I don't think Max Johnson is 10-win type of a QB. Case & point, TAMU.
He played on a team loaded with 5-star talent & never did anything with them, plus he lost his job to a Connor Weigman. Obviously, it wasn't all his fault, because he was playing in Jumbo Fisher's old antiquated Offense, so I don't put that on him.
But the question would be, if we had brought in Max, is he talented enough to elevate what we already have? If the answer is no (which it is) what exactly would he be bringing to the table? A game manager that isn't good enough to put a team on his back & win you more games than your previous starter.
So in that case, all he would really be is a backup insurance policy for Emory like he was for Connor Weigman.
