I walked by him on campus. He's thick for a QB. Thought he was a RB. But the fact that he was no more than 5'9" really made me double take when I realized it was him. I don't know a thing about his skills, intangibles, etc. But I saw him with my own 2 eyes and that boy is short. People use Brees as a comparison. Brees would eat soup off his head


Ive seen him after practice this year. He's 5'11. Every bit of 210. But what difference does that make. I watched the kid make throws from behind our line, on our D.

Back issues can linger and he's better than McMillan, so he should be #2 with a legit shot to see serious PT in the fall.

Herb Tyler v2.0 is fine for me.

TigerBait1127 nailed it. There are/were more exceptions to your idea of "baseline measurables" than Wilson, who also made it AND succeeded big time.

Your opinion about needing an elite passer to run the spread is just that.. your opinion.

After years of coming to this board, nothing struck a nerve to join and open a debate until LSJ? HE is the straw that breaks the camels back?

With his elusiveness he needs to get on the field. If QB isn't in the cards he does have measurable's to be a great RB.

Why not look to that possibility if he does not work out at QB?

This is what happens when mothers are on the phone at work and thinking about NFL bucks and quitting there job. LSU "owes'' him? This could be an Auburn burn job here too.

Couldnt agree more. Sounds like a "made up history". Coaches being fired. Fournette. Hiring of new coaches. But the OP decides to sign up for TD cause of LSJ.

Unlike the OP, Ive seen the kid under center and in the spread this spring. As ive posted here a few times, he was the only QB to find the endzone a few times. Was ellusive as heck. No opions here, just what i saw.

Etling dreams of making these throws.

Hope the kid can still get into Harvard for grad school. Hate to see someone miss that opportunity.

In that case, move him to running back.

I agree the kid needs to be used if he has no shot at the starting QB position, his running skills are good and i mean good

Dont waste him like we did Russell Sheppard

in order to be a great spread qb you have to be an elite passer.


wrong again. you mean spread passing game? or are you talking about spread option and subsets like power spread/power read? no, you are wrong.

JackWagon, If you are from Zachary, do you know whether its true that Harvard offered Lindsey a substantial percentage of their endowment if he would agree to go there? That Princeton agreed to change the name of the school?

LSJ might not be the answer, but all the points you tried to make were base off of PRO football. To say you need Cam Newton to run the spread in college is laughable. The most successful offenses in college are spread offenses.

I stand corrected. To win a national championship in college football, which is akin to NFL level football and coaching, to do it with a spread system you will need a Cam Newton, which if my memory serves me he's the last player to win it capable of passing for 200 plus and running for 100. Not Nick Marshall, who came close. Not Dak. Not Johnny Football. Not Lamar Jackson who plays Duke Wake Forrest and Syracuse etc.

But since I argued what's wrong with LSJ, how about what it would take for him to succeed. Again, I watched him for two years every play. Full all out spread option implemented. Quick passes. A legitimate threat to run by him which means exposing him to hits. WRs who can extend plays and break routes when he rolls out. As some NFL scout just said on TV qbs must dominate the game from within the pocket. LSJ isn't that. Why would the coaches change the entire offense and what's being asked of everyone for one player to succeed with no guarantee of team success.

National. It would be nice to win the SEC, like Alabama did with 5'11" Blake Sims. Also, Deshaun Watson is no Cam Newton.

Lets be honest, If this kid were 6'5", this thread wouldnt exist. If he never gets a shot (which I hope he does), it will be because his height creates the presumption that he can't do it. He's proven he was the best player in the state. If given the an equal chance at the job, he could be good.

jackwagon225 - i see it far differently than you. But again, I've actually seen the practices at LSU.

HIGH SCHOOL
Quick passes?? Ive watched this kid in high school since 10th grade. Check out the 50 second mark. Drops a bomb from the pocket in stride. At 1:42 he drops one from the pocket into the endzone for a TD. At the start of the film, he throws a skinny post to split two defenders. I first saw him on cox as a 10th grader versus 4th ranked plaquemine. He tore them new arses.

LINK

His 11 grade year, I watched him dropped 70 pts on top plaquemine who ranked in the top 10 in 4A. I'm good friends with a college coach who recruited this kid. His opinion is "dynamic playmaker, with crazy IQ, who can make all of the throws."

It's clear you have no idea what you're talking about. Didn't a certain mobile QB light up the same Bama team that held us to a total score of 0 points?

a qb capable of winning you a game. Russell Wilson's one year where he had a top 10 ever defense and beast mode was an outlier exception.


Not sure what Wilson has to do with this but since you mentioned it, he was the reason his team won games last year.

and wr play isn't good enough.


Please stop. We have some of the most talented WRs in the country, they've shown what they can do if a capable QB was throwing to them.
