Likely.
Other points that are likely.
Myles will struggle on third down and put the defense in bad positions but our defense will be good enough to overcome those poor field positions against most teams to hide Myles' poor third down conversion rate. Fans will become frustrated and most will not know why until they look at the stats and see the third down conversion rate.
Myles will get injured again and Max will step in and perform well. Sorry but Myles has a propensity to get injured because he leverages the offensive line poorly in the pocket leading to more sacks and at the point of contact he cannot deflect energy very well. Those characteristics lead to a higher rate of injury.

The only way Myles starts over Max is if the coaches are scared that Myles would transfer out that's the only way. Max is clearly the better QB.

Who the hell knows if he wouldn't have been had he played for Urban Meyer at UF rather than "just do enough on offense not to frick up" Miles? It's not like Miles was some creative offensive mind who augmented his approach to fit the strengths of his players. Despite doing very little at LSU Shepard still had a 7 year NFL career.

If mobility is "key" why did Johnson have so little yards coming out of hs? He had a good Sr season with out rushing for very many yards. Brennan broke Mississippi's passing record and still ran for 4x's what Johnson rushed for.
Who gives a shite about what they did in HS? Simply from a mobility perspective last year's stats show the coaching staff CLEARLY thinks Johnson adds the option to run the QB while Brennan doesn't.
In three starts Brennan ran the ball for a TOTAL (gross) of 19 yards.
In two starts Johnson ran the ball for a TOTAL (gross) of 113 yards
Now, do you HAVE to have a "mobile" QB to win? No. But if the coaching staff feels that element is necessary for the offense to fully succeed then there is really only one choice

I wish Myles luck but Max is gonna get a lot playing time!

That's cool to compare stats but remembering that you are comparing a 4th year guy to a true freshman and then projecting those stats into what they should further develop into is kinda big deal.

I mean, we have seen how a 4th year guy who never played also makes big jumps with experience

Brennan showed flashes of brilliance last year
Johnson was extremely steady and smart, especially for a Freshamn, but there was no flashes
Brennan played very well before he got hurt, but he had flashes of brilliance and Johnson didn't?
Johnson accounted for 5 TDs (3 passing and 2 rushing) against Ole Miss to get the W. He threw for 300+ yards just to Boutte (who broke the all-time SEC single-game record).
Also, he accounted for 10 TDs to 1 Int. for a true freshman, scored our only TDs at Auburn and aTm, and led the team to 2 wins against Florida and Ole Miss without both of the starting RBs and without both of the top receiving threats. To win those games without all those guys was pretty brilliant.

While he wasn't this (who is? Tyreek Hill?), he was an electric athlete. If he had focused on WR in high school and youth ball, no telling how good he could've been. He had absolutely no idea how to play the position and still played a ton of ball in the NFL at WR. That is fricking impressive.

every scout, GM, coach ETC has been wrong on player evals countless times.

not the way it works. Coaches are under extreme pressure to win. They don't decide who starts at the most important position based on who might transfer.
They pick the guy that gives them the best chance to win. End of story.
Like I said if it is close to even or a pick'em Myles gets it. Not having a true freshman back up for a running QB is one of those things that is factored into "best chance to win". If Johnson is head and shoulders better than Myles, of course, he gets the nod transfer be damned but if it's close this plays a factor.

Teaching op.
Not only did Brennan not rush for many yard THE ENTIRE LSU RUNNING BACK team did not rush for many yards.
If you and the coaching staff were satisfied with the OL play early last year, we have found the problem.

I don’t care who he played for Russell Shepard would have never been as electric or tough as Harvin, I agree Miles archaic offense didn’t help but the guy had plenty of opportunity at the next level and never emerged as that type player. That’s just one example of many where that clown has been wrong.

No doubt people are wrong at some point in player assessments, Detillier is wrong way more than he is right, you throw enough stuff out there you eventually will be right about something. Even a broke watch is right 2 times a day..

My thoughts exactly
Posted on 6/30/21 at 12:44 pm to lsupride87
When you add in rushing yards / TD's
Brennan - 359 ypg and 3.7 TD/game
Johnson - 385 ypg and 4.0 TD/game (2 starts)
Brennan - 359 ypg and 3.7 TD/game
Johnson - 385 ypg and 4.0 TD/game (2 starts)
