I'm gonna go with Myles. He can read a defense far better. Maybe we use max inside the 5 some. max was doing very well. there was some atrocious playing calling when we couldn't punch it in.

Max is not the backup. He is the starter.

But in terms of ceiling, Nuss has the highest ceiling. Just not as ready yet.

If true then O needs to tell Myles so he can go find a new school. If not he loses the trust of all the players

What’s the obsession with “I told you so!”?


It’s not even I told you so. He has no idea who will start at QB he’s just emphatically stating it will be his guy.

Lmaooo nice way to convince yourself but Max starts


I really don’t know who will start. I don’t really care either as long as the coaches feel it’s the guy who gives us the best chance.

But threads like this and posters like you make me really want to pull for Brennan.

If Max doesn’t start you should be banned.

It does matter. As upper echelon SEC teams who can get after the QB can shut down Myles Brennan because of his immobility. Given enough time, Myles is a good enough QB to beat most of the teams LSU plays, but the upper echelon teams will simply shut him down via the pass rush and blitzing and beat LSU.

Meanwhile, because Max is far more mobile and elusive, we will have a far better chance to win those games. As he can hurt teams that try to smother him via the rush and the blitz.

Uhh, that hasn’t been decided on the practice field yet. SWAG is the proper name for this post.

Really? Nuss?. Sorry no. Yes he has some Maziel in him for sure but he is a bit short and light in the arse to be an every down QB in the SEC. Nuss to me can be a great change up QB for us in that you run a certain option type offense with him to confuse the defenses. He is also a very good passer which helps. Ole Miss has that with Pumlee although he can't pass as well as Nuss.

Walker Howard may be our next great dual option QB who has the size and mobility to be an every down QB.

I’m curious, how much does LSU pay you to evaluate talent and select the best player(s) for their system?

Oh, they don’t? Then shut the frick up and let the coaches do their job. You sound like the fricking dads that all surround the fence at a high school game talking about how much better they’d do than the coach.

or let Myles transfer out before playing a defense lie that, youre nute


Myles isn't transferring anywhere. It's already too late for Myles to transfer out. If he wants to impress NFL scouts that is. To be able to impress NFL scouts, Myles is going to need a full off season with his new team first. Otherwise, he will struggle and impress shite. Hence, he'll remain the backup for 2021 and transfer early 2022.

Moreover, the threat of losing Myles to the transfer portal isn't even going to be a consideration in the starting decision. As Ed O's job hinges on how many wins and losses he accumulates. Thus, the QB the coaching staff believes gives them the better chance to win the most games will be the starter.

The insider talk isn’t real friend. If it was, Brennan would have transferred out.

The spot will be earned. All of this chatter is pointless.

I love it when QBs play looking over their back shoulders because of a short leash. As those QBs inevitably make unforced errors trying to separate themselves from their competition and end up losing the job. I seen it happen over and over again.

Ed O said that he and the entire locker room already know who the starter is. Hence, since both competing QBs are in that same locker room, they obviously do too.

As far as Myles transferring goes, it's already too late for him to transfer and then become proficient with a new offense and receiver corp if he wants to impress NFL scouts. He is far better off remaining the backup and then transferring early in 2022.

you have the basis of a ponzi style investment strategy.

I would play them both. two series each. see how they do.

Of course, that's why there's such a large Myles Brennan fan base. The back up is always more popular

Nuss is 6"2' and Mike Scarborough says he saw him the other day and said he is already up to 190 pounds. Hence, he should be over 200 pounds by next year.

Nuss will play two seasons and then head off to the NFL. Then Howard will also play two seasons and head off to the NFL.

Stop assuming I'm nearly as stupid as you. As I have eyes and common sense unlike you.

Didn’t call you stupid. Didn’t disagree with any of your points either. MY point is that the coaches will make a decision on what they feel is best for the team. Your analysis is pointless and the constant arguing on this board about who will/should start is fricking retarded.

Go with Brennan and have max as a backup. Do not destroy both qb mental edge in one season. Let max ease into the starting role. That way we will have both Qb this season and max will have experience next seaso. And do the same with miss and walker.

This is just mind boggling we keep seeing these threads. Re-watch Max's games. He was good for a FRESHMAN. He was not spectacular in any regard. Myles was a far superior QB last season than anyone else we saw. Max would have to make GIANT leaps forward to pass Myles (or Myles isn't 100%).

We have seen nothing that suggests Max will just automatically beat out Myles.
