Miles has said that LSU fans will be pleased when Rivers has his chance.

Here's one of those Internet posts:

FWIW. Per people close to both brothers, Steven is more talented at QB position. I cannot wait

What do you know, other than what he was rated in HS, about Stephen Rivers?

Honestly, would like to see him get some time in our early games. Would be nice to have some early throws in case Mett's pocket awareness isn't improved and he gets knocked out of a game.

We know he's probably not mobile and his arm strength could be suspect.

That's about it.

I understand that.

Point is, people say no and have no CLUE how he's been progressing. No clue whatsoever. Just saying no because they just brought two new QB's in this past class.

I know that his talent will be overshadowed by two freshman QBs and that he'll never be a starter.

I think its just as dumb to assume Stephen is the next in line at QB. Not that you did, but I see people do it all the time on here.

Amen.

I was concerned Mett would not make it through last yr. but now I am not. I think Rivers will be ready. Not wishing anything on Mett. Just afraid for his health.

I was wondering if at this point in his college playing days at N.C. State-entering his 3rd year there, if Phillip Rivers had already established himself as the starter?

Even though Stephen is taller, at this point it does not appear he is on target to be the same caliber of QB as Phillip.

It looks like Rettig & Jennings are maybe even Bolden could push him for the back-up role behind Mett for the 2013 season.

He started 51 straight games, broke many ACC records, and led NC State to 4 straight bowl games. I don't think anyone ever expected Stephen to have a better collegiate career than his brother.

well he has got to be more mobile than Mett and maybe he doesn't have a rocket arm, but never heard anything about him having a weak arm. Has about average QB arm strength, like his brother.

I was waiting for someone to finally mention BOLDEN. I wouldn't be at all suprised if he came out of spring ball as the #2 QB. He could be the backup this year and then be a one year starter in '14.

The two true freshmen for '13 could learn the system this year. Fight it out to be Bolden's backup for '14 and then be inline to be a three year starter in '15.

Just like Alabama's NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP QB's. (What's that now, 3 out of the last 4?) QB mobility and strong arm not needed for winning it all.
