This is so incredibly overblown. Brennan is the clearly much better thrower.
Is it though? You would think after a couple of years of Joe Burrow, you people would realize how important that is. Guarantee the players on that team know.

Based on the way Orgeron has handled this sort of thing in the past I have zero issue with people thinking Myles will start. I think it’s the smart prediction, honestly.

Brennan is a match point client I believe.
Of course Hannagriff says he will start.

I agree. But Max can run. Not the greatest at running but running is in his repritare allowing the OC to call more plays. The RPO is a real thing to opposing defenses when Max is under center. No LB is scared of Brennan's RPO.
Just judging from your posts in this thread, you know very little about football.
An RPO has nothing to do with a quarterback's running ability.

You’re not very smart. Figured this out a long time ago and you always seem to confirm it

Point being, NEITHER guy had much help from their Defense.
I don't know, they only gave up 34 to Florida vs 44 and 45 during Brennan's games.
Gave up 48 in the Ole Miss game but also got 6 turnovers and Ole Miss clearly had the worst defense in the SEC which helped.
Also overlooking the fact that Brennan was playing with a bunch of guys getting their first starts (including in a game that was moved to Missouri at the last minute) while the team Max played with had a season of experience under their belts.

Since everyone is sharing their take I’ll do mine…
Let’s look at not super mobile QBs who won a natty or made it to a playoff and if Myles is as mobile as them:
Jameis winston - no but not by a huge margin
Jake Fromm - about the same
Jake Coker - about the same
Blake Sims - about the same
Mac jones - Jones by a bit
It’s nonsense to say we can’t win with someone as immobile as Myles.
Now, if you think Max’s pocket presence and slight elusiveness trumps Myles passing ability then I’d say that’s valid. But I think we’re also forgetting that Myles’s downside, his hesitancy and uncomfortableness in the pocket, could definitely be fixed and I’m betting that he does figure it out and plays a great season for us. AS THE STARTER.

At this point during Burrow’s first season Orgeron had not announced a starter either. Rantards are blowing it out of proportion trying to convince themselves that it confirms their irrelevant theories.

Myles been in the program longest. He is a season vet. Max really needs shine in camp get the job.

It's because he posts workout vids instead of fishing. Also because his dad played. Key stuff

Ah, so because he is more social media savvy?

Genetics, good stuff there.
I'm good with whoever the coaches pick. I do love saying Max Johnson to Boutte for the score. Or Johnson connects with Boutte. Johnson slings it to Boutte. My apologies, I have a juvenile sense of humor.

no one, not even Burrow can get a DB on the other team to chuck a show like Max Johnson

It's not that complicated. The offense has more yardage and more yards per play under Brennan.

Yes. It's the team offensive average in total. Zero cherry picking

I disagree

Look, I love me some Max Johnson but let's take a closer look at that Florida game. First Max didn't look like a freshman starting his first game, in the swamp no less. But let's start with dumb arse Dan Mullen underestimating LSU and sitting the best TE in the country Kyle Pitts, do y'all think we win that game if Pitts Plays? And then a QB who didn't turn the ball over did that Saturday, LSU defense decided to show up and pick off Kyle Trask and harassed him all day. And then the third down play before the shoe toss, Johnson had three WR routes that would've got us a first down but he checked down to the TE before even looking down field. Kole Taylor caught the pass way short of the first down and if it wasn't for that stupid shoe toss Johnson would've cost us the game. And do I have to remind anybody about the 57 yd FG in the dense fog by our All-World K? I think Max gets way to much credit for the Florida win and he did play reasonably well but he is not the reason we won but he was almost (if not for a bonehead play) the reason why we lost. People always say Max has that it factor but they never ever mention that third down Florida play. I ask you guys to go to YouTude and rewatch the Florida game you will see that Max didn't do anything that special, I mean our WR's were wide open all day. And let's be real guys Ole Miss defense was the one defense worst than ours and he actually keyed on one WR all day and Ole Miss did nothing to prevent that. All I'm pointing out is that if you are projecting Johnson the starter because of the last two games you really need to rethink it. The best case scenario for LSU is for Brennan to start, Johnson as the backup and Nuss redshirt. Because if Johnson starts we lose Brennan to the transfer portal because talented redshirt seniors don't ride the bench nowhere. Now are you more comfortable with Johnson or Garrett Nussmeier as the backup? Brennan will be the starter have a Heisman type year get drafted high and Max taking over the reigns in 2022.
