I trust Myles much more to step up into the pocket and make the throw down the field than Max.


That's the flaw in your assessment. Passing is only one aspect of many different aspects of being a QB and overall, Max does far many aspects better relative to Myles.

What is wrong with that ?


They think Myles is entitled to be the starter because he waited. In other words, they believe Myles is owed and in which is utterly ridiculous.

I agree with the OP. I will just add if Max has more separation from Myles as a confident pocket passer and scrambler for big plays, Max could become be the starter.

The most important element in all this is Max pushing Myles for two years now, both QB's and the entire team should benefit from this.

Should we dump TDP then as well to? Because 2 of those downs were runs by TDP and he failed to score.


Some of you geniuses are far too narrow-minded for your own good.

The reason why TDP was easily stopped is because Missouri knew Myles wasn't any threat to run. Which is why they were able to focus entirely on stopping TDP.

Which is why Max overall is the far better QB to run LSU's offense. As Max is always a threat to run. As unlike Myles, he can beat teams both through the air and with his legs. Furthermore, that makes everything on LSU's offense work far better relative to when Myles is running the offense.

The reason TDP got stopped was because the OL got their arse kicked by a bunch of second and third string DL.

You need one yard against Missouri and when the RB gets stuffed twice on inside run plays you choose to place the blame on an injured quarterback rather than an offensive line? .

And you think other posters are the dumb ones

Whichever QB scores the most points in the red zone, has the most yardage and fewest turnovers.


It’s hard to say because E was terrible in the red zone as a playcaller.

Out of the two QBs, which one would be able to come close to making the play Burrow made on 3rd and 17?

Myles has the arm strength but does he have the pocket awareness and quick enough feet to make the play??

I don’t think he does.

This is where Max excels past Myles. 
Max had his 3rd & 17 moment.

3rd & 10 vs UF with the game on the line. What did he do? He dumped the ball off in the flat to Kole Taylor for a whopping 3 yard gain.

Will Miles or Max be able to withstand an all out blitz from a bama D and make a play?
Here's the problem because if Myles starts, we'll get blown out the first team we face with a D-Line that we can't handle. And that'll happen before Bama.

Brennan is great facing pressure. His PFF grades are elite there. Not being a good scrambler does not mean he cant move in the pocket well.

We'll be fine.

The reason they got their butts inevitably kicked was because the defense could dedicate the entire defense to stopping TDP. Why? Because Myles represented absolutely no threat to run the ball.

Had Max been in the game instead, the defense couldn't afford to dedicate the entire defense to stopping TDP because unlike Myles, Max can beat teams with his arm and with his legs.

Try again!

That's because I'm not severely mentally handicapped like you.

I'm so glad you asked: Quarterback sneaks, zone reads, option plays, and RPO's. Not to mention, that Max can escape the rush and the blitz to make positive yards and first downs, while Myles can't. Meanwhile, because unlike Myles, Max can beat teams both with his arm and his legs, all running plays with Max in the lineup also run far better. In other words, basically everything that Jake Peetz plans to do.

Now, Myles may have a slightly marginally better arm relative to Max, but that all pails in comparison to every thing else Max provides Peetz. Good luck, but you lose. Again, thanks for asking.

Lol. That’s ALL QB scrambling. And Brady RPOs to running backs almost exclusively. The only designed runs he called were the occasional draw. And are we going to pretend that having elite arm talent doesn’t open up parts of the playbook too?

This isn’t a very good case.

. Brennan is generally considered to have a Howitzer. Max’s arm right now is below 2018 Burrow. He has some work to do.

These arguments never cease to amaze. Someone who doesn’t follow this team would read this board and think Max is Micheal Vick and Brennan is Mettenbetger. Lol.

Doesn’t mean you know shite about the LSU QB situation.

Again you’ve made up your mind that the guy should be Max and just because you are a coach we should all shut up and agree with you.



Are you this miserable in real life?

use his legs to get out of trouble and then make a play down the field? Can miles come close to that?
