Well the media isn't reasonable in Laffy then.



Most of the guys I listen too have been cautious about their predictions for the exact reasons I've stated. They are positive in their presentations, though, but that is to be expected, IMO.

The guys whose opinions I respect are all saying that they will have to adjust their predictions once they see the Cajuns in real game situations.

But man, the dillusion surrounding him is unreal. It's not like he was a gunslinger at LSU; his numbers were pedestrian at best.


Again, I haven't seen the delusional thinking regarding Jennings. Only that he is an upgrade from the QB situation of last year.

quote:

I don't understand the hoopla over Jennings. Dave Schultz keeps talking about this guy like he's the greatest thing since sliced bread.


I'm a KPEL guy, so I am unfamiliar with Dave Schultz.

If he were an SEC QB, he'd be playing in the SEC.


In all fairness, he did start for a top SEC school. He was also recruited by other SEC schools as well as other top schools (he had offers from Miss St. and UK in the SEC as well as teams like Nebraska and Oregon). So I guess he should amend his statements to say a former SEC quarterback?

Dave is on 103.7. Morning show, 6-9.

And yes, Former would be fitting. Let's not kid ourselves here. Jennings started only because he was the only QB that had been in the system for longer than a spring and a fall. And after the way the 2013 season ended, there was no way Miles was benching the hero. Not to mention Jennings got benched for and eventually replaced by Brandon Harris.

"SEC Quarterbacks" don't transfer to the Sun Belt for the hell of it. He transferred because there was no way he was going to play at an SEC school.

Contrary to what Dave Schultz thinks, McNeese has and has had its fair share of major FBS conference transfers as well. I'm not bashing Jennings for not cutting it at LSU. I'm bashing idiot sports radio DJs who want to continually call a guy what he is not.
