Could we be sleeping on Rickie Collins as next year’s backup?

Swann has SEC experience but Collins could make a nice step from his first year to his 2nd. He’s got a big arm and he also can use his legs. I wouldn’t automatically put Swann as the #2 guy right now.

I trust Kelly will have a competition and play the best.

He's third string, therefore the rant has decided he will never play a meaningful snap at LSU.

Swann on the other hand will be the best QB we have on the roster according to the rant.

That's the way this works.

Based on tRant’s track record with QBs, Collins is the best in a generation.

Swann will be QB2 and is a damn good backup for anybody to have. If anything happens to Nuss he’ll be able to come in and win games with the talent he’ll have around him.

I’d think if Collins was any kind of threat they wouldn’t have brought in Swann.

I mean, you could try it. I don't see how you're going to keep your balance, be uncomfortable as hell, and Rickie might have something to say about it- it's going to be kind of uncomfortable for him too.

I would expect that if Collins looked capable of being a solid number two that they would not have recruited the Vandy guy.

I mean yeah Collins could I guess. But you’ve got one guy with multiple years of starts in the SEC, and one guy that has thrown 2 total passes. I know who I’m predicting will be the backup, you can pick whoever you want.

I still think Collins will never play a meaningful snap at LSU absent injuries or significant unexpected transfers around him. In other words, I don't think he's going to beat anybody out for the job, and will likely transfer if he wants playing time.
