The media needs to stop with this whole "doubt a team b/c of an unproven QB" BS. Take the last 3 National Champions.

Bama in '09 - McElroy
Auburn 2010 - Newton
Bama in '11 - McCarron

All 3 were 1st year starting quarterbacks in the SEC. So, it's a stupid argument to be made.

Really, 4 out of the last 5 with Flynn in 2007.

If you look at Bama as a model for LSU, I think it bodes well for LSU. You don't force the QB to carry your team. You keep realistic expectations about your QB, and allow him to manage the game.

I just never liked how the LSU coaching staff the past four years seemed to game plan around the QBs and not for them.

Obviously the team did OK last year, but it really hurt them when they needed a QB to step up.
