Etling has at least as much talent as Coker did at bama.

I like Etling a lot, but he doesn't have the arm strength of Coker. Etling has trouble throwing a deep ball, and a lot of them hang and float WAY too much. There were a couple of balls against Auburn I was scared were going to be picked, but the defenders never turned their head. I think Etling has great accuracy, just not the pure arm talent.

No, he doesn't. He's not as strong running nor does he have the arm strength. Also, Coker was older. That can make a huge difference.

no, just no

Coker had a much stronger arm than Etling

If Etling was black we would hate him and his production, that's just the way it is, downvotes away

Coker was better in almost every category physically than Etling.

Coker was beat out by Winston. Etling was best out by a Purdue QB and Harris

I must add, I am hoping for the best. He looks to have good pocket awareness, I hope the coaching staff continues to build on it. If he loses to Missouri,,,,,,

this is true

Etling has been objectively quite poor unfortunately. After last game, there are legitimate doubts that he can even be a good game manager.

Before you flame me consider this:

1.) Objectively awful production (some drops but just as many off-target passes)

2.) Completely unforced turnover at a very critical time in a road game.

The sample size is small but let's not act like it is objectively positive. The guy can still get better though...
