Wait What now
Why are you responding to me? I didn’t post that...but I will respond to it.
If Myles had left, O would’ve gone hard after JT Daniels or another QB, which he didn’t bc Myles was here.

Another concern I have is if we go out and get Fields or someone similar then the SEC throws in the towel, we will have damaged our recruiting cred with kids that we are going after. I.E., Coach is only concerned with his own self. This is academic though if Brennan has expressed any reservations about playing to the coaching staff.

The only reason O would have reached out to Fields IMO

Totally agree!!!

Coaches aren’t feeling to good about rolling with Brennan. Whether that’s due to talent, leadership, or whether he’ll play or not due to COVID... or some combination... the fact is *they would jump at the opportunity to get Fields.*
untrue aside from they would take Fields. He's a talent so of course they would take him. If Brennan was hurt you could have a talent like Fields behind him or vice versa

Brennan just doesn’t seem to have *it* and it baffles me. If any of us had to sit and watch as a backup for 3 years we’d be ripping our shirt off and crushing Red Bull’s over the chance to finally lead this team

Oh and by the way they’ve probably considered the whole route tree issue . So the fact that they would still jump at the chance to get Fields tells you all you need to know.
Brennan has done everything they have asked him to do. I know this because I also have talked to people in the building. They are 100% comfortable with him going into the season. Quit reading a kids twitter likes. In fact you'd probably be appalled if you were to read half of our teams twitter likes. Brennan isn't sitting and he's given the staff zero indication that he would consider it. If he has a good season, he's going to get drafted.

LSU was fricked in 2018 before Burrow came. For anyone who followed spring ball closely it was obvious.
Brennan wasn’t even the starter, McMillan was outperforming him. We owe Brennan nothing, let’s just be clear about that. There are no loyalty points in football unless you can play

This is bigger than a Brennan/Fields issue. The roster is essentially full at this time and to bring in outside transfers now would force someone to be processed after working all spring and summer, largely on their own.
Also transfers would have to count against the incoming recruiting class. I dont think you process anyone from there. I believe we have one spot left in 2020 class...

To be fair, was he really being coached properly?
I do agree with you that we owe him nothing. It's football, win at all costs.

For Justin Fields, a Top 5 pick and Heisman contender at THE position? Are you fkn kidding me?
And yes we do have one spot still available from undersigning last February

cream rises
I doubt McMillan and Narcisse etc were being maximized, but the bottomline is that Myles was struggling to pull away from an average CUSA level QB
We are talking about Justin Fields here. The kid put up crazy numbers last year as a true soph in year 1 of a new system. Are we even confident how much Brennan has developed under Linehan without Spring ball and now a delayed camp?
The people who are saying "we don't need Fields" are really taking a leap of faith. We are widely viewed as a fringe NY6 contender with Myles, where as we'd be a Repeat contender with a player the caliber of Fields at QB
Posted on 8/13/20 at 10:32 am to burreauxxx
I fall in a spot where I think we do have bigger needs than QB, however if there was a way we could get Fields I do not think you can tell him no.

I don’t think a kid who “Was struggling to pull away from an average CUSA level QB” can rewrite the records book like Myles did in Mississippi… Dude is a stud.
Posted on 8/13/20 at 11:21 am to Mathias5k
there's just no other spot that moves the needle like QB. When you can get an elite one you do it
What do we need? If Burrow was still on this team we would be preseason #1. I guess I don't see any real holes like you do other than uncertainty at QB

Really like Myles’ dedication to the program, but some of you get way too carried away in your fandom. If Myles was a stud, he wouldn’t have come here and done nothing for his first 2 years. He should have beat out Lowell and Justin with his eyes closed.
The record book talk is nonsense. He was playing in the private league. Sure, he was a good college player, but he wasn’t Brock Berlin coming out of HS. The point is most likely moot, but you don’t pass on a top 3 pick bc you owe your qb on the roster something.

Why didn’t Fields beat out an utterly horrible Fromm? He plays lesser schools, such as Rutgers, FAU, Miami (Ohio), Maryland, and Northwestern. We don’t owe Myles anything, but he can sling it. Also, you’re speaking in past tense like Myles is washed up and a joke.
Posted on 8/13/20 at 12:13 pm to VolTiger13
you were told both parties would jump at the opportunity
So, that means ed would do it, correct?

Fromm was a much better qb his first 2 years than his last 2.
Can he sling it though? I know he’s got a strong arm, but can he make all the throws?
I don’t think he’s washed up or a joke. If he was, the coaches would have pursued a transfer qb. I do know for a fact however, he is lacking in the pocket awareness/composure and touch throw Dept. I trust the staff, and they chose to ride with Myles. I’m just saying if you can add an NFL qb, Myles will get over it.

That is correct, chalky
