I've watched Lowell play a couple times as well and came away feeling the same. A ton of athleticism, but a lot of work needed on passing.

Well this does beg the question of who was LSU's last truly successful dual threat QB? Herb Tyler?

Because he has a motor that won't quit and he brings his lunch pail to work.

Just my two cents, Brennan's resume (accomplishments) as a passer make him ideal for our OFF. From what I have read (game stats/camps) he has a strong arm and makes good reads/throws. We need a passer 1st to run this OFF and make us most effective.

Are you living in the 30s or something? There are plenty videos of him throwing the football.

Even if you're worried about his throwing ability, worrying about a 2017 recruit when the chances of Miles and company actually coaching the kid through his career are slime to none seems a bit ridiculous.

Someone like Narcisse is precisely what Herman has flourished with at the QB position.

How about this ?

Hell any position on this team outside OL is the same bs.
If there's a white kid playing there than certainly there's a black kid on the roster that should be instead.

I don't really give a crap who's starting as long as he's the best player. But this shite you assholes pull about rant wanting white guys to play bc they are white is fricking garbage.
Look no further than lacatuor, Quinn and Jeter.

I just get sick of the double standard and the audacity some of you have to try to turn it around, when it's you that is being racially biased.

no idea why you are getting so rustled about stating the obvious

there are a million post a day on this board yelling for a "pro style QB" and how they fit the offense better

Yeah I didn't want to go here but you're 100% correct. It isn't a racism thing though, it is simply an ignorance thing. To the majority of fans, a black QB = dual threat. This place things Jennings and Jefferson were dual-threat QBs too. They'd love to have the pocket passer Chad Kelly though.

I half expect L Scott to beat them out thanks to an extra year under his belt. Then it will be time for Zadock.

I think that Narcisse is the better prospect. He's bigger, stronger, and more mobile. Is it just due to his injuries, and the poor history with dual-threat QBs at LSU?

Nah that's not it. Many people here want white QBs because they're "gamers and have a high football IQ." All of the stereotypes about white football players are considered enviable traits for a QB. People see Etling succeeding and Harris failing, and instead of going to the painfully obvious reason - Harris is simply too inaccurate on short/medium throws - they explain it by Etling being a smarter player. There is absolutely no way to know that kind of thing, except when one QB is white and the other is black.

You can stick your head in the sand all you want, but every watch party or atmosphere that I encounter when watching an LSU game has people making the same kind of racially laced comments.

How about the fact that the kid has thrown 200 freakn passes without an int
In Hs!! He's accurate , athletic and has a strong arm. This isn't a yearly prospect. This kid is special. With the luck we've had at coaching up DT's and putting em under center I'm all n for Myles. He's just a better fit. If Herman was here maybe it would be different. But probably not because that's how good Myles.

Lee did this very thing in this exact thread

He assumed Brennan had a higher football IQ and Narcisse was just an athlete.

You think Lee has seen either play?

I'm not rustled at all.
I've just been around this place long enough to see how it goes when this topic comes up.

If you don't agree with me that's fine... I'm not trying to convert you.

No doubt

I'm definitely excited about Brennan and think he can be special

But I'm also not going to write off Narcisse. I love that both of them are coming (hopefully). Competitions is good. Let them fight for the starter job.

Please stop harping on this. It shows you're just tying to force your strawman argument. Jennings was absolutely dual threat.
Jennings Rivals profile

The fact that our retarded staff tried to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear doesn't change that.
