Throw him in there; that sounds reasonable to you people?

Let's see, we have two QBs that got thrown in there way to soon, by necessity, and both of them are struggling so instead of having patience we should just ruin another one?

And if his confidence gets shot like the other two should we take the red shirt off of Zach Lee and ruin him too?

Hey Ruben Randall played QB for a year in high school, maybe he’s the answer, and so on and so on and so on….

I am sadly convinced that we have surpassed the gumps as the most STUPID fan base in the nation.

Congratulations!

midway through his redshirt season isnt really too early, depending on the makeup of the kid. keep in mind, he also enrolled early in 2009, so im guessing hes pretty bright and he has 2 spring practices under his belt.

+1

I wish people would shut up about this. Garrett is not ready. As bad as Jeff and Lee looked at the spring game, Garrett looked worse. All four of his passes were off target. He looked like a young qb whose not ready yet and in his defense that is exactly what he should look like at this moment in his carreer.

I'm all for giving the kid some mop up duty so he can get some experience and if he really, really shines, then maybe give him a couple of semi meaningful possessions to see what he can do with them. But people who expect him to be better than Lee and Jeff against SEC defenses are crazy/retarded.

Maybe not in every single aspect.

But if you're saying we have the stupidest posters on a flagship message board, you probably have a point.

I've seen Tiger Rant go from an exciting, stimulating place for LSU sports talk to informed, intelligent posters leaving in disgust and leaving it to the dregs.

It hasn't been a pretty sight the last couple years.

This....x's 10,000

And the pass to Shep in the end zone..he threw it off his back foot. Go look at the tape. This kid isn't near being ready. His upside is huge but he needs to NOT go through what has apparently ruined our 1 and 2 QB's (rank 'em where you want) and that is being thrust into the action before he's ready. Let him sit this year and maybe even next. I don't care. But if he goes in now, it's quite possible that he'll look like Jarrett Lee personified.

And as far as us surpassing the Gumps as the stupidest fan base......I don't know if we've surpassed them but we're definitely running neck and neck. At least some on here are.
