Why is the rant saying Zach Lee won't play FB (if he comes)

as of now, it appears lee is coming to LSU. he was picked by the absolute best franchise for LSU's interests
however, i keep reading comments that he won't be coming here to play football
did i miss a comment/article about this, or is this speculation by the rant?
now let me say this...riding our FB hopes on a kid who may be leaving for MLB in 3 yeras is risky. you figure he'll redshirt, and then we'll maybe have him play his RS soph year (JJ will be here for his first 2 years. CG likely takes over, but who knows?)
but my question is why is the rant just assuming he's done with football?

A redshirt sophmore who excells as a qb can be a number one pick. see sam bradford. Sam bradford even got hurt his junior year and was a number one pick.

but with CG, it's not likely lee would be starting in his 3rd year
i mean he may not leave after 3 years, but if he does he's almost assuredly a non-factor except likely being the backup his RS soph year

lee is on campus, thats a fact. If he decides to stay and isnt a factor on the football team, he would still likely be a factor on the baseball team

Thats an assumption on your part.
lee can start as a college baseball player. I see no reason why, if he's as good as advertised, he couldn't compete or be a starting qb next year.
regardless, by his junior year, he will have an opportunity to be drafted by baseball again and know where his football future lies.
see jake locker, d. sanders, john elway, bo jackson, ect.

Slow to answer I would have to say they are looking at the 1.5 million reasons that DD reported he would make to sign.

you just named 2 positional players, and 2 guys who had no real competition at QB

Are people saying he is done with football right now, assuming he comes to LSU?
Anyone saying he is done with football makes no sense, IMO. If he was going to only play baseball, he'd go pro. If he comes to LSU, it's to play football.
Having said that, there are very few scenarios where he makes an impact in football. He would have to be a better prospect in football than baseball for him to pass on the draft in 3 years. That's pretty unlikely. So, he'd only have 3 years to make an impact and, it's highly unlikely he would play as a freshman. That leaves 2 years to win the starting job. Don't forget that he'd be playing baseball in the spring which could hinder some of his development.
IMO, if he comes to LSU, he'd be huge for the baseball team...and either be a 1st round draft pick in football or make very little impact. I don't see the opportunity for anything else.

Intersting this sudden "interest" you've developed in z lee. I mentioned this as a very real possibility many months ago. This was your response:

what difference does it make? if you're that good, there isn't a competition. if lee is as good as those guys, lsu doesn't have a qb that would be any competition.
There is a reason why there wasn't competition for the qb's or the position players. they were superior to everyone else.
if you need a lsu example, les miles example, see pat peterson. he's superior to anyone on the team at his position. he beat out seniors, jr's, had cb's moved to safety due to his ability. Same with m.c.

I have not followed this situation closely, but the very reason a two sport star usually shuns MLB is so he can continue playing two sports. I find it hard to believe that the kid would turn down a 7 digit bonus and then play baseball only at LSU. Hey, more power to him if he does, but that just doesn't make sense to me.

SFP, I think people just believe that LSU can't get lucky and have this guy come to campus. First round picks do pass up the MLB, happened once the last two years. Depends on how much he gets and if he will play early. Looks like he has to beat JJ and JL at least. I don't know how good he is, but that will be hard as a true freshman. We just have to hope and wait.
