Alot of movement here at LSU in the last 10 years when it comes to quarterbacks. I think overall Joe Burrows will start at quarterback for the Tigers. Narcisse and McMillan are the two latest quarterbacks to transfer out of LSU, but the deal was pretty clear you can’t start 4 quarterbacks during a college football season, maybe in the NFL because there’s lots of injuries.
The biggest problem for LSU is the quarterback development which is the most important position on the football field. You can have all the db’s and linebackers you want, and have a great defensive line, a solid O line, running backs and talented tall receivers, but if you dont have anyone to distribute the football then that’s a done deal. Basically it would be like taking Magic Johnson away from the Los Angeles Lakers during the 80’s. The quarterback is the one who runs the offense, thats a key position to win football games. You can always have a great defense for stopping other teams, but they dont score points like a offense does, plain and simple.
I do think its the culture with LSU Football they just dont develop quarterbacks and that needs to change. I think Joe Burrows will be a big asset. If LSU gets ahead in some games by 30 points, then they can put Brennan in to mop up the games. Also its gonna be a tough schedule for LSU, they might need two quarterbacks to play during the season. No one is injury prone when you step on the football field especially in the SEC with the toughest defenses in College Football. So should Myles Brennan see some playing time, there is a good chance for that to happen. If Joe Burrows has a Heisman Trophy year that might be it for the Ohio native. That remains to be seen. It might be a tough year for LSU, perhaps 8-4 or 7-5, according to Vegas Odds. It remains to be seen how LSU’s season will play out especially with Georgia and no.1 Alabama coming to Baton Rouge.
