger question is who is the backup. Unless Parrish tears it up in practice, Johnson seems the most likely candidate. I don’t see them bringing in a grad transfer

Brennan will have the opportunity ( which he should) I think out of the other three from what I’ve seen on film Johnson would be next

Orgeron gives everyone a fair shot but Brennan comes out as #1

Johnson will move up the ladder to #2 when he gets here. Parrish just not a good enough thrower of the ball to run this,offense. I see him in the portal at the end of fall practice.

The coaching staff can no longer afford the luxury to wait until the spring before they anoint a starter. Cause it takes a full offseason now for the QBs to gel and to build chemistry with the receivers in this new offense. If the coaching staff waits until the spring or the fall to anoint a new starter, then the offense will inevitably suffer because of it.

Hence, if Myles isn't the guy, then it's already too damn late. As only one QB at a time can gel with the receivers. As we can't expect the receivers to gel with more than one QB at a time cause that is literally impossible.

In my opinion, everything for 2020 will hinge on how good Myles Brennan can become as the QB for the LSU Tigers.

As the wide receiver corps, the running back corps, and the tight end corps should all be the among the best in the SEC.

The offensive line I'm guessing will be as good or better than the 2019 offensive line, and the defense is stocked with top of the line elite defensive talent for whoever Ed O hires at DC to mold together another top-ten defense.

Hence, if Myles Brennan can become an upper-echelon SEC QB next season, LSU should have an excellent chance to beat Alabama at home and to repeat as the SEC West Champions.

Please correct your subject line.
The four seasons are not known as Sring, Slumner, Frall, and Winzer, at least not to most people.
