You have a link that will substantiate the fact that Scott’s own high school football coach tried to diminish his opportunity to play college football in Division I in an interview of all things, so everyone could watch him do it on YouTube everyday? If it is true, then I want to see it and then lobby for that loon coach to be fired.

Anyway, since you seem to be utterly oblivious of this guy, here’s Lindsey Scott’s senior highlights film for your viewing pleasure:

LINK

While he isn’t the fastest guy on the field, he is damn fast enough and quick as hell. Not to mention, that he looks to me to have the best vision on the field. Indeed, the dude only passed and ran the football his senior season for only 5002 yards and won a state championship.

If he had been 6’1” with that film, he would have been a high four star, at 6’ 3”, he would have been a five star. At 5’11”, he is only a three star. However, he looked like to me that he had the best vision on the field.

Not to mention, that unlike you, the guy is incredibly sharp: LINK , LINK , LINK

Now this isn’t to say that Danny Etling will automatically lose the job, because I thought he did a pretty damn good job leading LSU last season, with the exception of only one game. Nonetheless, I wanted to show you how underestimating and diminishing Scott’s ability to play based on little more that hearsay and intuition is a very stupid mistake. The guy can play and he will give Etling a very stiff competition that will make both of them better players, and I wouldn’t be too surprised if he wins the job, as that guy has tons of potential. In fact, Coach O went out of his way to say that Scott will be a very good player for us during the post-game Louisville press conference, and coaches don’t do that unless they believe it.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see that guy starting at QB for LSU for the next four seasons.

It's was on gordys show like I said. And Scott's hs coach said nothing to diminish his ex player that's just you spinning the quote. And Scott isn't 6'1 so another mute point. And if you're gonna base his ability to be an sec level qb by high school stats you might as well just stop posting. If Hs stats are a barometer then Chad loupe would've been a heisman candidate and Quinn would be a balitnekoff award winner yet neither player is or was even a starter at the college level. You' havnt made one single valid point and personally insulting a stranger you know nothing about only proves you have no argument. I've offered to put my statements on the line and back them up but ppl like you can only hide behind your keyboards throw empty insults and back down when challenged.

Your forgot our trash fricking O-Line. Having less than 2 seconds to throw coupled with a butterfingered receiver , you get the Bama game.

I guess fournette was trash too huh? Kinda hard to run / throw the ball when u are getting hit the moment you touch the ball.

Scott's hs coach did say exactly that in am interview on gordys show right after he signed


Sure okay. His coach has said this repeatedly:

"
He’s another offensive coordinator on the field,” Zachary High coach David Brewerton said on my radio show in Baton Rouge. “Sometimes the stigma of a dual-threat quarterback is that it’s a running back that throws the ball every now and again. That’s not Lindsey. His eyes are constantly downfield. Even when he breaks containment, he’s still looking to get rid of the football. … He is 100 percent quarterback who also happens to be able to run the ball.”

if you have a personal preference just because


Don't have personal preference. McMillan has a stronger arm than DE. DE has been more accurate. How does that show preference for the back up.

quote:

McMillan isn't athletic and has no arm he's very accurate and that's about it.


One more time. He's very athletic. Crazy arm strength. Actually struggles with accuracy sometimes.

quote:

Scott is a good player but has 4.7ish 4.8 speed and to quote his coach "he can be a good scrambler but isn't a true college level running qb".


So he scrambled for 2000 yds his SR. Year? Lol. I seem him on film going with multiple runs of 60 plus yds. Regardless of how crazy you are with your speed guess, I'll take that. No other QB on the roster ran on that level in HS.

Believe what you want but if you'd like to put your money where your mouth is we can make a ban bet.


Ok that proves it. I'm arguing with a HS. I'm going to act like you've already been banned. Adios

PS I saw MB recently (last 4 weeks). He wasnt even 180. But he has a lot of time. He'll get there.

All that you've proved is that you're a liar a bad judge of talent a coward and a puff. I'm older than you and I've played and coached 2 things you've never done. You're takes on McMillan are priceless exactly opposite of the player he is.

I like Scott he was a hell of a high school player and Id like to see what he could do given a chance in 2018. But that means frick all in college and I'm not stupid you have to have a certain level of physical stature or athletic ability to be an SEC level qb. Not 1 SEC school offered him not Kentucky not even mizzou or Vandy that tells you something. We picked him up late because the great Franks shunned us. He's a good player but he's too small to be a winning pocket passer and not nearly fast enough to run from SEC defenders. The only chance he has at ever starting a game is if Brennan comes along slowly and he gets a start or 2 in 2018 until Brennan is ready. As far as McMillan he couldn't start for Mcneese and everything you've said about him is false. Btw Miles Brennan is over 190lbs right now so again you're false info about when you last "saw him personally" just proves your dishonesty.

That's McMillans profile page notice the 5.08 40 time lmao yea crazy athletic.

Too small? See comments above.

