He’s a really really good QB

I mean Heisman potential QB

At least we have to see.

This is silly. Myles hasn’t done anything that needs defending. If he isn’t good enough to start than he isn’t good enough to start. He should only get the job if he gives us the best chance to win.
Everything is speculation at this point, but if it ends up being like the majority seem to think it’s going, And he isn’t the starter, then he’ll he’ll hold the clipboard and make the signals, and be a good teammate. No defense necessary.

Argument for him starting: he has some starting experience, he has the most experience with all other team members, has probably the biggest arm, there's no concern about turnovers, he's tough (finished a game with a season ending injury), and is apparently the best so far at looking off the defense/understanding the offense.

Arguing against: the other QB's are really good, too.

What is wrong with just leaving Myles alone and letting him go where ge wants. We prefer mobile QB's.


He was under no obligation to come back. He knew full well he had no promises to start. Idk how many times you want me to say it.

I also reject your premise that our staff is ONLY looking at mobile QBs. If Brennan was the best option, he would be starting. Simple as that.

Let's get Myles back in case we don't get a mobile QB or Nuss doesn't pan out


Yeah we did what was best for the team. It’s a billion dollar business and these guys are getting paid now. Save your frickin tears

Brennan lost the battle
Wait the QB battle is over? Who won then?

What I do think will be interesting is the depth chart behind QB1. I mean the way the SEC goes most teams end up needing their 2nd & even 3rd string QBs (LSU 2020) most years. So whoever ends up QB2 will likely, due to injury or poor play, get their shot to lead the team. Same for QB3 - He’ll possibly get a chance as well??

In the current conversation I’m having with that guy, we’re both operating under the impression that Brennan is a clear 3rd based on reports. Maybe that’s wrong, but seems unlikely at this point and isn’t really relevant to the argument we are having

His entire argument is that Myles doesn’t have a chance because he’s not a DT and we screwed him. If he starts then I automatically win that arguement but the writing seems writing in bold letters on the wall for Brennan

He should get the job if the coaches feel he is the best option to move this team forward. Period. And I am rooting for him but if it's not him I am 100% behind whoever it is.

You don't think the fact that we didn't convert 1 third down the entire Missouri game reflects poorly on Myles?
no more than Nuss looking lost as a goose, or Daniels looking very average at a pretty weak ASU program

We had no line. We had no running gami don’t know shite about ASU situations

It is a new year. It will play out.

We are all ignorant concerning the QB position

We averaged 40+ PPG but for some reason the guys thinks we lost two of those games because of our third down efficiency. I guess he forgot about the Bo Pelinini defense.

The decade before Joe got here we would've killed for QB stats like Brennan was putting up in 2020.

This is a straw man. No one has said those losses were solely on Myles. People simply are pointing out that that stretch of games is not as great for Myles or our offense as people want to try to say it was based off the raw TD numbers. People in this thread have claimed wild things like there was no drop off from 2019 and it was the best start ever by an LSU QB- which is complete and utter hindsight nonsense.

We also would’ve killed for stats like Max Johnson had last year, and we ran him outta town with pitch forks. Work that one out for me. Maybe raw stats don’t paint the full picture?

You must have forgotten our defense game up 1,484 yards during The first 3 games of 2020. But ok….Myles was the reason for the losses and 3rd down % #eyeroll

Again strawman argument. That’s not what he said at all

Both the defense and the offense can have issues at the same time. Pointing out flaws in the QB play/offense during that stretch is not saying that they were completely at fault for the losses.

And again the only reason those games are being brought up, is because people seem to be convinced that MB is some secret elite QB based on that sample size, because they forgot what actually happened in those games and just want to look at TD numbers.

I think the biggest reason that brennan won’t get the starting job is because of the OL’s iinability to adequately protect him. If they can protect, he can be very dangerous

He wont get that chance because the coaches both the head coach and offensive coordinator already said they prefer mobile QB's.

And 350+ YPG.

It's the QB's job to score points. 40+ PPG with an absolutely depleted roster seemed pretty impressive to me. Call it whatever you want.

The idea that Myles is the more proven commodity than Daniels is, quite frankly is hilarious.


What’s hilarious is that no one said this yet your little mind told itself someone did say this so you felt the need to defend something no one ever said. Lol that’s funny.
