Barring the rant kidnapping Etling, there is no way he is no under center against BYU.
What I would love to see though is someone like McMillan utilized in different packages that maybe Etling is not good at.
Why even start this? I don't want to see 2 QB's. If he can't put together a full arsenal as QB, then he shouldn't be out there if someone else is more complete.
And as far as him being the starting just because he's a senior doesn't mean his leadership skills are any different that any of the others we have right now. Sure it was an issue with others in the past, but this group seems to have it together.
Leadership comes in many forms. Jamal Adams became the leader of the defense as a freshman just like many other Tigers. Being a senior doesn't automatically make you the "best leader" on the team.

Had a great spring and lived up to the hype. Just saying. Sometimes you get it wrong. Sometimes you get it right.

They're all getting a fair shot. You don't think the coaches want to find the best qb on the roster to start the season? Gtfo here wth that "oh give him a shot" " he deserves a chance" HE IS GETTING A CHANCE. If he's the best qb on the team, he'll start...

Depends on what you consider fair? More than one player has told me that DE is taking 2/3 of the snaps. If so, that is not really a "competition".

Well I'd take my chances at this point with the man we know can deliver strikes while getting smoked by a defensive end or under duress.
Until we see this thing play out more we role Etling

The kid won a lot of games in HS, and has the messurables. I'm not saying Etling is that much better. Etling is clearly the leader of the team.

Just like the players, the new coaches haven't prepared a game in 2017 yet. I'll trust them when the team lines up and comes away with victories against good teams.

That's actually pretty reasonable considering we're installing a new offense. Someone has to be fully prepared entering the fall. One of the younger guns is really going to have to do something eye opening to move ahead of him. I don't see that happening. Narcisse or Brennan may be the future but they aren't starting anytime soon. McMillan and Scott have comparable backgrounds in terms of HS achievements and McMillan has an extra season behind him.
I think the competition is who is first off the bench if Danny gets hurt.
Etling may not have a cannon but he has smarts and an arm that I would say is as good as Matt Flynn or Matt Mauck.

That's my issue with people guaranteeing that DE starts hands down and he's on the level with some of the best. None of us really know. I just rebut those types of claims with facts.
If we're going with DE because he's smart, give me LS. LS is an Ivy League mind with very good athleticism to match.
If we're starting DE because his arm strength is "serviceable" and comparing DE's arm to the Matt's, give me any of the other 3.

That's laughable. You want anyone who isn't Etling even though none have played a meaningful snap in college.

No different than you wanting DE last year. So what if he had "meaningful" snaps or not prior to last year. You just wanted to see a new guy. Well that new guy came in and had a pretty underwhelming performance compared to most D1 QB's.
He doesn't scare anyone and is just inconsistent in the passing game as the guy he replaced. You can go back last year and find maybe 2 - 3 good passing days for him and 2 of then were because the RB's went insane and he piggybacked on their performance. When he was needed to go insane, he did not.
I would rather have someone who doesn't panic and make bad decisions if the play doesn't go the way he planned. I give him credit for the shovel pass to Jeter last year to keep one play alive, most of the time he tried to improvise he failed, caused a turnover, or nearly got wrecked.
If that's the best he can do, someone else should start if they are on the same level of understanding the offense.

Is it not out of the realm of possibility to accept that maybe DE is the best QB we have on the roster and the one best suited to run a brand new offense smoothly?
