I am feeling more and more like it will be Burrow + Narcisse.

Very similar to Leak + Tebow for UF in their 2006 Natty.

I am in no way dissing McMillan nor Brennan, I am just expressing what i see evolving. Fans of these two, which include me, may see it otherwise, and that's your option.

I just see Burrow evolving as best to start and lead and get most of the snaps, with Lowell Narcisse as a great wildcat and short yardage compliment to Burrow.

Fire away!

I agree Narcisse can be like another RB.. Come in during Short yardage situations.

Ok but just don’t see the need bc Burrow has similar running ability.

If Narcisse can improve his passing to the point that he is a threat, I could see using him on third down and gold line situations to save wear and tare on the starter.
He may be a better runner than Burrow as well.

If ,Narcisse can be trusted to make good decisions in crucial situations and is an adequate short yardage passer, then the advantage to me would be Narcisse getting quality experience and limiting hits taken by your starter as a running QB. This only works if Narcisse is still a threat to throw the ball and can make good decisions.

Brennan might be a bit handicapped from his inability to run the option, but just from the limited amount of videos shown, he's got some Mett like ability when it comes to passing. He's looking a lot more polished from the spring game

Can you imagine Burrow at Qb and Narcisse at tailback!?!?

As much as I like the concept of addressing the QB spot like other skill positions and using substitution to take advantage of the different skill sets, I've rarely (if ever) seen it truly work.

There are so many other factors at play such as timing, cadence, feel, practice reps needed
Etc.

Hopefully either burrow or McMillian will separate himself before the Miami game. If not then maybe you do game plan for both to play.

After that, pick a starter and go. Let the other guy play a Mickey Guidry role with a predetermined "series" each half for game experience and a chance to give the starter some reflection.

I don't think it's good for Narcisse to have full blown Tebow role. Maybe a gadget or short yardage play here or there.

I really, really hope that Brennan will take a redshirt year. Understand that instant gratification is so prevalent now, but he and Narcisse could battle for the starting position (or at worst backup) next spring with 2-3 years as the starter.

Making good decisions is the main issue at quarterback. Good decisions can overcome skill sets, but no amount of arm strength or speed or size, can overcome bad decisions.

Love Myles. But he and Burrow are different guys. Burrow seems a better fit for Coach E's approach. If this was 2012/13, then yes. But it's not.

Brennan seems the least good fit to the 2018 approach.

"Still a Threat?" He's never been a threat to throw it accurately and most likely never will be. (Brandon Harris Clone)

Let him take some snaps as an actual running back. We need more depth and bodies there. He might be a surprise.....

There are no packages to appease anyone.

We are thin at TE. Move home there like JJ should have.
