Etling reminded us of the difference a serviceable Pro style QB can make

Metteberger, a classic pro style QB led one of our most prolific offenses. A kid like Myles Brennan gives us a Mett with mobility. Why a total about face from what we only began to scratch the surface on in terms of success. Minor tweaks and a decent pro style QB produced records this season. Why not build on what was started post Miles/Cam?

Because when's the last time we beat Bama?
What type of teams have beaten them or actually point up points on their D?
Tell me, how many teams put up a goose egg against Bama at home this season??
I just want what is succesful in today's college football.

Watch it there. Etling isn't in Mett's league.

The obsession with this fan base of pro style vs dual threat is pathetic.
What LSU needs is a GOOD QB. That's it.

Etling proved to be a game manager.College football is changing it's time for an upgrade on the offensive side of the ball,starting with the QB position.

So now we are settling for Etling and the likes?!

This.
Alabamas strength on defense is and always has been stopping the run.
We need a guy that isn't a statue that is smart and can throw the ball.
Not one that RATHER run it than throw it.

If Etling was a rFR and played like he did last yr then I would have a lot of hope however remember he started what 8 games prior to this at Purdue? I believe what you see is what you get in him. There really is no upside. Yes, he was the best option for us last year (but is that saying much?) I think it would be a disservice to not look other options including JUCO transfers for next years starting QB. If Etling wins the job again then fair enough but we have to do our due diligence.

A juco? 
I swear some of you people are mentally fricking retarded.

Why not consider a JUCO or Transfer QB?
Josh Heupel, Cam Newton, Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers, Joe Flacco, just to name a few....
Also you would honestly turn away Stidham if he had interest?

A recall a few Bamas games where the defense lost the game, not the QB....and he was a pocket passer....

If DE was graduating then sure.
I just don't understand the disdain many of you here have for the guy.
I mean did y'all watch any of the games besides Alabama this year?

Arkansas put up 30. Ole Miss put up 43. Highest two this season.
Both pocket passer QBs

But he isnt very good, and with him playing our chances to win the title are not very good.

I have no disdain for him and think he is a serviceable QB. I dk if he is the right QB for the spread that CEO is wanting to implement.
I like that he had a 60% pass comp that is a welcome sight to have someone over 59% mark. Here is Etlings stats. Lets remember he is -2 games.

Etling doesn't remind me of Mett at all aside from them both being white. I would say someone more like Flynn, but with slightly less arm talent and overall size.
Etling's arm strength is kind of concerning. He seems to love floating his throws that are over 10 yards.
Although, I suppose you could argue that he throws a more catchable ball than Harris like when he throws a screen pass 150 mph
