Rivers will be number two. Period


Wait a second. I thought Rivers had no accuracy and was even terrible in practices? According to some posters on this board, Rivers had no chance of ever stepping foot on the field at LSU

You know, considering the extensive amount of time posters have seen him play and the massive amount of times these posters have seen him in practice


Something is wrong here!

Had a guy sitting behind me talking on his phone telling someone "No way Mettenberger will be the starter, they have to go with the Freshman." Then, "Rivers? I'm not sure if he's even still here," as Rivers is making a nice play, scrambling and hitting OBJ for a long gain.
First thing me and my brother wonder is who this guy is on the Rant, lol..

Agree! Rivers look pretty solid to me. Not that he was perfect but he came out playing like a champ. Made some really nice plays.

That said, the talk of AJ might have been a little premature... maybe but although his numbers didn't really show it a lot of that was not on him. He threw away a lot of passes because nobody was open and although it looks bad on paper that is actually something a lot of QB's never seem to learn how to do.

I feel real good about all three of them after what was shown.

Here is something we haven't seen and was shown by all three of them. Throwing perfect strikes to deep WR when they were covered and NONE of those throws were intercepted due to perfect placement.

Sometimes the situation just call for you to trust your wr's and an int is as good as a punt.

Numerous times and I don't mean just two or three I would turn to my wife and we would say that was a beautiful pass even though on paper it is an incompletion.
