Can we now admit there should be an open QB battle under the new regime?

I and others(slackster) were hammered for even suggesting such a thought a few weeks ago.

Here are the numbers

Brandon Harris at LSU: 0 games started without Miles

54% 7.8 y/a 20tds 10ints 134 Rating

Danny Etling at LSU 3 games started without Miles

59% 7.1 y/a 7tds 4ints 127 Rating

There needs to be an open battle at every OLine position

Don't care who the qb is until that is fixed

I no doubt feel bebe is gonna open it up. Hell, he may even open it up this week given that performance. If Etling starts out slow against Arky....prepare to see BH.

As long as they offensive line continues to get thrown around like rag dolls, it won't really matter IMO. 6 one way, half dozen the other.

Sure. battle every spring. But Etling is much better than Harris. Rewatch the first 2 games.

If we hire a QB developer and offensive mind, I would expect Harris to turn it around. The question is does he stick around for it?

Coach O said during post game that danny etling is no doubt our guy moving forward. He's too nervous to try anything different like a qb change. Could be too late in the season. I just want to see the better arm for a few plays

There absolutely should be an open QB battle.

Hopefully Coach Herman will let Etling, Harris (if still @ LSU), Scott, Brennan and Narcisse go at it and may the best man win.

At this point in the season, EVERY position should be re-evaluated.

What the hell do you have to lose, a lousy bowl game?

This coaching staff or the next needs to see exactly who they have.

Couldn't agree with you more that next year it should be a TRUE wide-open competition for QB.

Etling has proved to be an adequate QB but I truly don't think he is the QB to beat Bama and I thought that prior to Saturday. But he is one tough SOB, because he got pounded Saturday.

The reality is until our 0-line becomes more physical whoever you have behind center is going to have a difficult time unless he is really fast.

No.

Etling is much better than Harris. It isn't even close. We have three games remaining that we can win.

etling has already reached his max potential

i'd like to see BH under a different regime, to be honest...dunno, it just feels like any qb at LSU the last few years has been hamstrung in his development with these guys trying to coach them up. basically, cam sucks

You still don't know what the hell you are talking about. Keep your day job... you're no coach.

ABSOLUTELY! But Coach O seems to want to stick with Etling!
