I thought he would have just as good of a chance to win the starting job here next year as at any other major program.

Maybe. But as a transfer he now has options. He's going to be recruited. If a school reaches out to him and says that they want him to simply be a part of a QB competition then he doesn't have to go to that school. He can choose a school that tells him they want him to come in and start right away.

Many don't want to believe this, but that is EXACTLY what Burrow was told when LSU recruited him in the spring of 2018. Sure, there may have been a wink-wink, nod-nod, that he was going to have to "win" the job. But Burrow had options and he wasn't leaving OSU just for the opportunity to maybe start. He, because he limited eligibility remaining, was going somewhere he KNEW he would start.

Brennan will likely do the same thing here. First, field calls from interested teams. Then, choose the school that guarantees him the opportunity to start immediately. He don't have enough time left to get into another "QB competition"

Yes.

Simple! He has one more year to show the NFL scouts his capabilities.
No one knows what LSU will be next season. It's a shite show at the moment.
He can pick a program that fits his talent, and needs a QB, and almost guarantee he will start.

This is pretty easy. He is not the most mobile guy, our OL is shite and is going to get worse. The next OC will play the most mobile of Nuss and Howard after he lets Johnson get the shite knocked out of him for half a year.

Brennan will go somewhere that has a decent OL, and a system that highlights a drop back passer.

LSU is exactly NOT the place for Brennan right now.

I would challenge that Brennan wouldve left without any staff changes.

The writing was on the wall for him. He’s losing his biggest advocate and would definitely have to beat out all other QBs on the roster with a new coaching staff. He’s struggled dealing with adversity his entire time at LSU which is the only thing you can affirmatively say about him. Two games is too small a sample size to assert anything about him, have to look at the full scope. Best case scenario for him is to go to a team that needs a QB immediately for him to even have an opportunity at the NFL.

Let’s all be honest, he’s never going to be a starter in the NFL. Poor guy is injury prone and shies away from contact in the pocket. Best of luck to him in the future.

you sure about that? Because I don't think he was going to beat out Max this fall

I don’t know why you idiots keep saying this.

There is zero doubt that had he not broken his arm, Myles would have been the starter.

The only QB controversy was on the rant. If Max’s play this year hast proven that, you are too invested in “your guy” to see reality.

The new staff owes him nothing. Nothing will be guaranteed. Why not go somewhere that someone will invest in you?

I think you make some good points.

we could at least have put him in on obvious third down passing plays.

Holy shite, you’re serious

Are you fishing for downvotes or something?

Myles was the starter this year, until he hurt himself.
That might not be the case next year with both Max and Nuss developing. Myles is not going to risk that, he needs a guaranteed start for his last year.
Makes total sense to me. Best of luck to him.
