The number of posters who believe TJ started because he is black is extremely disappointing. You all need to grow up. TJ started for a few reasons.

1. Max missed a couple of weeks of practice due to covid quarantining

2. O and E prefer old school pocket passers like Brennan and TJ over more mobile QBs. We recruit mostly pro style pocket passers. This just happened to be a situation that broke stereotypes where the black QB was the immobile and the white QB was athletic. Don't bring up Burrow. He fell into our laps and our staff limited his running as much as they could.

3. Because Brennan and TJ are both immobile pocket passers it was an easier transition for the offensive staff mid season

Yeah it’s not like TJ was a disaster out there. Max is better but for a freshman TJ wasn’t bad.

The offense under TJ was better at passing than most pre2019 LSU offenses

I dunno. Maybe since this season was such a downer they thought this was a good time to test these young QB's in battle? Now we know.

Will definitely be interesting to see the competition for starting QB next season.

LSU.....is comin back!!

This statement right here is the rant in a nutshell. No matter what the coaching staff will never get any credit but will always be blamed. This place is overrun with retards.

I didn’t say the coaching staff had nothing to do with it. Just pointing out the obvious when we start talking about their ability to develop a QB. Their track record isn’t very good. Also, if you think Max learned that pocket presence in just under 6 months, then bank it, he’s the next Peyton Manning. The reality is that the kid has had elite level instruction from someone who’s played the position at an elite level.
