Finley and Johnson might be the best QB competition we've had in a long time.
Burrow and Brennan were neck and neck after 428 snaps each in August 2018 just two years ago!
Joe barely beat Myles out!
The two quarterbacks handled a near-equal number of snaps during preseason camp. One took 428 snaps and the other took 427, the coach said.
Joe barely beat Myles out in 2018 to start vs Miami
“If the starter does not perform well against the Hurricanes, "we will have no problem putting in the second-team quarterback," Orgeron said.
"Either quarterback could have started," the coach said. "It was very close. It wasn't lopsided."
The coach said the quarterbacks were graded regularly on "the things we want to see our quarterbacks do on a daily basis. ... Every situation was given a grade, given a percentage. Our players saw it, they knew it. They were seeing the grades so it was obvious to everybody."

I hate to break it to you, but that was just coach-speak to make sure his only backup QB (after two other QB's had left) remained on the team. Burrow was the starter from the day he transferred to LSU...even if it wasn't specifically said.
He wasn't leaving OSU as a grad transfer with only two years left to play to simply just "fight for a job" elsewhere. He could have stayed at OSU and "fought for the job". Like most grand transfers, he wanted to go to a place he could play right away.
Also, if the coaching staff was so high on Brennan at that time they would not have even considered recruiting a QB who (at the time) had LESS significant game experience than Brennan.
We can tell all the happy feel good stories we want. The bottom line is actions speak louder than words. LSU wasn't confident in ANY of their QB's following the 2018 spring and when the opportunity arose (almost a month after spring ball) to get someone new who could come in and start, they pounced. The rest is history

Experience usually pays off for Tiger QBs. Matt Moack, Matt Flynn, Jeaux Bureaux were all seniors or 5th yr guys. Trevor Lawrence, Jalen Hurts were totally extradenary having the season they had as first yr starters. Bryce Young has a good chance to join Hurts & Lawrence this yr if you have seen his tape from last yr.
