Of course, none of us are in practices, and who knows how well Myles has healed, but if you look at the data, Max was actually a pretty big downgrade from Myles.
A whole spring makes a difference though. We've got an intelligent staff and O is smarter than he sounds. They'll have both guys ready.
I promise I'm not pushing that!
But at the end, he says something about "based on a feel".
Brennan had better numbers, throws a better ball with more zip, etc. But he was 1-2, with the one win against Vandy. Johnson was still productive, and was 2-0 against arguably much better competition in Florida and Ole Miss.
That may be the "feel"; Brennan's got the arm and puts better numbers up, but Johnson's got some intangible Brennan lacks.
I'm NOT saying that's the case; but if it is, it wouldn't be the first time the "best" QB isn't the guy who puts up the best numbers, or throws the prettiest pass.
FWIW, Brennan has a better arm than Burrow too, though Burrow was good enough.

I don't know about intangibles, but the team was definitely playing better by the end of the year. Boutte came on in a big way and Johnson forced a lot to him(don't get too excited, aggy).
Myles was a better choice last year. Had he stayed healthy, we may have won the A&M game.
But Myles was injured horribly and they've had a whole spring. Max may be the better option now.

Likely had more to do with the defense giving up 44 and 45 to Mississippi State and Mizzou vs 34 to Florida.
They did give up 48 to Ole Miss and would've gotten shellacked in that game if not for Corral throwing 17 interceptions.

Burrow was just good enough and lucky because Brennan, according to you, has a better arm than Burrow.
There is something awfully wrong with the way you perceive the world. As Burrow's arm is astronomically far better relative to Brennan's arm. Why? Because it is far, far more accurate relative Brennan's arm and because Burrow could also throw with touch. Plus Burrow was also astronomically far better at processing information fast relative to Myles at the same time. In fact, Joe Burrow's arm and processing ability was so great, that he is now considered to be the greatest college football QB to have ever played the sport in history. Give me a freaking break.
