Biggest Concern

I do not think that quarterback is our biggest concern next year. After watching numerous replays of games, our success depends a lot on O-Line and D-Line play. In order to win games we have to win the battle in the trenches and we were absolutely atrocious last year on the O-Line. That also being said, I liked what I saw from Nuss in the spring game from a leadership stand point. He was always slapping helmets and hyping guys up. Good to see from basically a high school senior.

OL is always our biggest point of win/failure, as it typically is in football.

If DL turns out to be a concern I would be shocked. From a depth and talent standpoint this is the best looking DL in years.
OL returns starters that have all had significant playing time. Losing Dare hurts but at least it was early enough to get Wire comfortable at LT. Shanahan has worked on getting stronger and has a full year in the SEC under his belt which is huge.
My biggest concern is first time play callers at OC and DC. No one knows how well these guys can scheme and adjust. If Peetz and Jones are above average we have the talent for a big season.

Absolutely. This is the most depth we've had in probably in my recent memory.
I'm really nervous about our OL. Both from a standout player and depth perspective.

I don't believe LSU was very atrocious on the OL last year. However, it looked that way because first Myles Brennan and then TJ Finley, both super immobile, played QB for the first 8 games of the season. As those two very immobile QBs will make any OL look bad.
However, when Max Johnson finally got his shot to start for the final two games of the season, the OL suddenly looked far better. Why? Because of Max's mobility. As the defenses had to respect not only his arm but also his legs. As Max can hurt teams either with his arm or his legs.
Which is why Max Johnson will be the starter for LSU this season. As everything on the offense just runs better and smoother with a mobile Johnson at the helm.
As a passer last season, Myles was only slightly better marginally relative to Max, who was just a true freshmen fresh out of high school in his first two SEC starts.
However, passing is just one of many aspect of being an effective QB, and being only a slightly better passer against a true freshmen QB, is not nearly enough proficiency for Myles to erase everything else that Max does far better relative to Myles.
And furthermore, I highly doubt that Myles is a better passer than Max is today. As most QBs make their greatest improvements from their first season to their second season because the game starts to slow down for them and their heads aren't always spinning.

Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, and Mac Jones say otherwise.

Sorry, unlike you I'm an LSU graduate. Meanwhile, if you don't like it, then sue me.

The above aforementioned are all astronomically far better at maneuvering around the pocket relative to Myles Brennan and TJ Finley. I'm sorry but it is very obvious.
