re: McMillan looks better than his star rating

"He's smart, very disciplined, and is a good listener, exactly what you want at QB."

yeah, we heard the exact same about aj

That one clip does show he has some talent.

If he makes the TE his best friend, he will definitely do well.

McMillan is on a different level than both AJ & BH were when they were freshmen.

Better or worse level?

Based on 3 passes in a scrimmage?

Good lord man, I'm not anointing him the next Andrew Luck, but if that TD throw doesn't immediately stand out to you as having some serious velocity, then I don't really know what to tell you.

that throw was 30yards in the air, on a dime.

Would have been the best throw by a QB last year at LSU.

So.... who was he throwing to anyway?

I remember some saying Jeremy Hill would be one of the greatest LSU running backs of all time based on his first few carries in garbage time vs Idaho. So who knows?

---

GOAT is a stretch, but I'd say he turned out to be a pretty damn good player don't you think?

In fact, LSUsports.net isn't shy about calling him one of the best.

quote:

---

Ended up becoming one of the top running backs in school history with 2,156 yards and 18 TDs on 345 carries … Averaged a staggering 6.3 yards per carry for his career … Finished career ranked No. 7 in school history in rushing TDs (28) and No. 11 in LSU history in rushing yards (2,156) … His 1,401 rushing yards in 2013 ranks No. 2 in LSU history for a single-season, while the 16 rushing TDs rank No. 4 in school history for a season … Tied LSU season record with seven 100-yard rushing games in 2013, including career-best 216 yards in Outback Bowl win over Iowa … For career, had 11 100-yard rushing games, which ranks fourth in school history.

You're basing that off of a spring game where he went 3/3 against bench players ? Come on man.

I like McMillan, he's def better than his star rating and he did throw a nice TD pass to Smith, who was pretty open, but come on. Wait til we see what he actually does in a game before saying something like that. I mean Harris is still in his freshman year. He was the QB for like 25 drives this season and we scored touchdowns on 13 of them. And that includes the Auburn game.

And Jennings didn't play much as a true freshman but he did led us to the game winning touchdown vs Arky and was the QB for the bowl game where we beat Iowa.

To say that McMillan is on a different level than they were as true freshman based off what he did in a spring game vs bench players is just wrong. He hasn't even dressed for a game yet, let alone take a snap in a game.

I've been underwhelmed mostly by the downfield passing by our current guys. In a play action offense, that's not a good thing. I honestly think Justin makes a run at starting QB next season.

Well he's redshirting this year.
