And I am Sure no one is biased by knowing him for like 4 years and being friends with him.

It isn’t that he can’t win the job. It’s that he hasn’t been able to win the job until now and he’s in his 4th year and hasn’t been sitting behind any world beaters.

And you based all of that on what? When did Brennan show those great attributes? Do you feel dual threat QBs are incapable of passing in general or just at LSU? Who had the better passing game on Saturday? Who was more effective on Saturday?


He made some throws Saturday that neither of the other two would have or could have made. I did notice McMillan miss multiple very short, what should be high percentage throws. Missing those are drive killers. I feel like dual threat quarterbacks in the offense we’re trying to run aren’t capable of succeeding. Especially when you look at the guys that have been our backs for the past many years, we haven’t needed a dual threat guy. We’ve needed a guy that can keep the defense from putting nine in the box.

I don’t give a damn about a glorified scrimmage in which sacks aren’t counted apparently and they haven’t even installed the entire offense. I do know that I saw a guy more than capable of making every throw and for what we’ve been wanting recently, he seems to fit the mold.

The fact that all of these idiots are hating on JM is hilarious. I bet if he gets the starting job and does well, they will be one of the first ones to d*ick ride him and ask for a pic and autograph when they see him.

Well actually someone did know. A number of players have said McMillan was legit and could win the job, including Harris, Etling, Chark and Moreau


Yeah because his teammates are really gonna say that he sucks.

I’ve already said that I will eat the crow if he gets the starts and does well. I just don’t see it happening. I see more of the same with him.

So you saw Brennan make some throws the other two QBs couldn't make during the scrimmage that you don't give a damn about? And I guess you don't give a damn about it because McMillan outperformed Brennan in that damn scrimmage. And your basis for feeling Brennan is the best choice for QB is the throws you saw him make during the scrimmage?

You saw McMillan miss some passes? Did you see Brennan miss any passes? Did you see the interception thrown by Brennan? You do know interceptions are drive killers as well, right? And more damaging than a missed pass which can be followed by a punt.

You never answered which you thought performed better in that scrimmage. Or which passed better?

Somehow you and many like you feel a dual threat can't stop a defense from putting 9 in the box. And you assume every dual threat at LSU will be the same as any that came before them. Ever heard of Deshaun Watson, who threw for 400+ yards in back to back years against the vaunted Bama defense? He is a dual threat.

McMillan isn't Deshaun Watson We beat out the likes of Arkansas State for his services. I realize teams find a diamond in the rough occasionally but let's be realistic. He's a dual threat guy with a below average arm who's older and more experienced than our other 2 options

If McMillan gets Orgeron fired faster I will be happy.
You're forgetting somebody; an even more desirable "Termination" that will also be included if O goes.

I like O personally, but just don't think he can get it done here. In over his head. Don't like many of his decisions so far. (Grimes retention in first season. Mickey Joseph hire and retention. Canada fiasco. Ensminger promotion. Dennis Johnson promotion)

Just think it's a matter of WHEN, not If with him. Don't think he has what it takes to win big time in the SEC. Will be consistent 7-8-9 win seasons.

Don't really care if 2018 is a really bad "sacrificial" season either, if it initiates the total house cleaning that's direly needed. I'm more concerned about the "Overall Program" than individual wins. (As all the fruit cake nut butter cheerleader's are)

Hope like hell that Fleck, Kiffin and Norval kick arse this season and emerge as legitimate candidates in 2019 if the need arises. (If the need arises. )

If we lose to Miami (they'll be ranked higher than us) I think the wheels could come off quickly. That would be a likely 1-2 start. I'll never root against lsu no matter who the coach is but it's a very realistic possibility

We don't win the sec if that change wasn't made. Don't lose in the title game. Maybe Les is still here because that rematch would never have happened.

I feel like more people we're pissed for losing that game, then if we just never made it and won whatever bowl game.

And ended up quarterbacking the majority of LSU's only undefeated season.
Cruising along and running smoothly at 8-0, then Ding Dong inserts Ring Ding back in there and effectively killed any chance of a NC, as the Offense was "Out of Synch" the rest of the season.

I didn’t see Brennan miss any 2 yard flat routes to running backs. I didn’t see Brennan’s balls dying on him out there like McMillan’s and our quarterback from last year. I did however see Brennan be on time and accurate with a lot more of his throws than McMillan.

Take away two throws that would’ve been sacks on both Narcisse and McMillan and Brennan looks the best.

Hell, those two didn’t even manage to complete 50% of their passes.

I think, Brennan threw better. Yep, that’s right. I think Brennan showed that he has what it takes to be our quarterback. If you fix the offensive line, Brennan blows the other two away.

First, I never said dual threats can’t perform at LSU. I said that with the offenses we’ve trotted out there for years does not allow for a dual threat to flourish.

Second, your comparison of a two time heisman trophy finalist and a guy that would’ve won offensive rookie of the year this passed year in the NFL to what we’ve put out there is laughable to say the least.

You don’t know a thing about quarterbacking and it shows.

agree completely. I'll never understand the "I'll never root against LSU, ever" crowd.

Sometimes, for the long-term health of the program, you have to endure some short term pain. Otherwise, we let O linger here at 8-4 for a few years, recruiting suffers, and it's much harder to dig out of that hole.

Better to end the O experiment sooner rather than later.

(I wonder if the same people were rooting for Curley, even after it became painfully obvious he was the wrong hire).

J. Lee was a top three Texas QB as well.




J Lee was benched with 152 QB rating and going 14 TD's vs 3 Int's in the 2011 season while playing for a offensive coaching deficient team according to this board.
Whatever you think of Lee he was the best on that team.

No one hates McMillian, but I do hope the best qb plays and CEO chooses the best of the 3.

He looks like the best option.

You won’t get most of the guys here off the Myles Brennan train though. In their minds he is already the starter which I think is ridiculous. In my eyes he looks too small.
