Agreed. LSU is not in a position to continue to give opportunity after opportunity to a player who lost out in game competition. Yes, TJ can try to practice and improve but in all fairness he is lacking in key areas such as, pocket awareness, accuracy, and leadership. The team simply responds better to Max at QB. To try to go back and give TJ another shot is simply not justified.

Then there is the fact that Garrett Nussmeyer is coming in as well. I really do not see TJ as being nearly as far along as either Johnson or Nussmeyer. Brennan is also coming in January and Walker Howard is coming in the following class. LSU is going to be loaded with taletnted top rated QBs.