Pocket passer? Research throwing lanes. Secondly, watch Heisman winner Johnnie maziel, who played college under 6'0 LINK . Though there's video of an all American game showing Scott throwing behind a 6'6 line, who says Canada's offense will require a pocket passer. Where is it written that you have to be effective from the pocket to win in the SEC. Was Jalen Hurts a pocket passer this past year? Was he effective from the pocket?

quote:

not nearly fast enough to run from SEC defenders


You know this how? I'll probably put more trust in what he did versus divinity and Harris (Arkansas 2016 signee) in the state championship, as well scrimmage film here (where he seemed to be pulling away just fine), than a rantards opinion.

Etling is our guy. But this kid has given me no reason to doubt his ability.

4.15 shuttle. 33" vertical. 35ft power ball. A laser test now 3 years ago, doesn't tell me where he is now. But let's look at his Shuttle, which is more meaningful than the 40 for purpose of measuring athletism.

"Of all drills that can measure agility and quickness, the 20-yard shuttle is easily the most telling indication of a player’s shot-area explosiveness." LINK

If his pro shuttle has improved since the spring of his Jr. Year (and we'd have to assume that all of his numbers have improved after 3 springs with Moffitt), it supports what I've seen. 4.15 we be good right now.

Where to begin with all of the false and dumb comments from your post? Manziel is 6 foot not under 6 foot LINK
Russell Wilson was a world class athlete Scott is nowhere close to a world class athlete Wilson was drafted by the MLB. Blake sims was also over 6 feet and was a 220lb running back I'd say that pretty athletic. You said you trust that Scott has superior athleticism because he went against Brandon harris lol. Brandon harris was trying to play defense and catch Scott? Plus again you're using fricking high school to judge someone as an elite college football player. It's stupid and the fact that it's backbone of your argument says everything. And I guess you're going to keep beating your head against the wall and lying about McMillan when I showed you he ran a 5.08 40 (olineman speed) your answer was to post made up unsupported "I saw it first hand" lies. And Miles Brennan is over 190 now you idiot he's been working with a nutritionist and trainer and he's gaining weight weekly at present. But hey your fantasy access trumps facts so don't let reality stop you.

Without a link, to back up your allegation, I can’t believe you. I can’t believe anyone as dumb as you are without substantiation, you must think I’m a fool or something.

quote:

And Scott's hs coach said nothing to diminish his ex player that's just you spinning the quote.


If a high school coach goes around claiming that his high school quarterback is too slow to be a division I QB like you said, then it can’t be interpreted any other way. Indeed, how you’d like it if your ex-girlfriend went around bragging that she dumped your ugly arse because you are so damn small. Would you also claim that wasn’t diminishing you and harming your ability to hook up with another female? Give me a break.

quote:

And Scott isn't 6'1 so another mute point.


Who said that Scott is 6’1”? Certainly, not me, I said instead that with that highlight film, if Scott was 6’1” he would have been a high 4 star, and if he were 6’3” he would have been a 5 star. However, because he is 5’11”, he was only a 3 star. Man…where did you learn to read and comprehend, in Ville Platte?

quote:

And if you're gonna base his ability to be an sec level qb by high school stats you might as well just stop posting.


Every freaking college coach in America, unless they are as dumb and as unhinged as you are, considers the high school stats of every high school player they recruit and sign. Don’t they have any private schools in Ville Platte you could have gone too other than the one you did? Wow. Not to mention that he QB’d his 5A team to the state championship while accumulating over 5000 yards in the process.

quote:

If Hs stats are a barometer then Chad loupe would've been a heisman candidate and Quinn would be a balitnekoff award winner yet neither player is or was even a starter at the college level.


No you idiot, you also watch their films and their games to confirm whether or not they also have the athletic ability and physicality to match their stats. Furthermore, if memory serves me right, Loup was recruited and signed by Mike Archer, who was one of the worst coaches ever in the history of LSU. So no wonder Loup only had a mediocre career at LSU, he should have been playing at Tulane, Southwest Louisiana, or LA Tech instead, and where he would have been if that idiot Mike Archer hadn’t recruited and signed him.

Nonetheless, even though Les Miles and Cam Cameron were both pretty horrible coaches in their own right, at least when it came to recruiting, they weren’t half bad.

quote:

You' havnt made one single valid point and personally insulting a stranger you know nothing about only proves you have no argument.


You sound like you are talking to yourself. I’m not personally insulting a stranger, I’m simply responding to a very dumb post and the dummy who wrote it. Man…if you are going to post here on the Rant, you need to grow a little thicker skin and stop being a crybaby. In any event, all the points I made are all very relevant and valid. Nonetheless, it is you who is incredibly mentally handicapped and that’s not my fault, as there isn’t a damn thing I can do about that.

quote:

I've offered to put my statements on the line and back them up but ppl like you can only hide behind your keyboards throw empty insults and back down when challenged.


Oh really, so that’s why you substantiated your claim with a link about Scott being too slow to be a Div I college QB according to his high school coach?

By the way, you moonbat, did you at least watch his film? Not to mention, why do you think that Coach O and Coach Aranda both went out of their way during the post-game press conference after the Louisville victory to tell us that Lindsey Scott is a dual threat QB who will be a very good player for us? You think they just wanted to be nice or something? Therefore, they singled out only one player on the team who didn’t even play to heap praise upon him randomly?

