As a positive alternative to the "most overrated" discussion, who do you think is the most underrated LSU quarterback ever? By underrated, I mean a guy who, in retrospect, doesn't get as much "buzz" and recognition for his accomplishments at LSU as he deserves (I don't care how heralded or unheralded he was coming in).

My vote is for Rohan Davey. He really helped put LSU football back on the map in the early 2000s, but people don't talk about him that much in discussions of great LSU players.

I'd have to go with Herb...undersized, but got it done. Davey is the LSU qb who I would want under center with the game on the line. His combination of leadership & skills are unmatched IMO.

Herb Tyler. Not a flashy passer, but good enough to get the job done. Also good enough to make defenses respect the pass and not line up 8 or 9 in the box against Faulk/Collins/Meally.

As someone else said, if it weren't for Lou Tepper's terrible defense, the 98 and 99 seasons could have been special.

Josh freakin Booty. All SEC 1st team. Just wish he would have come to LSU out of high school to play baseball and football. I truly believe we would have been in NC contention in 96 had he been the QB. Even though we got killed in the swamp, I think we'd have beaten bama and got the rematch in SEC title game.

i have to go with both Herb Tyler and Rohan Davey. Would have been nice to seen what Butch Duhe would have done had he not died so suddenly.

Who underrates Davey? I'd take him over any lsu QB since Bert Jones was here.

since LSU didn't play football before nick saban arrived i'd have to say YA Tittle, Bert Jones and Tommy Hodson.
