I’ve said this before in threads of this nature, but I’ll say it again. Myles committed and signed with LSU knowing that he would have to compete every single day if he wanted to play. He was perfectly fine with redshirting his FR year, but Canada had other ideas there. He’s not leaving LSU until he at least graduates, and there’s about a 1% chance it happens even then. He will start for two years and will be a very good QB for us. Myles loves LSU more than most people on TD.

Why in the heck would he transfer? He's got a fabulous system, WRU and he's awesome.

I don't see him starting next year. I think we go the transfer route next year, while letting Brennan, Parrish, and the freshmen keep working. He still won't transfer.

Brennan will have the first call for his senior year, with the underclassmen competing with him for the job and in quick relief.

I really hope Brennan is the guy for 2 years but I don't see it just yet. Probably an unpopular opinion, but it is what is.
Brennan could very well start next year. Still no reason we should not try to get a transfer. One QB on the roster with experience is not something I'm interested in doing. We should bring someone else in to compete for the starting job. If Brennan wins the job, at least we have someone else on the roster with game experience.

Brennan AND Parrish are going to excel in this offense. Next year, Brennan will challenge (probably not break) some of Burrow's records.

You guys crack me up - we finally get the offense we should have switched to in 2012 or 2013 and you think we're going to run off quarterbacks who are clearly team players and poised to take over next year.

you're getting downvoted, but you're not wrong. I'm not seeing it with Brennan either, and I've said that for awhile now. People are in love with his big arm and that's he's been in the system a few years, but that's not all it takes to be an SEC QB.

he had a chance to be the starter in 2018 - his only competition was McMillian and Narcisse, neither of whom are SEC QBs.

Brennan still couldn't win the job, and forced O to desperately run out seeking a transfer. Which worked out very well.

Brennan is going to be a good QB.

He was also a sophomore playing in a system that wasn't very QB friendly.

Look how Burrow looked in it last year vs this year.

Excuse No. 1. But this fails - very young QBs start all over the country.

Excuse No. 2. I didn't like our offense last year either, but Burrow had far less time in it than Brennan did (Brennan had the 2017 season and 2018 spring, Burrow didn't).

And Burrow's 2018 stats weren't bad:
58%
2894 yards
16/5 TD/INT

Burrow was and is much better than BRennan. Thats not up for deabate. But hes better than a lot of QBs right now isn't he.

thats not bad for LSU, but if you don't think Burrow is much better than that you haven't been watching.

My point is this, jsut because BRennand wasn't ready to start doesn't mean he wont be ready to start. And last years offense was terrible and was holding all our QBs back.

If you can't admit that you're not worth having a conversation with.

although when you say stuff like this:

come one man. The 2017 offense isn't the same thing.

If one of those other guys won the job, why did he leave?

O is a recruiter, first and foremost. He saw a chance to better the roster. It blows my mind that some people think that because 19-year-old Myles Brennan couldn't beat 21-year-old Joe Burrow for the job that Myles must suck.

Here's a thought: maybe they're both good, but Joe's just better.

BTW - when Myles comes into game in blowouts, his job is different from Joe's. I hope you guys realize that.

youre completely missing the point. It’s not that Brennan couldn’t beat out Burrow. It’s that O knew Brennan wasn’t ready, when he had virtually no competition, and had to run out to get a transfer.

And please stop with the age excuse. Sure, guys can improve, but great players usually show it quickly. Not always, of course, but usually. And I just don’t see in Brennan what the rest of you see. I’m looking for it, but just don’t see it.

I mean, it's really none of our decisions. Even if O gets a transfer in the off season, it won't necessarily mean he thinks Brennan's not ready. Coaches go out and get transfers all the time and those transfers sit the bench because they got beat out by a guy already on the roster. Everyone just needs to relax and trust the process.

Burrow couldn't beat out Haskins. Does that mean he sucks?

Some players aren't ready physically as freshman.

I'm not ready to crown Brennan either, but the coaches must like what they see or he'd have transferred by now. Players improve, sometimes slowly, sometimes seemingly overnight.
Brennan should and will get his shot next spring.
