You cannot argue against what Brennan did in his 3 starts. 375 yds 3.5 TDs and 38 ppg. Those are Heisman numbers. He just has to win the job. The LSU QB will have great weapons.

You can. The opponents weren't that good. Seemed pretty obvious to me he would struggle when we got to the meat of the schedule.

If they gave out heismans in September. (well, October that year, but you get the idea).

Or what?

Myles is a good QB. Never seen anything to convince me he'll be a great one.

He has only 2 fewer starts than Myles, and Nuss's opponent was much tougher. Plus Nuss punked Myles in the spring game and everyone knows it.

My thoughts about Myles.

I don't remember. How does Brennan's numbers compare to Burrow's first three games in 2018?
Like 2018, I don't remember a Chase, Jefferson, Marshall, Moss, or Heliare on the 2020 team.

Well Burrow led a dramatic comeback on the road against a team favored to beat us. Myles was 1-2 and we were favored all three times. Sometimes you just know. Burrow felt special after that Auburn game. Myles never felt special.

The spring game is barely less important than three games against bad teams two years ago.

Yup, Myles lost those 2 games all by himself.

You mean the three games he played quite well in?

Look, I hope Nuss becomes a great Tiger, but I didn’t see anything that would lead me to believe that at this point.

Myles isn’t someone I would have offered a scholarship to. However, he is our best bet this year imho.

I personally see him getting the nod.

Unfortunately, because I see him as being more experienced than talented, I could also see a two QB system, with MB giving way in the red zone.

Just my .02.

No, but he wasn’t blameless.

If you’re putting up nearly 40ppg with no running game and only 3 turnovers it’s not the QBs fault at all. I’m sure we can agree that the Miss St. game was his worst but historically any LSU QB who had a performance like that one has been celebrated yet in this case because some fans have always had it out for Brennan he was blamed for the loss. Having said that if he’s beaten out for the job so be it but the argument that he didn’t perform in the games he started is false.

Good post. For the record, I think Myles will start. I personally think Nuss is ready to kick in gear, and his running skills are more comparable to Burrow’s which I’m more impressed with.

I understand feeling optimistic based on those three games but I take issue with those that are certain he’s a superstar based just on that.

2 of 3 said games resulted in LOSES. Numbers only were put up because they were playing catch up the whole game.

I don’t understand why people think these 3 games were so significant. We have the best Pac12 QB and another kid with a clean slate and a high ceiling waiting yet here we are kissing Brennan’s arse once again. Give it up.

Wouldn’t have offered? He broke MS state records for passing. That’s impressive and crushed the elite 11 comp.

It’s an accomplishment for sure, but his competition was pretty weak.

quote:

He has a good arm and is pretty accurate. It was the reason he had such a great 11, but as an actual QB at a high profile school, those attributes are just a start. His stats against weak competition made him a 4 star imho.

As stated, I would have passed on him at the time. Not because he didn’t have talent though. He was a Les recruit. He was going to be a square peg (pro-style) in a round hole (whatever the abomination of an offense Les ran af the time). Canada came in with O and got him to keep his commitment. He wasn’t mobile enough to run that offense. The Slinger stuff, yes, the Brady stuff...after working with the Joes - yes. That is why he played well in the three games prior to his injury.

Now, with yet another system, who knows.

The good thing is, he can read defenses, he has a good arm, and he has experience.

The question are, has he fully recovered from his injuries, and can he last a whole season?

I believe he has recovered, but he is awfully fragile. Between the 20’s I think he is our best bet. In the red zone...I’m not so sure.

Lastly, if he isn’t the starter this year, then shame on him. On paper, this should be his year. If he is beaten out, then let’s ride with whomever is going the Tigers the W’s.

Just my .02.

Oh really? So Mississippi State wasn’t racking up yards causing us to push the ball downfield to stay in the game?

Mizzou wasn’t gashing us causing us to push the ball down field?

Don’t get me started on the turnovers. That’s the main reason those two trash teams were in these games leading them to win. Myles Brennan was skiddish in the pocket and indecisive. Of course he’s going to rack up passing yards when he has Jamar Chase, Gilbert and Marshall.

If Brennan was so good then why wouldn’t Chase want to play with him? He knew it would hurt his draft stock. If he is so good then why did Etling, Burrow and now Daniels all transfer in knowing Brennan is here? Those guys as well as multiple coaching staffs all knew something. They knew Myles is not the guy. PERIOD.
