Agree with others, plus why post this before signing day? Wait.

he addition of both Rettig and Jennings is strange enough by itself because they play two totally opposite styles.


This tells you how messed up and clueless the coaches are. They have no clue which direction they want to take.

seems like I heard Bolden was injured. Kragthorpe is also the primary play signaler-inner...

Holy shite, this thread is retarded.

Guess what, mobile QBs can play in pro style systems. Pretty much every pro-style team has mobile QBs on their roster.

7 QBs on the roster next year is just ridiculous
Even more ridiculous is the fact that this coach has not played any but the starter and Rivers (barely) in this entire past season. And will likely follow the same pattern for 2013. So when Mett graduates, we can expect a totally inexperienced, green as grass QB to pick up the pieces of any semblance of an LSU offense for 2014. Brilliant strategy. Now Saban will not know how to prepare.

Yes but that shite doesn't work. Would you have both RG3 and Andrew Luck on the same team.

They tried that shite at NY Jets.....I guess you know how well that worked!!!

NY JETS = LSU there is no diffence between these two teams. Both have the same kinda stubborn HC.

Thank you this was the real point of the post and a question that no one has really given a good answer for.

They are both great QBs. If they somehow were on the same team they would end up sucking?

They were both bad NFL QBs.

Mobile QBs can succeed in a pro-style offense, it's not a difficult concept to understand.

This isn't really that ridiculous. We never played any other QBs because we hardly ever had any big leads. When we did (in the OOC games during the first half of the season) Mett was still learning the system and needed all the snaps he could get.

A good answer?

Mett was the starter who needed all the snaps he could get this year.

Rivers is back up, Bolden is 3rd string, Randall is 4th string, the other 2 are walk ons who will never see the field.

After next season will have Rivers, Randall, and 2 freshmen.

What point are you trying to make in this thread? That we have too many QBs or we don't play enough of our QBs?

When should we have played Rivers more this year? Certainly not the beginning of the season when we were blowing teams out because we were trying to a green QB himself in Mett some reps.

After the Idaho game all the other games weren't blow outs sans Mississippi State which didn't become a blow out until 1 minute left in the game.

So when were supposed to play Rivers so much? In tight SEC games?

yeah. it'd mean I had some pretty sick talent on my roster. 2 QBs who could throw and run.

that may come as a bit of a shock to you, but Luck has some mobility. as in ran some option stuff at Stanford. mobile QB doesn't mean ya gotta be Michael Vick.

Hell yeah Luck is mobile. He's got a hell of a stiff arm too. He stole a lot of TD's from Ballard this season.

The OP is a typical rant post: totally misguided, sky-is-falling analysis spewed from the mouth of a mental midget.

If 2 QBs are walk-ons, they will not play. Simple. Unless, by some strange occurrence, the walk-ons turn out to be the Kurt Warners of college football, they will be tackling dummies for the third string defense, at best.

The 2 incoming freshmen (Jennings and Rettig) can easily redshirt and probably will. Mett and Bolden will be seniors and will be gone after next year leaving, *gasp!* 2 spots to be filled by, you guessed it, Jennings and Rettig. After next year, then, we have Rivers as the probable starter followed by Randall, Jennings, and Rettig in some order. The 2 walk-ons may either be gone by then or again only make the practice squad.

As for why Rivers hasn't seen much PT: Mett, at the beginning of the year, was as big a mess as a starting quarterback could be. So were his wideouts. In the few games we led enough to pull Mett, we kept him in to get gametime snaps, knowing full well he needed them. Rivers may get more PT this year if he once again beats Bolden and Randall out, since we have to hope that one more off season working out with the wideouts will get Mett into rhythm with the receiving corps. Hopefully that and an offseason of our o-line continuing to gel will put our offense over the hump and we may actually blow some teams out enough to put Rivers in.

I'm sure my reasonable analysis will be overlooked.

tl;dr

In Luck's big year 2011 he had 453 rushing yards and 3 TDs. his first year in the NFL he had 255yds and 5 TDs so what is your point.
