Screw the statistical comparisons....a lot is because of the intangibles


I agree.

In Etling's first game, he audibled at the goal line for a TD. Before that, I'd forgotten what an audible looked like at LSU.

It was nice to see Etling drop a shoulder against an outside rush and step up into the pocket. Jennings/Harris would roll-out into the DE pressure and while racing to the sideline heave an awkward/desperate pass.

Etling made TE's, intermediate routes, and RB dump offs legit chain-moving options again for LSU. Jennings/Harris looked for PA bombs with only the X or the Y WRs.

Etling has his weaknesses and faults, but he is still an upgrade.
