That moment came against Auburn in 2018. He started off great in the first half and toward the end of the second quarter through the beginning of the fourth he couldn't complete a pass. I think at one point he had like 12 or 13 straight incompletions in a row. He keep his head up and kept playing. Long touchdown by Dillon then a 4th down conversion led us to a victory. What I am trying to say is it does take time for a player to get comfortable. Give Brennan time he will come around.

I have to say I was Always a Burrow guy but felt he was in a trash offense.

His stats against Miami were bad but so was our playcalling and protection. He threw the ball away when he needed to and he was poised.

I think Brennan’s issue is confidence. I think he sees and knows what to do but he’s waits too long to pull the trigger into tighter coverage.

Well, I love your positive outlook, but Burrow never looked like a deer in the headlights. He made mistakes, but never looked like he was scared of anyone.

MB needs to toughen up fast or the team is fricked.

Burrow in 2018 was under E's shitty offense. If Brady had been here in 2018, Burrow would've lit it up in '18 as well.

Even though everything you said is true and is also part of the game, real time game experience, this is the rant. And all the idiots on here that know nothing about the game but stat lines and bullshite will still call for the kids head. And after just 1 game at that. It’s freaking ignorant. Brennan will be just fine.

I was sold on Burrow the moment I saw his Ohio St Spring games.. then I was reaffirmed in my beliefs when I saw him take control day one against a very good Miami defense.

I was sold against Miami.

- Tried to fight pre-game
- Took some mean hits and stood up like a champ
- Hard counted them for a first down or two
- Threw a couple dimes
- Audibled for the long Brossette TD run where he wasn't touched

He just looked so in command and control. He looked confident, showed arm strength, showed toughness, and poise.

I remember looking at my dad and brother and saying "I think we've got ourselves a QB".

what evidence can you point to that say Brennan "will be just fine?"

Just because you want it happen doesn't mean it will happen. Sometimes what you see is what it really is.

Burrow had bad stats for a while but the confidence and leadership was evident from game one. It’s possible and I’d say likely that Myles will grow more confident and more into the leadership expected of your QB, but that was the most obvious difference between last year’s QB play and what we saw Saturday. People are understandably very concerned when a guy who has been here 4 years looks like the game is still moving too fast. That being said we don’t have any reason yet to say it won’t get better.

Will Brennan improve I think so. But he will never be close to Burrow. He simply does not hv that kinda talent imo. I wish him well and hope I am wrong, becuz I love LSU football with a passion but currently I am sick to my stomach about what transpired on Saturday. That was one of the most embarrassing moments in Tiger football that I have every witnessed. IMO

Not even the pick 6 vs Florida? It cost us the lead and ended in a loss.
Burrow made plenty of mistakes in 18, and a few in 19.

It was his first game jackass. And when you find me a quarterback in recent years besides burrow that would have hit on those deeps balls please tell me. His deep ball is freaking beautiful for one, and Secondly he has arm talent. Give him time to get comfortable. All of you idiots expect freakin unicorns and rainbows. He will absolutely improve each and every game.

This is where you lost me and why I don't have faith in Brennan. Kid could be seen multiple times head slumped facing the ground...looking defeated. He does not seem to have the fortitude or confidence to be the guy at this level.

Arm talent all I saw mostly were ducks that barely got the ball down the field. What game were you watching Mr Potato Head! Lol

It’s like some of y’all weren’t watching last week. Burrow 2018 was light years ahead of Brennan after 4 weeks in the offense.

ok, how much time? I'm fine with Brennan starting at Vandy and, if we win, against Missouri. But then 3 of our next 4 are Auburn Florida, Bama. If he's not getting it done after Mizzou, we need to make a change.

again, evidence please. This is just your emotions talking. Can he improve? Sure. Will he improve? That's not certain. He had plenty of time to mentally prepare for Miss State and he looked tentative and lost out there. Those aren't easy things to quickly change, and certainly not against the meat of our schedule. Remember, this was Miss State. At home. Brennan should've kicked arse from the start, but he looked hesitant right from the beginning.

Burrow and Brennan are completely different in their mental toughness and makeup. Perhaps Brennan will improve in his decision making and maybe the game slows down for him. We have to hope so because O and Ensminger have no real alternative.
Burrow held the onto the ball too long in those earlier ‘18 games because his receivers weren’t open. Brennan held onto too long because he was tentative his decision making was slow.

Are you talking about when his elbow got hit on that one pass?? Which would have clearly been another touchdown for him btw. I’m guessing you missed the two deep touchdown passes. I’m wondering what game you were watching.

Oline must get better in pp and the backs as well. Not sure of this offense. No identity.