In addition why did Herb Tyler claim in a SEC Football News article shortly after that Louisville victory that Scott was the best QB on the team last year and that he should have an opportunity to win the job in 2017, and then further went on to say that right now, Scott has the best leadership skills on the team?

Youre not clicking the link and You don't read. Maziel measured 5'11 3/4 at the combine. Which means he played college ball at that height. Read. YouTube the NFL combine. Since you did not read the first link, here's another one. Manzel measuring 5'11"
LINK

quote:

Blake sims was also over 6 feet and was a 220lb running back I'd say that pretty athletic


Please READ. Blake simms measures 5'11 at pro day LINK . I thought you said that 5'11 was too short to play from the pocket in the SEC.

quote:

Russell Wilson was a world class athlete Scott


So you think Russell would have faired just fine in the SEC because he got drafted by the MLB. So again, you can play QB in the SEC at 5'11? And Scott has not done anything to cast doubt. In fact, his college offers, stats, and recruiting ranking were higher than Russell leaving HS playing better comp. Does that mean he's the next Russell? NO. Can he be. We'll see. If HE has the talent, his height shouldn't stop him.

quote:

You said you trust that Scott has superior athleticism because he went against Brandon harris lol. Brandon harris was trying to play defense and catch Scott?


When did I say that. I said he played against divinity, and divinity's teammate (a SEC linebacker named Harris) in the Superdome. He ran through and threw well on John Ehret's Defense. SLOW DOWN AND READ BRO. DAMN.

quote:

Plus again you're using fricking high school to judge someone as an elite college football player. It's stupid and the fact that it's backbone of your argument says everything.


You prefer MB. Aren't you using his HS performance to form an opinion. I just pointed out that Scott destroyed SEC recruits head to head.

quote:

And I guess you're going to keep beating your head against the wall and lying about McMillan when I showed you he ran a 5.08 40 (olineman speed) your answer was to post made up unsupported "I saw it first hand" lies.


I'm not beating my head against anything. I gave you aN article that showed that the pro shuttle is more important then the 40-yard dash predicting athleticism. I didn't make up his Pro shuttle numbers, his vertical, nor his Power Ball Toss. I used the same link that you sent me on ESPN. Those numbers clearly demonstrate and athleticism.

quote:

Brennan is over 190 now you idiot he's been working with a nutritionist and trainer and he's gaining weight weekly at present. But hey your fantasy access trumps facts so don't let reality stop you.


This thread is about DANNY Etling. I'm done talking about a kid that hasn't taking a college class.

ATTENTION: this is my last post on this dumb topic. Back to the original topic.

THIS IS DANNY ETLINGS TEAM. LETS RALLY BEHIND HIM. IM NOT GOING OF TOPIC.

There are no links I can find to gordys show. You've said nothing of substance or truth all you've done is prove you're a racist and a bigot you're also a liar spinning quotes out of context like all snakes and cowards do. Put your money where your mouth is and make a ban bet you piece of trash. Ban bet me that Scott never takes Etlings job ban bet me that Scott never makes. 3 starts for LSU. C'mon pussy you're gonna run your mouth and then run away cause you're a bitch. Btw we have a private school here that produces more successful ppl than you yearly. Herb Tyler also said his prized LB was gonna shun Bama and come to LSU and saying he was the best qb on the team right after a game that he didn't play a down in is very telling. So keep listening to idiotic comments it exposes what a moron and a loser you are. What are you even doing on a msg board "cowboy" I'm sure they're missing you up on brokeback.

According to NFL.com, Johnny Manziel comes up short of 6 feet at NFL combine
Johnny Manziel comes up short of 6 Feet at NFL combine
. I remember this prepsportsallday. There's a ton of articles out there that talk about this. I also agree, that its been proven that QBs under 6'0" can do well in this league. I've said it before, the SEC is primarily and "running league" anyway. Its known for stud RB and WRs, but not necessarily eilte QBs. I also agree that this thread is about Danny, whom I'm hoping can get it done this season. Then give these young guys a year to develop and compete in 2018. #GeauxTigers #GeauxDanny

Except you're wrong.

Matt Flynn has 2407 yards in 12 games (Missed 2 during the season) That's 200 yards a game

Danny Etling had 2123 yards in 11 games

Also compare TDs 21>>>>>>>>>11


Even though I think Flynn is overrated by the fanbase, every QB since Flynn (minus Jennings) has had a higher QB rating in at least one year of them starting, he could definitely score. He posted 25 total TDs in 12 games. The best any LSU QB has done since then was JJ with 18 in 11.5 games and Mett with 22 in 12 games.

Yep you're right. Etling was more efficent, but definitely not more productive.

My problem with Etling is that he's a plain Jane QB. He can throw short well enough, but he's not accurate at all downfield. It was the opposite with Harris. Also his mobility is only pocket QB decent which means hoping that he can become a threat in the run game (like you need to to beat teams like Bama), is more like wishful thinking.

Hopefully one of the other guys step up, because Etling is just too physically limited for us to win the big games.
