re: I think Myles Brennan is going to flat-out break some SEC teams this year

nobody hates Brennan. Some of us just don't think he's the best QB on the team.

Cant state this enough. If Max as a freshman, looked better(IMO, but most have to at least admit “almost as good”) as a 4th year guy then what happens when the freshman gets 9 more months of growth vs the guy who has been around and “growing” for 4 years only gets 6 more months of growth because of the injury??? It’s like a learning curve is totally ignored! Yes, Brennan’s arm looked better, but that was it, Max looked better in the following areas- scrambling, poise in pocket, throwing on the run, selling an audible, throwing under pressure, comfort in the game in general, converting 3rd down. He’ll continue to grow in these areas and his arm will probably get better!
Where after 4 years is Brennan gonna get better?!?! The “IT” factor people talk about is real and he’s not all of a sudden gonna develop that “IT” after 4 years!

Some just think that Max Johnson and even Finley, as returning sophomores, are probably going to naturally take a significant step forward. As such, it's probably reasonable to think there is a decent chance that one of them (probably Max) is playing near the level that Brennan is.

Despite what so many people here pretend, Brennan was never playing at stud level. He was a little disappointing at first with his pocket presence and inability to let the ball go. He was showing signs of improving on all of those things. And, to his credit, he put up big numbers and a lot of big plays.

It's reasonable to project Brennan to becoming a much better player than he showed last year. But, it's not a guarantee. And, he definitely wasn't at that level before the injury.
