re: What’s your QB depth chart?

1. Brennan
2. Nuss





3. Daniels

Exactly. Plus, pocket passers get destroyed in this league. You have to be able to do both to beat Bama. (Examples: Burrow, Watson, Newton, Manziel).

Brennan threw for a ton of yards 2 years ago but wasn’t a game changer and the wins & losses proved that. He’s a fan favorite though bc he bleeds purple and gold. I get it. But he’s not the best QB.

If it’s close between the three, I’m going Nuss. Brennan would have to be considerably better for me to start him. Unless it was a 100% guarantee Nuss wasn’t transferring. Daniels isn’t going anywhere no matter what until after this season and will most likely stick around to compete in the spring next year. And you can keep him happy giving him some snaps in certain situations this year.

The new portal rules may have to change the tradition way you look at qb progression on your roster.

Nuss isn’t playing anywhere else this coming fall. The deadline for immediate SEC eligibility has already passed, and the NCAA deadline is in a week. It’s pretty clear the QB competition is going continue into the fall, so unless he’s demanding BK name a starter today or else he enters the portal (which I don’t see going over very well) he’ll be here at least through next year.

At that point it becomes a question of whether he thinks he’s the starter going into 2023. Personally, I think he will be - at that point he’ll presumably be competing with Daniels and Howard.. unless Brennan receives a medical redshirt for last year and gets a 7th year of eligibility. But I don’t think that’s very likely.

ETA: If Brennan does start, what will really determine who stays/leaves is how the pecking order falls into place during fall camp and early in the season. If there’s a clear #2, that guy is going to feel like he’s in the driver’s seat and there’s a good chance #3 transfers out.

That probably explains the qb situation better than anything I’ve seen on here. Thank you for clarifying.

So if nobody transfers in the next week we’re gold regardless who starts this year.

This is good because you essentially can start the Daniels/ Nuss competition this year. It’s a non contender year, so play all three. Give them experience. Unless you have a guy out there completely balling out. Which is also good. If Brennan starts to get some nfl hype because he’s balling out, let him roll obviously. And that means we’re winning anyway.

It really doesn’t matter who starts this year. It’s pretty much all eyes on development and 2023. If we make a bowl I’m satisfied.

CBK doesnt seem like one to beat around the bush. So listening to his post-game presser, he pretty much laid out the current pecking order

1) Brennan
2) Nuss
3) Daniels
4) Howard

CBK statements on the offense (plus some Denbrock stuff)

"our guys weren't thinking the right way". In the first qtr. Daniels and Nuss were the first 2 QBs out of the box. Nuss, Daniels, Howard had 5 sacks, and two 3-and-outs. Kelly wasnt happy.

1) Brennan - "Brennan was good today, right? He does really good things with the football. He knows the offense. He takes care of it" ... which translates to Myles not being a QB that Denbrock "put a moratorium" on because they couldnt grasp the playbook.

2) Nuss - may not be taking care of the ball. "Hes really talented, athletic ability, arm strength". "Gonna make mistakes. Make sure he takes care of the football. Cant over coach him, he might shut down. the you lose him."

3) Daniels - "Hes really, really fast". That was about it

4) Howard - didnt play any with the #1s. "One of the stronger arms at QB."

CBK also said he wants 1 QB only. "Doesnt want to go into the fall with surprises". His presser sounded like Myles is the guy right now

I have brennan
Nuss
Daniels
Howard

But I will be fine with whoever Kelly puts in there

I've always thought that Brennan is a guy that needs EVERYTHING else around him to go well in order for him to play well. If the OL protects him and the receivers get open he is a very good thrower. But, as we all know, not every play is perfect and the QB is going to have to make things happen in an imperfect situation several times during the game.

Nussmeier and Daniels give you that possibility more than Brennan. The downside for each is Daniels can be very inaccurate and Nussmeier doesn't always show great discretion. Thus, each can be frustrating in their own way.

I believe Kelly when he says they don't have a "favorite" right now. He may be talking up Brennan because he would like him to remain on the team...even if he ultimately isn't the starter. Still, you have to wonder about Brennan's mindset. If he is not likely to be the starter then he probably needs to know that NOW so he can decide what to do for his final season.

Reading defenses and making good decisions during live contact wins the job. My take:

1. Brennan (1st Start)
2. Nuss (Play early)
3. Daniels (Special packages)
