Kyle Murray and Bryce Young teach us Mechanics is more important than anything. Kiffin has to be effectively teaching throwing mechanics to his QB’s for him to have as much success he has had with QB’s.

In 4 games MVB passed for 1,010 yards 8 TD's 2 INT's, project his totals to 12 games, that would be 3 030 yards 32 TD's to 6 INT's. I don't know about y'all, but those are some real descent numbers. I think with the QB Wisperer, Lane could do wonders with him, I say keep MVB and let him battle it out with the portal added QB's.

Idk if these ## are right. Did he really throw for 250 yds a game with these play callers?? If that's right he was far more productive than it thought.

Hopefully there were talks of changing positions….

Van Buren showed pretty good for someone born in 1782. (In my humble opinion)

Apparently he was told he was not the #1 QB going into next season. Otherwise there would be no “sitting on it”.

He made some great plays with his feet Saturday and had some really elite throws, but then there was some throws where he missed a wide open receiver in the flat by 5 yards underthrown.

I remember when this board wrote off Daniels for his throwing. Seems like most of you all have the memory of a goldfish.

MVB may not be Daniels. But he would be much more dangerous in Kiffin’s scheme.

If he wants to stay and battle whoever we bring in (and we HAVE TO bring someone else in), good for him. Just can’t commit much in the way of NIL to
Him.

People, he is not the championship qb we need. It’s obvious

barely acceptable backup

mcspufftiger7•2 months

He threw for 267 yds, 3 TD and zero interceptions with no running game and a subpar Oline against a good defense and you think he's barely acceptable as a backup. Thank God you don't coach.

I would like to see him stay, get coached up, and participate in an open competition for starter with one of the Portal guys much more than potentially line up against him at his 3rd SEC school.

But this is one of those instances that I'll be good with whatever Coach goes with.

DV me to hell, but ima tell yall now, if he stays and develops under LK for 2 more years, he could be the next Jayden. Bookmark this.

offshoretrash•2 months

He has a lot of work to do to be a starter at a big program. Several of those sacks were on him not reading the defense and making sure he had protection. His arm strength is average at best.

Old Money•2 months

He needs coaching. Clearly he lacked that here.

porge7106•2 months

I believe our entire line is in the portal now. GOOD!!! They are horrible.

rileytiger•2 months

He has actually improved since his first start this season. Both in throwing and running outside the pocket.

YMCA•2 months

Who knows what he can do with an OL and run game, but at the same time, even if he isn’t a starter, it makes your play for a stud portal QB a little easier bc you’d have a backup and might be able to pay more for the portal guy.

JackieSonnier•2 months

Someone explain to me where do all these offensive line guys think they are going to? They are hot dog S$&@ and are trying to get a payday ?

TigerDM•2 months

If LK can do what he did with Chambliss, there is always
a possibility of him developing. Ultimately it comes down to
MVB’s ability to read a defense as to how good he can be.
