Burrows first TD to Chase against Bama in 19 was similar. No criticizing that. Lol
THAT was an underthrow. Chase bailed him out.

I get the feeling that the Max Johnson fans want to run off TJ before he starts putting things together and vaults past Johnson.
TJ is clearly the most talented passer on the team and anyone pushing for him to transfer doesn't truly like LSU.

TJ has too far to go. He simply cannot throw with touch.

I like TJ, but I don't see him being the most talented passer at all. Biggest arm, sure, but there's more to it than that.
That said, I'm all for him staying at LSU and developing. You never know when you'll need him, or how much he'll improve.

I think the ball was good. Boutte made a great play on it. The defender was way out of position though

Johnson had better numbers than Brennan but he got his against the 2, while Brennan got it against the 1s. It's very very close, but no I'd still start Brennan as of now.

Barring a complete collapse between now and fall camp, it's Brennan and it's not even close. Brennan looked like a senior. Johnson looks like a very good true sophomore. Give him a year to watch and learn and he's going to be very, very good.
Right now, he's just a little too John Fourcade-ish for me.

Johnson has 2 fourth Qtr game winning drives in the SEC

Let's hold our horses on that first one. He was aided by a shoe throw and a hell of a kick by York.

I think TJ is in the toughest position of the 4 QBs because he came here the most raw. That said, you are picking on the wrong problem. He had big issues with touch in games last year, but he had several good underneath throws today where he showed a lot of improvement on his touch.
The problem that remains is that he is still highly inconsistent with accuracy and he still makes some poor reads. We saw that with a few off target throws and his pick today.
As for the poster above claiming there is some kind of agenda, the majority of us don’t have one. I would love to see TJ stay here and try to develop, but he’s facing a really uphill battle. Max is the same age and has similar talent and more polish today. Nuss needs to learn, but he is more athletic, has a good arm and made some great throws today (but also some poor ones). Then you have Walker Howard coming in, who is an even bigger prospect than Nuss.
I don’t want TJ to leave, but I can’t blame him if he does. There will be a number of programs in G5 and FBS where he can walk in the door and start day one. Then he would have years to develop on the field. He just doesn’t have a great shot at that here. That’s no knock on him. It’s just the reality of the situation.

MJ is your starter.

Brennan is in year 5 and still can’t separate. He is what he is.
Johnson has the better upside and we can do more on offense with him
You go with the guy that’s here for 2 more years for sure

LSU had like half their team missing at this point in a game they were multiple TD underdogs.
Max never had Gilbert or Marshall?
He did wonders with Boutte though. They set a receiving record in a game. Having three elite studs like that again would be nice.

If Brennan wins the job, I want him to be significantly better than Johnson doing so. If it's a tossup, I want the guy with room to grow and mature.
I didn't get a chance to watch the whole thing, but I wasn't very impressed with Brennan when I saw him. That TD was kinda flukish, the defender was playing it to be about 5 yds deeper than it was- and it was on a gimmick "fake kneel" play to begin with. If they call some of those 'sacks' I saw in the 1st half, they should call Brennan squatting the same way.

Add in, Brennan admitted last year that he learns way more on the field, not as much in film study.
That's a problem. He's in his 5th year, with relatively little snaps/little on-field experience.
Now take Joe Burrow, who had the Bengals playbook/reads/progressions down, in one month, over zoom meetings and was ready for camp to make muscle memory/timing with WRs. He wasn't learning reads/progressions on the field.

And MB had 1st and goal at the one and couldn't get it in with 4 plays. Doesn't matter how it happened, it happened.
MB had great stats on his 3 games.
Max has two W's in his two starts. Give me the wins over the stats all day long.

Oh so he didn’t do a good enough job of handing the ball off four straight plays?
