re: What’s with the inflated perception of Danny Etling on here lately?

While Harris did regress, his 2015 season is damn near the same as Etling's 2017 season.

Well, that's just not true at all. Nobody is saying Etling is an all-time LSU QB, but his 2017 season was pretty damn good. Completed 60% of his passes for 2,463 yards with 16 TDs and only 2 interceptions. Added another 2 TDs rushing. His 153 passer rating was 3rd best in the SEC that year, and his 9 yards/attempt also was 3rd best in the SEC this year and 9th in the nation. His adjusted yards/attempt was 9.8 which ranked 2nd in the SEC and 6th in the NCAA that year. Hell, his combined 2 year y/a at LSU is 8.4 and ranks 23rd best in the SEC since 1956. His adjusted y/a was 8.8 and ranks 21st in SEC history since 1956.

Harris and Jennings and the like weren't putting up numbers like that. Etling wouldn't be on LSU's Mount Rushmore of QBs if it had 10 faces, but the OP--who is just dumb as all frick--is the one who's revising history. Etling wasn't "average" or "serviceable." Certainly not by LSU standards. Dude had a pretty productive 2 years here and was a tough SOB. And literally was the bridge to Burrow.
